  • Am I bringing another country into it? I think if you want the US to be the Nazis here, then I think what you want to argue that it’s like this brings up the Nazis invading Poland, and I mention Poland. But it’s not really. It’s like if you brought up polish war crimes against germany(theoretical, I’ll acknowledge unlike those the US war crimes are real) and I said Germany started it, now you want to know why I brought up Germany.

    Edit: still not a great analogy. I hate analogies. More like saying WW2 was just US war crimes on Germany, I mention Germany started it by invading another Germany (because it’s not really WW2), and you ask why I bring up Germany.

    I completely agree with what you said about Hitler. In fact, even worse. His stealing of the word socialism for his own purposes did major damage to the concept people had of socialism. Calling a system that exploits workers and laborers socialism, when the whole idea was to put the workers in charge, damages the idea in people’s minds.

    I mean the target of one’s fascism is not the same fascism. It’s one that is arbitrarily less “correct”. For example the Slovenian fascists turned on the Germans, and the Germans turned on Vichy as soon as it suited them. My point was being “antagonistic” to fascist groups doesn’t mean you “cannot” be one. It is correct they did turn on their leftmost group after they’d served there purpose. They still (wrongly) called themselves socialist afterwards though. I wonder if anyone else could have done that.
