"First they came for the communists, but I did not speak out because I was not a communist"

Hitler was the literal opposite of a communist. He came for the communists before he came for the Jews.

Lol, Hitler literally got his start telling his gangs to go beat the shit out of communists.

Revisionist history much?

Hitler's mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf. During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in "fighting Marxism".[138]Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf:

In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.[139]

Trump, as an avid reader of Mein Kampf, will no doubt set them straight!

Everyone with half a brain agrees Musk and the far right German leader are wankers.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago

Hey! Whoa! That's NOT true!

I lost my whole mind, and I STILL agree! It's so obvious, even an idiot like me can see.

Fuck, someone should have let Hitler know before Leningrad. Could have saved a lot of time, energy, cost, lives, etc.

He and Stalin could have been frens.

Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality; socialism without redistribution is a tyrant trying to trick you

Thank you, this was the information I was looking for. I knew that the Nazi party was named as such but didn't understand the implications.

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 52 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Wasn't one of the first groups that Hitler went after when he gained power were the communists? I'm pretty sure I remember that communists were sent to concentration camps along with Jews, disabled people, and LGBT.

[–] kuato@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, first they came for the communists. Martin Niemöller’s poem poem didn’t come from nowhere.

The “Comintern” in the “Anti-Comintern Pact” is short for “Communist International.” The Axis powers were anti-communist, as fascists always are.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 17 points 5 days ago

It's not only that they sent communists to concetration camps, they opened the camps in the first place in order to have a place where to put them all

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 49 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Just because the Nazis called themselves the "national socialist party" did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

North Korea calls itself "The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea" even though is not the People's, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It's a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it's something it isn't.

When you're further right than Hitler but whine that people call you a Nazi....

Yeah, we’ve known Musk is an utter moron for years now. He doesn’t need to keep proving it.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Those people are so dumb that they're turning against their own idols. Next thing you know they're gonna be saying Mussolini was never involved in WWII nor right leaning because of how much of a disgrace he was. Can't have people who failed at being a terroristic right wing dictator in their revisionist history books.

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They are not dumb, just evil.

Weidel is a lesbian living in swiss with her Thai wife and 2 adopted children.

In Germany she wants to prohibit gay marriage or any other form of family other than nuclear and hates migrants.

I have no idea who pays her but this is a level of cognitive dissonance only explainable with hardcore corruption.

2 nazis trying to rewrite history

So this is what it feels like to live in bizarro world.

So that whole schism between Russia and Germany had nothing to do with ideology. Now I understand. /s

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 27 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nothing to do at all! Since Hitler was a communist and the USSR were nazis. Which are bad, of course. Unlike my good AfD friend who is not a nazi of course, but is a nazi, in a good way I mean. But not a communist nazi. A nazi-nazi, but again we can't say that but it's good.

Anyway words have no meaning whatsoever.
