    “First they came for the communists, but I did not speak out because I was not a communist”

    Hitler was the literal opposite of a communist. He came for the communists before he came for the Jews.

    Lol, Hitler literally got his start telling his gangs to go beat the shit out of communists.

    Revisionist history much?

    Hitler’s mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf. During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in “fighting Marxism”.[138]Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf:

    In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.[139]

      Yeah, I remember watching Elon personally shooting fire Jewish babies to death yesterday and curb stomping a few more…

      Oh wait, that didn’t happen and FFS dude, stop with the hyperbolic nonsense. Elon musk is the scum of the earth but he is by far still not further right than Hitler. He very well may become, but for the moment he’s not.

        Following through and holding beliefs have very little to do with each other. There’s a reason you can’t find pictures of musk and Zuckerberg being friendly to each other.

        Same thing that happened with Biden on here with people accusing him of literal genocide as if he flew over there and shot people with his own hands. Some Lemmings are quite dramatic.

        Also, where did all the “genocide Joe” comments go after November? I haven’t seen a single one.

          So Hitler was also innocent of genocide since he didn’t personally murder any Jews?

            Well, Hitler was the one giving the orders. But the Israeli genocide is being directed by Netanhyahu and his cabinet. I don’t mean that Biden isn’t complicit because that is different.

          Are you suggesting Hitler manned the gas chambers himself? As far as direct murder goes, Hitler probably never killed a socialist, Roma, Jew or homosexual. The policies under his leadership resulted in the mass extermination of millions. That’s why we charge him with genocides. Likewise, Joe Biden’s policies enabled and continue to enable a preventable genocide.

          Because you stay on . world, whose admins and mods consistently and repeatedly ban anyone that’s Against the US Democrat party or suggest there are any flaws with them.

          Joe Biden’s legacy will be suppressing the working class and genocide.

            You don’t need to assume that I don’t subscribe to other instances or have other accounts. I subscribe to a lot of your instance’s communities, for example.

            Joe Biden’s legacy will be suppressing the working class and genocide.

            No doubt, given that he has barely lifted a finger for the working class who deserve better but I didn’t mean anything related to that.

    Those people are so dumb that they’re turning against their own idols. Next thing you know they’re gonna be saying Mussolini was never involved in WWII nor right leaning because of how much of a disgrace he was. Can’t have people who failed at being a terroristic right wing dictator in their revisionist history books.

      They are not dumb, just evil.

      Weidel is a lesbian living in swiss with her Thai wife and 2 adopted children.

      In Germany she wants to prohibit gay marriage or any other form of family other than nuclear and hates migrants.

      I have no idea who pays her but this is a level of cognitive dissonance only explainable with hardcore corruption.

    Even more than ethnic supremacy/hatred, nazi ideology is anti-communist first. The intersection with Jews at the time was that European communist leaders were Jews, and the communist party was leading opposition party before Reichstag fire provided the opportunity to ban them. Jews tended to not vote for nazi party.

    In anti-communist/right wing rulership systems, the government helps business be richer and more powerful. This was definitely the system/dynamic under Hitler, and US imprisoned many German business leaders for a short time after the war until their own anti-communist ideology was aligned with their values.

      Not at all. The Nazi party was formed specifically to combat the rising KPD and the unions, and to facilitate privitization and protect the interests of Capitalists. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.

        The word Nazi, meaning “a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party,” is short for the German term for National Socialist (Nationalsozialist).

        but also

        Although the word socialist appears in the party title for Nazism, the Nazi ideology doesn’t have much to do with far-left traditional socialism. Hitler’s definition of National Socialism, a platform that serves one’s country only, is closer to far-right fascism and authoritarianism on the ideological spectrum.

        so although your understanding is correct, colloquially I am also correct. besides it was a joke.
