I don't think anyone points at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system. They were literally fascist lol
I've seen many idiots do that unfortunately
Both Crowder and Shapiro have claimed this. They point out that the Nazi party was the 'National Socialist German workers' party' and claim that's enough for it to be socialist, and then also claim Russia is a communist country.
Crowder and Shapiro are complete idiots.
Idiots? On the right? Arguing in bad faith? You don't say...
The USSR was a communist country. A normal use of that term is that a country communist is one that's run by a communist party.
If you mean it didn't achieve communism, well duh communism is a hypothesized society achieved through socialism where the state ceases to exist. No socialists, including the people of the USSR, would think that their nation-state has achieved communism as that's oxymoronic. They would think of it as a transitional socialist state.
There are definitely some folks that see “National Socialism” as the party name and look no further. Fortunately, I don’t think it’s a strong majority, but they pop up online.
Reminder that there's a bird called titmouse
Oof I feel concerned about those people.
I guess it's similar to "an" caps.
The Intersection is indeed a very high degree.
It would be funny if there weren't people suffering and dying because of it
Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.
