So a political group that loves people like Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, Ben Carson and Walter Williams is racist?

And our Left is as anti-Israel as could be. You’ve missed the divestiture movement from our Leftist universities, for instance? How can you be any more anti-Semitic than being anti-Israel? Any thinking person with a knowledge of history knows what the fall of Israel to Islamic armies would mean.

I think you need to rethink some assumptions. Or cough up some specifics.

Nazis vs Communists is like the Bloods vs Crips, only difference is the colors.

You do know Nazism has nothing to do with Jews in particular. Granted the last NAZI regime focused on Jews but that isn’t required to be a national socialist. You do understand that Hitler’s Nazi’s were unique to that place and that time. It could be different or the same next round.

The question is which is more evil national socialism or communism. In honesty communist are worse. At least nationalist are focused on the nation. NAZI in the general form could make hobbits the national enemy and claim success as no hobbits. Both are evil to personal freedoms and natural law but communist are typically more evil and controlling.

I have read many of your posts over the years and I think this may be your worst. I’m not being a PITA. I honestly think you need to think about the definition of both of these terms. Now if someone aske which is worse Hitler’s NAZI or Stalins Comunists then your response would be correct. But for many other non Jews it would be wrong.

As writers from Friedrich Hayek to Jonah Goldberg to Glenn Beck to Dinesh D’Souza have reminded us, Communism and Naziism are just two flavors of the same thing.

People in the Baltic states, who suffered under both, said the Communists were worse.

I don't see Communism as striving for Social Justice. It subjects the populace with the promise of a utopia that never comes. But the animals at the top of Animal Farm sure live well.

Over and over again, I've heard it said that "Communism is wonderful in theory, but it just hasn't been properly implemented." That's not the case. I can name 3 societies where communism is working wonderfully off the top of my head, without having to give it any thought.

Bees, ants, and termites.

These are 3 examples of the perfection of the communist model. Everything is for the good of the collective.

The problem with communism is that it just won't work when it comes to humans. Human beings are incapable of becoming selfless to the extent for communism to work. Communism requires the sacrifice of all to ensure the well being of the community.

Free will has no place in communism. Excel at science as a yourh? You will become a scientist. Not really good anything in particular? You'll become what The State needs you to be. You will live how and where The State determines you need to live. Communism worked hard to eliminate religion, and set up "The State" as the official G-d. As we've seen over and over, even family bonds are discouraged, though that was more difficult with the USSR, due to the strong history of the church.

You will be provided with what you need to survive, no matter how you excel at your work. With no reward for excellence, why bother working hard?

Most importantly, communism devalues the individual, and cannot allow dissent of any kind. Dissent must be eliminated, and history shows that the most common way of doing that was through an authoritarian government eliminating those with the differing views. Communism removes the humanity from the population. And that makes communism evil.

Communism is more dangerous.
Anyone can become a communist. We have Asian communists, black communists, white communists, brown communists. And they all have killed tens of millions of innocent people.

Not everyone can become a Nazi. It is for whites only since it’s based on Nazi racial theories.

People will flock to communism and socialism but not to nazism. The communists have committed genocide in every country they’ve taken over. Pure evil.

And BTW, they are both left wing ideologies.

It’s interesting how Stalin had it both ways. As his NKVD goons were hounding Jews in the Soviet Union, his propagandists were portraying the convicted atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg as victims of anti-Semitism.

When it comes to murder, the Nazis were pikers compared to the Communists.

Communist murdered their own citizens in staggering numbers during the 20th century.

"...I maintain evil sprouts the moment one deprives a man of open, public due process. No communist or fascist regime has ever been able to survive without a secret police: there is the key similarity."

Great point and very much agreed! That should be much more widely known.

One’s International Socialism, the other’s National Socialism. Both make good downrange targets.

At the end of the day, both of them are nothing more than a boot on your face.

And when someone wants to put a boot on your face, there’s only one way to deal with them - The 7.62 Solution.

“...In honesty communist are worse....”

One is the Left cheek and the other is the Right cheek of the same asshole. But they both have “asshole” in common.

They both suck, are equally odious, and have no place in this Country.
