The only real difference between Nazis and communists was that Nazis believed Germans were superior and communists that Russians were superior.
That and a few trivial things like the Nazi obsession with hoary medieval myths about the lost ark.
While communists might not always have been anti-Semitic, that came and went with the times, by the end of his rule Stalin was almost as anti-Semitic as Hitler.
Their economic and social philosophies were very similar.
The myth that Nazism is “right wing” was started by the allies of communists in the academic world to provide a useful pretext for smearing conservative anti-communist political movements. This continues up to the present time as one of the many lies of political correctness.
We had a blogger in Canada who used to publish almost daily diatribes against the Stephen Harper government in which he openly stated that Harper and other leading conservatives were neo-Nazis. There was no shred of evidence to back this up other than one photograph of one person with a Catholic bishop who had chosen the fascist side in the Yugoslavian civil war. But these are standard communist disinformation tactics, and have been successfully used to hold back support for conservative political parties through this false educational paradigm.
The fact that the only opposition in Europe to Hitler was the staunch conservative, Winston Churchill, seems to have escaped these cynical analysts. As soon as the Soviet Union escaped the mortal peril of the Nazi invasion, they went right back to bad mouthing Churchill and his party (which was then in opposition having lost an election in late 1945). They kept this up right through the Cold War despite having been saved from total defeat by the sacrifices made by Britain in 1941-42.
I still have my right of speech... GERMANY, grow some BALLS!! When will you fight?? After the MUZZIES ban Oktoberfest??
Lots and lots of mixed-up scholarship, legends and false mythology here, that appears to have started with a brilliant British bureaucrat. While he was not the first to take notice, William Jones (1746-94) was a polymath with an interest in India even prior to being appointed to the British government there. Arriving in Calcutta in 1783, he delved deeply into the languages, religions and literature and then became forever famous in 1847 when he gave a lecture pointing out similarities between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin to which he later added Celtic and Persian. He became of the opinion that there was a common ancestral language to all of them.
From this start came the now accepted theory that almost all the languages found in Europe and the ancient Persian Empire through to northern India were derived from a ancestral language and people who's modern designation is "Indo-European". Further studies give the probable source of the language and people as being located on the Northern Iranian Plateau prior to 2000BC.
The mythology derives from such authors as Arthur de Gobineau (1816-82) who adopted the idea of the Indo-European master language & race but added things like an uncorrupted elite pure strain characterized by being blonde and blue-eyed. This was the conceptualization that were seized upon by Nietzsche (Also Sprach Zarathustra) and went into the tailored Nazi superman, the Übermensch.
Isn't History fun! And we get to repeat it too. Take the same concepts, file off the inconvenient facts, add your own facts and you get roughly the same with different pigmentation and sourced from Namibia to civilize the world!
Isn't History fun! And we get to repeat it too. Very sad ROFL.
People here have noticed reality has been suspended.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise. Joseph Goebbels
