‘Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024
‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970
there was some degree of assistance from the Allies
Worth noting is that corporate America could have been an Axis power with the sheer amount of crap that it marketed to Europe’s Fascist empires. About $475 million worth of crap (without adjusting for inflation). Likewise, the British Empire was the chief source of many of the Third Reich’s imported raw materials back in the 1930s, during which a Canadian business supplied almost the entire nickel market for it, too.
Are you saying that this situation is similar to the Axis occupations of France, Greece, and Yugoslavia?
There is plenty of evidence that China is exterminating millions of Uyghurs right now. It’s indisputable that it’s happening. If you need proof, I am ready to give you as many sources as you can handle. All that you have to do is ask.
But first, I’m going to need you to solve this CAPTCHA to make sure that you are human:
You forgot to mention that the Finnish ruling class tolerated Fascist propaganda, tolerated antisemitic propaganda, was happy to market nickel to the Third Reich, interned 24,000 ethnic Russians in concentration camps, let 4,200 of them die, collaborated with the Empire of Japan, allowed the Axis to use its military sites even before redeclaring war on the USSR, deported more than 2.8k POWs (including many Jews) to the Third Reich, let some of its men massacre Jews, sought a Greater Finland, and has cemeteries for Axis soldiers.
Anticommunists will tell you with a straight face that absolutely none of this is even remotely the perpetrators’ fault. In fact, it’s yours; you declared war on Finland back in ’39 (because you had nothing better to do).
Upvoting this just because it made me laugh.
Read Blackshirts and Reds.
Yeah, good luck convincing one anticommunist to read any of Michael Parenti’s books. You’ll have an easier time pulling teeth.
With such a straightforward definition of ‘totalitarianism’, one could argue that Imperial America is totalitarian.
We can find much evidence for the dictatorship of the proletariat in the U.S.S.R., as
The [Kremlin] regularly urged its people to criticize local conditions and their leaders, at least below a certain exalted level. For example, in March 1937 Stalin emphasized the importance of the party’s ‘ties to the masses’. To maintain them, it was necessary ‘to listen carefully to the voice of the masses, to the voice of rank and file members of the party, to the voice of the so-called “little people”, to the voice of ordinary folk [narod]’.¹⁷ The party newspaper Pravda went so far as to identify lack of criticism with enemies of the people: ‘Only an enemy is interested in seeing that we, the Bolsheviks […] do not notice actual reality […] Only an enemy […] strives to put the rose-coloured glasses of self-satisfaction over the eyes of our people.’¹⁸
Umm… millions of Afrasians lived under Fascism, something that began in the 1920s. With all due respect to the Italian lower classes, their suffering differed in significant ways from that of their Libyan and Somali counterparts.
Oh. I never thought about that before. That is a good point. I wish that I were as smart as you.
Thalmann and the communists were going with accelerationism and straight up wanted Hitler to win, so they blocked every coalition they could.
That’s… not how the situation unfolded.
To further understand the position taken by the KPD against the SPD, Ernst Thälmann’s 1932 speech “The SPD and NSDAP are Twins” reveals how the KPD leadership envisioned its struggle against fascism in all forms. Thälmann’s incendiary speech declared that “joint negotiations between the KPD and the SPD… there are none! There will be none!”¹³
This was not to say that the KPD did not recognize the [Fascist] threat, as Thälmann articulated that “KPD strategy directs the main blow against social democracy, without thereby weakening the struggle against […] fascism; [KPD] strategy creates the very preconditions of an effective opposition to […] fascism precisely in its direction of the main blow against social democracy.”¹⁴
It is imperative to recognize, though, that the KPD only advocated the blow against the SPD leadership. As Thälmann argued, The KPD’s policy envisioned, the creation of a “revolutionary United Front policy… [that mobilized the masses from below through] the systematic, patient and comradely persuasion of the Social Democratic, Christian and even National Socialist workers to forsake their traitorous leaders.”¹⁵
Anticommunists have extermination nailed down to a science.
Chile, the Eastern Front, Guatemala, Indonesia, Korea, Mozambique, Vietnam, & alibi. Good luck trying to find one anticommunist with the slightest concern in any of the destruction that his movement caused, though. If you have seen how Herzlians react to the IOF massacring Palestinians (even young ones), you already know what responses to expect to that incomplete compilation.
As far as I know, capital, the law of value, and generalized commodity remain phenomenal in the PRC. Their prevalence does seem to be diminishing, though, which is one reason why I think that equating the PRC with something like Imperial America is wrong.
I think that he is only pretending to be one. Blockheads don’t become billionaires.
I actually agree that the PRC is still presocialist but at least I didn’t spit out your useless ‘lol fuk u’ reply.
My appreciation for the Jewish community is what inspires me to carry out this work.
