Tomorrow - International Holocaust Remembrance Day

[Busher]

Absolutely.. Hitler Stalin Mao, all fit that descrition, others too..
What did they all have in common??? A Socialist system...

Quite shocked really that you can't see that parallel to any other world leaders.

You might want to consider reading up on the Dunning Kruger Effect.

Yes please just go away.

I first heard this interview a couple years back and found it memorable - both for the horror this man went through as a boy, and how quick-witted he was.

Thank you for sharing this.

If you want something to read about the Holocaust I recommend the memoir "If This Is A Man" by Primo Levi an Italian who was sent to Auschwitz and survived. You can listen to a live reading of it: https://soundcloud.com/southbankcentre/sets/primo-levi-if-this-is-a-man-live-reading-in-royal-festival-hall It is extremely sober and matter of fact and awful.

NSDAP = NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN WORKERS PARTY..
Workers of the world Unite!

The Nazi Party followed by a Marx quote, now that is interesting.

Well, in 1919, Hitler was part of the Socialist soldiers council in his Demobilization camp..
When Hitler selected the Red Banner to put the Swastika on, it was intentional.. He knew perfectly well that the Red Banner is the universal symbol of Socialist Revolution.. He chose the name, "National Socialist" Himself, because the Nazis were a Socialist Party of the Left.. As opposed to the Communist party, which were INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS, who's leaders were all Comintern agents being run out of Moscow.. No way any German nationalist would tolerate that, politically socialist or not.. There were many German Parties on the "Right", but the Nazis weren't one of them..

Communists and Nazi, are Socialist Kissin Sisters, born from the same Marxist Mother..
But those facts don't fit the narrative of the false left/right paradigm..
Without that false paradigm, the left can't label anyone they don't like, Nazi Nazi Nazi..

I wonder if the Socialist Democracies of the world

◾Denmark
◾Finland
◾Netherlands
◾Canada
◾Sweden
◾Norway
◾Ireland
◾New Zealand
◾Belgium

are aware of just how evil they are (based on your clear expertise).

Since you insist on keeping this Holocaust Remembrance thread all about your mistaken viewpoint about what is and isn't socialism, here's a source you might want to use to learn better:

https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists

(Granted, it's been presented to you before.)

And some more, if you can read it all with a stiff upper lip:

https://www.abc.net.au/religion/nazism-socialism-and-the-falsification-of-history/10214302

But you can go on and keep believing Glenn Beck and the nationalreview.com and keep inserting your political views in threads like this one and insist that you were right for doing so ... mainly because ... well ... that's you.

This thread looks doomed.

Again, not what Holocaust Remembrance is about. Rationalize your agenda all you want.

Just ignore him. He clearly does not understand why what he is posting is inappropriate. It does not help to try to argue.

A good movie that I think evokes the absurdity of the Holocaust is "The Pianist." It was directed by Roman Polanski who it seems legitimate to despise as a man however his talent as a film director is in some sense god given and doesn't belong to him. Schindlers List, not so much as a movie; maybe for people who don't know anything about the holocaust it is revelatory but for me it was too Spielbergian.

I doff my hat, and remember, 150million people dead from Socialism..
That includes the 6+ million Jews murdered by the German National Socialists..
