I know it’s a bit trite to mention him, but I will say that Hitler never thought he was the problem. His policies, you see, were always correct. The problem was the German people. They weren’t good enough and they didn’t deserve a great leader like Hitler.
The EU is a Nazi regime. It’s what the Third Reich had been trying to achieve. The Germans lost WWII, but the Nazis won. If things aren’t perfect, it’s not the fault of the EU. It’s the fault of the Europeans. Perhaps they need more Muslims.
Echos of the "New Soviet Man." It was a central ideological concept in the Soviet Union, promoted by the Communist Party from the 1920s onward that envisioned an
archetype of the ideal citizen: selfless, educated, physically fit, disciplined, and devoted to collectivism, Marxism-Leninism, and building communism.This effort aimed to forge a unified Soviet identity transcending ethnic, cultural, or class differences through propaganda, education (e.g., literacy campaigns), labor heroism (like Stakhanovites), and moral codes, ultimately seeking to transform human nature for a socialist society. "Education" was central to creating the New Soviet Man:
- Mass Literacy Campaigns (Likbez, 1920s–1930s) — These eradicated widespread illiteracy (from ~60–75% in 1917 to near-universal by 1939), enabling access to ideological materials and fostering a scientifically minded, modern socialist individual.
- Compulsory Universal Schooling — Free, state-controlled education (initially experimental, later structured and disciplined under Stalin) integrated polytechnical training, linking learning to productive labor and erasing distinctions between mental and manual work.
- Ideological Indoctrination — Curricula, textbooks (e.g., Stalin-glorifying history books), and lessons instilled patriotism, class consciousness, atheism, and devotion to the state. Schools promoted "communist morality" and collective over individual values.
- Youth Organizations — Groups like the Young Pioneers (ages 8–14) and Komsomol (14–26) reinforced school efforts through rituals, oaths, activities, and peer pressure, separating children from "bourgeois" family influences to build loyalty to the collective.
Overall, education served as the primary tool for long-term human transformation, combining practical skills with pervasive propaganda to create a unified Soviet identity transcending old class, ethnic, or religious divisions.
