Marx-derived philosophies have been longer, killed a magnitude more, has yet to be eradicated due to sympathetic academics who continue to obfuscate the realities of their shit ideology

    There is so much to unpack here that I can’t possibly deliver an adequate response in a reasonable length, but I’ll give it my best shot.

    Nazism only existed for a short period, largely in one country.

    First of all, notice how the poster limits the focus to specifically German Fascism rather than capitalism or anticommunism in general. Second, with countries like Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Lativa, Lithuania, Northern Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, the Netherlands—and probably others that I’ve forgotten to mention—all being controlled by German Fascism, I’d hesitate to say that the phenomenon was restricted ‘largely in one country’.

    Marx-derived philosophies have […] killed a magnitude more,

    Really?

    has yet to be eradicated due to sympathetic academics who continue to obfuscate the realities of their shit ideology

    ‘I’m not saying capitalism is perfect, but there’s no way it could ever possibly frustrate anybody towards communism. Not in a million years. That would make absolutely no sense.’

    After WW2 we put the Nazis on trial, and gave the Communists jobs in our universities.

    This is when I laughed out loud. Yes, they gave some high‐ranking Reich officials trials, but that’s about it. The CIA intentionally hired thousands of former Axis officials or collaborators, the West German government did similar, and the Western Allies practically made a mockery out of the trials with how many Axis officials or collaborators they were pardoning. Why? Because the people’s republics became top priority again now that the Fascists officially failed to finish the job. The book Blowback is but one of many sources affirming this, and I’ll be posting more later.

    Hitler: I am greatly inspired by American segregation, and the way their government works, it’s a great example of how the world should be. So I’ve baked that directly into National Socialism.

    Western post-war politicians and industry leaders: yeah so, let’s put the Nazis who held political positions in jail and give the worst ones a death sentence. But let’s hire all of the scientists and engineers, and give them cush positions in our industries.

    people like this: I haven’t really researched the post-war period very much, but i’m going to act like an authority on the matter because the internet makes that easy.

    Funny cause really the opposite happened. Communists were put on trial during mcarthyism and the nazi academics were recruited during operation paperclip
