Enlightening that those who popped up to defend Joseph Stalin are the same drones who regularly defend, apologize for, and excuse Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama.
It's only fair that I provide them an opportunity to defend Stalin's blood-brother, Herr Schicklgruber.
Communism was not the only spawn of Karl Marx's doctrine. So was Germany's version, Nazism.
6. “Nazism was the product of German culture, grown out of a German context. The Holocaust could not have occurred in Italy, because Italians are not Germans. And in America, where hostility to big government is central to the national character, the case for statism must be made in terms of 'pragmatism' and decency. In other words, our fascism must be nice and for your own good.
.... fascism, communism, and progressivism are all closely related to one another. The progressive U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was a devoted disciple of the German philosopher Georg Hegel, whose ideas -also had a profound influence on Karl Marx.
Mussolini, for his part, carried with him a medallion of Marx.
Progressives commonly saw Mussolini’s project and Lenin’s as linked enterprises. The progressive muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens referred to the “Russian-Italian” method as if the two were flip sides of the same coin. Steffens and his fellow progressives generally saw Mussolini, Lenin, and Stalin as three men pursuing a similar objective...
American progressives, for the most part, did not disavow fascism until the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust became manifest during World War II. After the war, those progressives who had praised Mussolini and Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s had no choice but to dissociate themselves from fascism. “Accordingly,” writes Jonah Goldberg, “leftist intellectuals redefined fascism as 'right-wing' and projected their own sins onto conservatives, even as they continued to borrow heavily from fascist and pre-fascist thought.” This progressive campaign to recast fascism as the "right-wing" antithesis of communism was aided by Joseph Stalin, ...."

She tells this lie about once a week now.
As Hitler himself said:
"Only a knowledge of the Jews provides the key with which to comprehend the inner, and consequently real, aims of Social Democracy.
The erroneous conceptions of the aim and meaning of this party fall from our eyes like veils, once we come to know this people, and from the fog and mist of social phrases rises the leering grimace of Marxism."
Just like PoliticalChic, EXACTLY like PoliticalChic, Hitler drew no distinction between Democratic Socialism and Marxism.
How many times have we heard her make that proclamation in one form or another?
lol, the only difference is PC knows enough to leave out the Jew part in her rants, whatever her true sentiments on that aspect of her views on Marxism might be.
Psssstt....very much like you, Hitler was a liar.
1. ".... Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And ... socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.
2. ... the word "Nazi" was an abbreviation for "der NationalsozialistischeDeutsche Arbeiters Partei — in English translation: the NationalSocialistGerman Workers' Party ... what should one expect the economic system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist" in its name to be but socialism?"
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
Hitler lied about hating the Jews and hating democracy?
lol, that's your best one yet.
Let me show you why your pal Jonah Goldberg thinks you're an idiot.
Communism is a branch of socialism (And so are National Socialism and Fascism).
And I would love it if more people recognized that the great murderous regimes of the 20th century all did their killing in the name of one flavor or another of socialism.
But social democracy is also a branch of socialism and it is simply unfair not to draw meaningful distinctions. Tony Blair calls himself a socialist as have pretty much all members of the British Labor Party going back a hundred years.
But they are not all Stalinists.
