Yeah, we’ve known Musk is an utter moron for years now. He doesn’t need to keep proving it.

"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]

Trump, as an avid reader of Mein Kampf, will no doubt set them straight!

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.

Thank you, this was the information I was looking for. I knew that the Nazi party was named as such but didn't understand the implications.

Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality; socialism without redistribution is a tyrant trying to trick you

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.

Hitler killed communists

Hitler killed Hitler

Therefore, Hitler = communists

Checkmate, liberals 😎

Everyone with half a brain agrees Musk and the far right German leader are wankers.

Wasn't one of the first groups that Hitler went after when he gained power were the communists? I'm pretty sure I remember that communists were sent to concentration camps along with Jews, disabled people, and LGBT.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just because the Nazis called themselves the "national socialist party" did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

North Korea calls itself "The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea" even though is not the People's, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It's a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it's something it isn't.

Fuck, someone should have let Hitler know before Leningrad. Could have saved a lot of time, energy, cost, lives, etc.

He and Stalin could have been frens.

Tbh they had the ribbentrop pact, but with friends like Hitler who needs enemies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Your comment has been downvoted three times as I write this even though the pact between the Soviet Union and the Third Reich you refer to did exist. That's an impressive word-to-tankie-anger ratio you managed there. Good job!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yep, tankies will probably disagree when someone claims the country that invaded the USSR was a 'friend' due to a diplomatic treaty of non-aggression. The USSR had already tried making pacts with the UK and France first, which were rejected, as referenced in the second paragraph in the link you gave:

The treaty was the culmination of negotiations around the 1938–1939 deal discussions, after tripartite discussions with the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and France had broken down

As pointed out in the Munich Conference section:

The Soviet leadership believed that the West wanted to encourage German aggression in the East and to stay neutral in a war initiated by Germany in the hope that Germany and the Soviet Union would wear each other out and put an end to both regimes.

Obviously the USSR didn't want to be friends with the most anti-communist regime in the continent who invented terms like 'Judeo-Bolshevik'. So tankies will consider it either ignorant or bad faith to bring up the Ribbentrop Pact to pretend it was anything more than realpolitik compromise resulting from the Western powers wanting the two countries to destroy each other. The alternative was being invaded sooner, which we know in hindsight was a real threat.
