Where does Joe think the Germans “invaded Europe” from?
Antarctica?
Germany was attacked by a virus from within, and it metastasized all over Europe. There was a belief that National Socialism would be a “kinder, gentler” sort of socialism than the more militant and less forgiving form as original postulated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The fact is, socialism in ANY form never delivers on its promises, and inevitably decays into a military command-and-control regimented society, with the oligarchy firmly entrenched and not subject to permitting succession as the existing leaders age and become incapable of continued authority. The great future promised to the multitude never materializes, and eventually, unless the regime goes to war against its neighbors and expropriates their wealth, they simply run out of money.
