And yet hitler hated communism.

From what i’ve seen in our country and others among the movements is that fascism is an Extreme, intolerant view of who belongs in your country..religion, race, sexual proclivities, political views. etc.

Communism is an extreme hatred of your own country.

Just my worthless two cents :)

Not so sure he hated communisim. I think he hated Russia.

I guess he coulda hated communism too.

Criminal gangs hate and kill each other even though they are engaged in the same business with the same methods. It is a matter of competition. Lenin wasn’t worried so much about Party purity as he was about who was to rule whom.

The Nazis didn't hate communism so much as they hated Russians, for one reason or another. But they did actually share a lot of commonalities. Until Hitler's surprise attack on the Soviets, they were allies.

The differences between communism and fascism can certainly be pointed out, but so can the differences between two pigs. In practice, both are systems where a person's rights depends upon their rank in government. But if you're not part of the ruling class, you're expendable.

Authoritarianism moves from anarchy to libertarianism to conservatism to liberalism to socialism to fascism to communism. That’s the natural progression once you decide government intervention is a good thing.

It may also indicate an unstable China, financially speaking.

Hitler started out as a socialist. Hitler recruited among the communists. I think Hitler hated the German communists because they wouldn’t allow him to be in charge.

The actual conflict between Hitler and Stalin, was over who got to be in charge.

Hitler hated the German Communists, who he fought for power. Just one more example in the long history of Marxists killing each other. No one doubts both Russia and China were communists at the time of their war.
