    And they wonder why we get all these migrants at our southern border. Maybe if they hadn’t destabilized the entire region to the south people wouldn’t be trying to escape those places.

          I don’t think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system

          I’ve seen many idiots do that unfortunately

          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.

          Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.

                  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

                Fascism is when you oppose fascism.

                Do you even understand what the words you’re using mean?

                  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.

                  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.

                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.

        Even the DDR wasn’t doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

    Why does Venezuela want to invade Guyana right now?

    Probably because oil. Socialist assholes behave the same way as every other asshole on the planet. Same shit, different “-ism”.
