Historically speaking, the Nazis literally first built the camps to put Marxists in.
ah yes, the holocaust was checks notes started to persecute commies
mods, can we get a ban for him being a right-wing nutjob?
Never thought I'd find myself quoting Marxist apologia, but read Blackshirts and Reds😪
The Holocaust started with elimination of political opponents, namely the communists.
Martin Niemoller
Why do you think the Nazis came to power originally? They were effective killers of Communists in a Germany that was legitimately on the cusp of Communist revolution. Jewish peoples were of course among the highest in gross quantity of victims, and the main focus, but they also used that rhetoric to attack "judeo-bolshevism." The poem goes "first they came for the Communists," because the Communists were the most active anti-fascists and the largest threat to the Nazis.
Nazi Germany persecuted a wide variety of people. While the Holocaust specifically refers to the atrocities committed against the Jews, there were up to 5 million more Slavs, Roma, LGBT, disabled, communists, and political disadents of any kind who were killed.
Particularly leading up to the Nazis sizing power, much of their initial rhetoric was absolutely targeted at Jews, but much of their initial action was targeted at communists, since they were political rivals.
Yes, in fact.
You heard it here first, folks. The real victims were the tankies.
Oh come on. You know that's not the argument they made...
Yes?? Jesus Christ, learn history, this is indisputable.
Which history? I'm actually curious, I need to know what Kremlin approved literature I should be reading to get the "real" history.
I already linked you Wikipedia, but I guess that's controlled by the Kremlin. How about the Holocaust Encyclopedia, is that controlled by the Kremlin too?
You are objectively wrong about this and if you ask literally any historian, regardless of their political views, they will tell you so. I can hunt down more sources for you if you like, but I have a feeling you've dug in your heels enough that it literally doesn't matter who or what I cite.
Go for it, in fact, could you spend a few hours putting together a list of sources? I want to be extra informed.
So you have zero response to Holocaust Encyclopedia telling you you're dead wrong? You're just going to completely refuse to acknowledge it, huh?
Thought so.
It's quite clear they're sealioning
Is Wikipedia "Kremlin approved literature"?
I didn’t ask who was put in the camps first, I asked him who the real victims of WW2 were. The soviets made the decision to cut up Europe and work with the Nazis. They only stopped when the Nazis turned on them. I don’t care about any bullshit excuses about how it was the “best option”, or whatever tankie collaborator line is popular these days. They did it because it benefited them and they were greedy for power and control. It’s lucky for the rest of the world that authoritarians don’t like sharing power, or the war would have ended a lot differently.
You collaborate with Nazis, you deserve the wall. The soviets weren’t victims, and they got what they deserved. Every single one of those 27 million.
You literally did the opposite lmao. I quote, "ah yes, the holocaust was checks notes started to persecute commies." Nowhere did you ask me "who the real victims of WW2 were." You also responded to my comment that said "Historically speaking, the Nazis literally first built the camps to put Marxists in" to challenge the claim.
I'm glad to see that you've realized that you were completely fucking wrong, but now instead of owning up to it you're just trying to backtrack and lie about what was said in order to save face.
So we've gone from denying that the Nazis putting communists in concentration camps to outright praising them for the killings.
Of course, many of the people who died were innocent civilians who were brutally massacred by the Nazis solely for being "racially inferior." And the agreement regarding the division of Eastern Europe was secret at the time, so the soldiers fighting had no knowledge of any collaboration.
So, like, at this point we can all see that this guy's a Nazi, right? He literally started with Holocaust denialism and is now praising the Nazi's mass extermination of civilians.
But you did.
That's not a question. For fucks sake, why am I arguing with people who can't comprehend English? I'm adding the whole of lemmy.ml to the block list, you guys are nearly as bad as Hexbear for being able to string together a thought.
You're right, you didn't ask, you just asserted that it was false. You get how that's worse, right?
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
