As usual, the Poles place history in proper perspective. The claim that the National Socialist German Workers Party was ever anything other than a Socialist party of the same stripe as the one in Russia is a ridiculous farce, as is the manufactured distinction between "Fascism" and the Socialists of any other party. Indeed, before the collapse of the nonaggression pact, the Russian Socialists admittedly publicly that, "essentially we are brothers."
Of course they were. The later attempt to label the Nazi's as "right-wingers" was just one more propaganda victory by the Soviets. Luckily for humanity, the socialists of both parties lost their wars. What Europe needs is a day to celebrate both victories, and to reflect upon how the European Union is driving them back down the same dead-end road.

"The Foreign Ministry told me that no North Koreans will attend the ceremony," Lee Hae-chan said in comments reported by the South Korean presidential office.
