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]

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.

Is that German Leader an artist or USSA citizen?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

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

That musk tweet claiming he is a socialist is just nauseating

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 28 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Hitler killed communists

Hitler killed Hitler

Therefore, Hitler = communists

Checkmate, liberals 😎

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

You know what... that math checks out. Approved!

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 35 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 9 points 16 hours ago

It's not only that they sent communists to concetration camps, they opened the camps in the first place in order to have a place where to put them all

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 39 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours 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.

2 nazis trying to rewrite history

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.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

This is very true.

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 35 points 23 hours ago

Hey! Whoa! That's NOT true!

I lost my whole mind, and I STILL agree! It's so obvious, even an idiot like me can see.

The current reality timeline I am living in is a mf comedyshow.

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

It's because the idiots ran up on stage, built a wall out of their own shit, and started screaming into the mic. And they get away with it because they own the venue and locked the doors, all the while thinking people love them for it.

So this is what it feels like to live in bizarro world.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So that whole schism between Russia and Germany had nothing to do with ideology. Now I understand. /s

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing to do at all! Since Hitler was a communist and the USSR were nazis. Which are bad, of course. Unlike my good AfD friend who is not a nazi of course, but is a nazi, in a good way I mean. But not a communist nazi. A nazi-nazi, but again we can't say that but it's good.

Anyway words have no meaning whatsoever.

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A nazi-nazi, but not a Soviet nazi-nazi?

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 7 points 18 hours ago

Yes you get it, my good Sturmstaffel friend (as a joke of course, not the evil kind, the funny kind that killed Jews, but for the lols).

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

Yes, and everyone else agrees

That they're both morons
