I mean the big ones people like to point at (Rushia and fucking Nazi Germany) sure as shit weren't doing communism or socialism
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
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.
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
Reminder that there's a bird called titmouse
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's a Hitler quote somewhere, in some letter that was like "we laugh at the fools who think our ideology has anything to do with the socialism of the bolsheviks"
There was another one where he says "I didn't want to kill the Jews, but they're all communists"
Someone with a better ability to keep track of sources than me probably knows where to find them
Correct. They are both idiots who pointed at Nazi Germany as an example of a leftist system.
Nazi Germany wasn't left and the USSR, which included more than Russia, was a transitional socialist country lol.
Not sure if alternative spelling or if your autocorrect really likes controversial vtuber Uruha Rushia.
Ah shit. Guess you can tell what kinda stuff I like watching
