Why did Hitler's minions kill between 12-15 million Russian workers? That's a mighty funny way to unite people.

See above. It's a way a Soviet socialist named Joe Stalin tried as well for that matter.

The Soviets did, after a fashion, adopt socialism. Certainly there was no private ownership. When the Nazis crashed in and advanced almost to Moscow, Stalin adopted more of a defense of the motherland motif and played down the socialist idea.

You know -- nationalism and socialism are opposites.

Yeah, and in doing so they murdered some 20 million of their own people by way of concentration camp, forced famine, and slaughter fields. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were similar to an amazing degree. Joe Goebbels certainly thought so.

Demonstrate it, as you have failed to thus far. Quod gratis asseriture gratis negatur.
