I think Jews would disagree.
In 1953, Stalin appeared ready to start a massive pogrom against the Jews when he passed on to his celestial reward. Millions of these Soviet Jews whose lives were saved by Stalin's death might not disagree.
Different limbs on same tree.
Yeah, it’s all the same crap, different bowl. Totalitarian control through violence and intimidation. Call em whatever you want...RATs works for me.
Although they are not likely to self identify as such, I’d say baby-killers Hitlary, Janet Reno and their ilk at the DHHS CPS are fairly Nazi-esque. And Weasely Clark.
Bump.....
In terms of those killed by Communist Russia v Nazi Germany the Russians killed more than the Nazis.
Yes. Much worse.
The evil of Nazi Germany - The destruction of the Jewish people (but not limited to just Jews. Blacks, Gypsies, Slavs were all considered untermenschen.)
The evil of communism - The destruction of the humanity of the person. Communism looks upon a person as a cog in the machine that is the government. The person has no value outside of the usefulness to the government. It also destroys individuality. It simply can’t be allowed. Difference of thought must be eliminated.
Looking strictly at the numbers, Communism was responsible for far more deaths than Nazism. Hitler’s Germany murdered about 13 million people. Stalin’s communism murdered at least 20 million. But other communist regimes throughout the 20th century have pushed that number to as many as 100 million or more. From Romania, East Germany, North Korea, Cuba, Viet Nam, Cambodia, and last but certainly not least, Communist China. Mao may very well be the greatest mass murderer of all time.
I think that we can agree that saying communism is evil does not reduce the evil of the Nazis. They’re simply 2 sides of the same coin.

For a detailed comparison see Snyder's book Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. The book focuses on East Central Europe -- Belarus, Ukraine, etc.
Maintaining evil sprouts is a tricky business, actually. My uncle Irv used to say the key is not too much sunlight, and don’t drown them.

-JUST MORE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA...
In Reality:
Nazism are Fascism are Leftist central planning, central authority totalitarian and authoritarian collectivist ideologies that sacrifice objective individual God-given rights at the altar of subjective politically correct collective rights -JUST LIKE Communism, Islamism, Socialism, Progressivism and Globalism -ALL Left wing ideologies.
Extreme right-wing radicalism would entail a state of dog eat dog individual and tribal anarchy with no rule of law, no authority local, state or central with NO central planning.
Even in the extreme right-wing version of Conservatism, Conservatism is all about rule of law, limited government, and individual personal and property rights...
Succinct. Correct.
Good...
Totalitarian socialism is the supreme evil. Whether that system is national socialist or soviet socialist is not an important distinction.
It is not obvious from history whether the very large numbers murdered by the Nazi party and by the communist party differed because of differences in ideology or just because of differences in tactics/efficiency. It is hard to say that the eleven million murdered by Germans was more or less terrible than the twenty million or so murdered by Stalin. My perspective: Why would anyone work so hard to bring either system back? [A question I would like to ask Bernie, Hillary, and the rest of America’s socialists and communists.]
An academic game of no merit played in the teacher’s lounge.
Thats it in a nutshell.
Under the German Nazis, Krupp continued on as long as he supported the regime.
Under communism, they would have taken Krupp, killed off its officers and took full control of the production. It is true Marxism.
Hitler hated the commies because they wanted to control him and he wanted to control them.
I have read that one of the reasons Hitler hated the Jews so much is that he blamed them for Marxism.. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Dont know if that is true or not, but, Marx was Jewish.
IMO, it was the mob on steroids. After all, the mob systems are/were set up similar.
Democrats are worse than both. They are doing their damndest to destroy this country from within and are far more dangerous.
Well it’s interesting to note that if anything, Stalin was closer to Hitler than to Lenin.
Lenin wanted to reduce the influence of Russian Nationalism on the Soviet Union, and wanted the focus of the Soviet Union to be on spreading Communism worldwide.
Stalin, wanted “Socialism in One Country”, and implemented “Russification” across the Soviet Union, and ethnically cleansed entire regions and replacing them with ethnic Russians.
“True enough,particularly given that a fair percentage of them are Communists.”
There are far more jewish communists/democrats than jewish nazis...nicht wahr?
“The great myth is that Nazism is right, but, as you say, the starting point is everything. “
Problem is the NSDAP was a bulwark aginst communism.Who do we have a problem with today...NSDAP or communists/democrats?
