One of the very first groups the Nazis went after was the Communists, so I'm sure they'd approve of this bit of propaganda. Now just find a way to say that Nazism is a Jewish tradition and you'll REALLY make Goebbels' spirit happy.

Way TOO DEEP for Glitter Girl Kingfish. Can't you dump the content down a bit for her?

Are you serious? Because they made the communists their enemy you think they weren't their ideological brethren? Ever noticed how the WORST fights are betweeen different sects of the same faith or ideology? Shias & Sunni's ring a bell? Or Wahaabism's war against the rest of Islam? Or the war between Lenin and Trotsky?

1. Did you not see the NY Times article where Hitler praises the Communists? Do you actually know what Nazi stands for? National Socialism. Not National Capitalism or National Fascism, but national socialism. That means they are on the same side ideologically as the communists, they just use different methods to achieve the same results, state ownership of everything as well as state control. Hitler saw them as ideological competitors and moved ruthlessly to liquidate them.

Hayek wrote in The Road to Serfdom "The connection between socialism and nationalism was close in Germany from the beginning. It is significant that the ancestors of national socialism are at the same time acknowledged fathers of socialism. ... From 1914 onward there arose from the ranks of Marxist socialism one teacher after another who led (...) hard working laborer and hard-working youth into the National Socialist fold. (chapter 12, The Socialist roots of Naziism)

2. As for your stupid assertion that this was just propoganda, do you even know how the Germans got around the Versailles treaty restrictions?

They sent their troops and air force to Russia to train. Thats right. The Communists LET the Nazis train in the Soviet Union where the Western powers could not monitor their activities and troop levels. It was in the Soviet Union that the wermacht and luftwaffe trained incessantly in violation of Versailles.

In fact, you ARE aware that until Operation Barbarossa, the German Nazis and Soviet Communists were allies right? They even split up Poland. Until Stalin was snookered by Hitler, he was more than willing to help the Nazis and inflict their terror on the West.

Propoganda? please.

By that logic, the United States and North Korea are on the same side ideologically because both describe themselves as democratic republics.

As the average eastern european in Soviet bloc if his life was any different than under Nazi Germany.

The problem with your little comment is that we are talking about Hitler, who was pretty explicit in his statements about his ideology and goals. If he called himself a socialist with a nationalist bent to it, then he meant it. The origins of Nazism were Marxist in origin with the same results for the population.

Once again, you confuse sophistry with logic.
