Even the DDR wasn’t doing socialism. The public were sold on the idea or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.
There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.
Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the ‘National Socialist German workers’ party’ and claim that’s enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.
It’s always as a “See!! Socialism bad!!” but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.
Saying that Facists are Facists is trivializing the holocaust? How’s that work? The fact Nazis were Facists doesn’t trivialize the fact that other groups are also Facists. Facists like to kill people that’s kind of their whole ideology. Fascist ideology leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis had.
Ignoring everything else wrong about your one sentence, a dictatorship needn’t be helmed by a single person. Brazil was a dictatorship from the 60s to the 90s, and had 6 different presidents during that time.
> article by a jewish linguist who spent decades interviewing holocaust survivors, writing about how the claim that the soviets were “as bad as the nazis” feeds into holocaust apologia (like when the Canadian parliament gave a standing ovation to a former SS member Yaroslav Hunka last year because he fought against the USSR)
> “I dont really care what Jewish holocaust scholars want”
🤔 its almost as if you dont care about the victims of fascism and just want to score cheap internet points
Incredibly I don’t think that the USSR is “as bad as the Nazis” nor did I say anything like that. Is that why you morons are calling me a Nazi? Do you guys need a paragraph explaining that yes I do think the Nazis are bad?
I’m not trying to win fuckn internet points I’d still be on reddit if I got turned on by that kinda shit. You people are.
I think about this every time some centrist claims that no leftist system has ever worked.
I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren’t doing communism or socialism

Not sure if alternative spelling or if your autocorrect really likes controversial vtuber Uruha Rushia.
Ah shit. Guess you can tell what kinda stuff I like watching
I don’t think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol
I’ve seen many idiots do that unfortunately

Reminder that there’s a bird called titmouse
Oof I feel concerned about those people.
I guess it’s similar to “an” caps.
The Intersection is indeed a very high degree.
It would be funny if there weren’t people suffering and dying because of it
Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.
Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the ‘National Socialist German workers’ party’ and claim that’s enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.
Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.
Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don’t say…
It’s always as a “See!! Socialism bad!!” but yep they were literally fascist, Rushia too and yet here we are with people still thinking communist Rushia was communist.
Jewish holocaust scholars don’t like it when you call the USSR fascist

That sucks. USSR by definition was a fascist regime so I don’t really care what they want

How do holocaust scholars relate to the USSR being facist or not? Facist ≠ Nazi though fascism leads directly to the kind of ideas the Nazis hold

Lol I get the feeling that kinda opinion isn’t popular round here

Okay have fun with the holocaust trivialization I guess.

Tankies are tiring, right? ✌️

The USSR was a dictatorship, but not a fascist dictatorship.
Stalin tried to resign 3 times and wasn’t allowed to. Weird thing for a dictator to not be allowed to do.

Fascism is when you oppose fascism.
Do you even understand what the words you’re using mean?
