I swear democrats who are those psychopaths who, when viewing historical atrocities, consider "Well that failed, but what if we did it??"

Explains their obsession with socialism/communism quite well.

That's why they don't teach real history in the classroom anymore. Any sane person who learns about Stalin would forever hate Communism.

Instead, the focus is on Hitler and kids don't even learn about Stalin

And, as egregious as much of the socialism in the 3rd reich was, the version of Hitler history that is taught makes him out to be some kind of cartoon caricature and does nothing to address why he came to power. Very few have ever even heard of the Soviet Republic of Bavaria.

If a random person on the street were by some small chance to have an answer as to what started ww1, they would undoubtedly offer the Arch Duke's assassination.

This does not mean it is really the cause, however.

History is stranger than fiction.

I am only aware of the Arch Duke version, and that's what I would've answered. (Along with the whole bit about the powder keg that was going on with the gong-show of alliances, a blank check, and all that jazz.)

Yes I remember a history class from high school more than a decade ago.

Same time, I want to hear the other side. I did have a high school history teacher that had his "Three rules of history". I think they were - It's gone (Can't study closely anymore), written by the victor (biased), and doomed to repeat itself (The third rule is the one I don't remember....)

Soviet Republic of Bavaria

I apologize in advance for posting a fagopedia link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_Soviet_Republic

29
bitterbut_true 29 points ago +29 / -0 (edited)

And the leader of this 'Bavarian Soviet Republic' was Ernst Toller.

And he was Jewish.

Lenin and Trotsky were also Jews, who of course started the Russian communist revolution; inspired, of course by Karl Marx, who wrote the 'Communist Manifesto'. Marx was another Jew.

If, as is claimed, Hitler believed 'the Jews' started the First World War via their alleged control of international finance--and then you've got Lenin, Trotsky and Toller in plain sight --its not hard to take the next leap and understand why Hitler, at the time, wrongly labelled 'the Jews' as enemies of the German people.

And while I have your attention:

Some people might believe that the following people--a conga line--and others of their ilk, have been jointly responsible for probably 80% of the SHIT we've witnessed these past 4 years; a co-ordinated conspiracy to destroy Trump and MAGA.

Here's the conga line... Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Feinstein, Rosenstein, Weissmann, Schneiderman, Singer, Soros, Wittes, Sondland, Vindman, Ciaramella, Maher, Midler, Streisand, Yovanovitch, Krugman, Karlan, Zucker, Zuckerberg...

Typical international politics for 1935 :

On the international scene, Pope Pius XI held a special ceremony 18 May in the Holy See, a commemoration was conducted at League of Nations Geneva headquarters, and dozens of messages of condolence arrived in Poland from heads of state across the world, including Germany's Adolf Hitler, the Soviet Union's Joseph Stalin, Italy's Benito Mussolini and King Victor Emmanuel III, France's Albert Lebrun and Pierre-Étienne Flandin, Austria's Wilhelm Miklas, Japan's Emperor Hirohito, and Britain's King George V.

You'd think it strange for Stalin to show up at a religious event - but it's one of those power projection moves.

Professors were targeted by Soviets during the cold war. One of the many useful idiots as well as rich and hollywood brats. Jordan Peterson has talked about the trickle down effect, hit the professors, and get them to train the next generation of teachers. The teachers then train the children in what they want them to learn. Recruit and control those who control the minds of the young... The program outlived the Soviets, but we are dealing with the fruit of their work still...

They were so "socialist" that they had private ownership, free markets (apart from the wartime economy) and fought total war against the communists to the bitter end. Their variant of "socialism" seemed much more populist and "last-minute ideology" (before the Soviet Union again sought to invade and conquer Western Europe for the purpose of continuing their enslavement and genocides upon genocides upon genocides upon genocides there) than any meaningful kind of "socialism". They explicitly denounced "Marxism". And they employed "socialism" as a way to capture the "useful idiots" from actual communists (which was very much in the favour of the "useful idiots", since those "useful idiots" would have been murdered by the communists later).

AtariArtist 12 points ago +14 / -2 (edited)

I see you're unaware of the Strength through Joy campaign. Very socialist. There were other massive social programs that would have made the WPA blush, not to mention the childbirth programs.

They had social programs coming out of their ears.

Seems very populist. And did the workers have to pay for the holidays? "Affordable prices"? And pay in order to purchase the cars (which were then never delivered due to the outbreak of total war, apart from some people that got discounts after the war)? Sold package tours and excursions?

It also seemed like state support to the tourism industry there, or a state-owned tourism company, in part for the purpose of bringing in money.

There is then the indoctrination part as well as "planned leisure time" part among other aspects, though I do not know of reliable sources reg. that. Do you have any reliable sources reg. that aspect?

Check out Television in the Third Reich (1 hour). There's tons of content from the German archives about the programs - specifically promotions for most of the state social programs and initiatives.

Including 'Strength through Joy'.

somethinga9230k -1 points ago +2 / -3

Reg. the video, I must admit I do not quite like that format, looking up sources for the different parts is not easy, and from a(n) (admittedly very superficial) skimming of it it seems to be presented from a certain perspective.

Reg. the archives, promotions do not seem (as least as far as I can figure out) to give deep insight reg. such things, especially indoctrination as well as "planned leisure time". And I don't know which parts of the archives are trustworthy and which are not.

I had an activist teacher in sophomore year of high school. Absolute and total commie. We learned about the ruling class in Russia before Lenin took power. We learned about how evil and rich they were. Learned about Rasputin and all that stuff. As far as I can recall he framed the communist takeover as a force of good.

The problem is that it is worse than that, for their core look upon those genocides upon genocides upon genocides upon genocides committed by communists as successes. Communism was designed and spread intentionally with goals such as enslavement and extermination of their targets, including Europeans and Asians. "Class warfare" was 100% a distraction, manipulation, etc. etc. etc., which can be seen in the tens of millions of poor farmers and workers that were murdered fully intentionally, planned and organized by communists.

The funniest thing is that it didn't work in the end. Pretty much everyone called Yanukovych out for his fraudulent tactics and he's since been overthrown twice (in 2004 and then again 10 years later). The Democrats copying his tactics, with as little modification as a lazy student frantically trying to copy someone else's answers in the last 5 minutes of the test, is like an Internet tankie convincing himself that Stalin did nothing wrong & that if he ever gets power, he should rule the exact same way his idol did...

I've tried to tell everyone I know that this pandemic was just the government trying to see how much power they have over the citizens of the US, but I was always met with statements like "You may be right, but I don't want to get sick" and so on and so forth

Lo and behold, my worst fears came true. Once they knew that most of the country would bend over and take it, they started pushing the mail in ballots, and it's turned into the biggest election disaster this country has ever seen

And of course, the same people that fell for covid-19 are falling for the fraud, and it's all endorsed by the media and almost every mainstream news source. If Trump can get in for a second term, he needs to break up these media companies and social networks, and he needs to address election security. I feel like I'm going insane trying to explain that the future of America is at stake here, but none of these normies want to fucking hear it

The following are examples of the most egregious, widely observed and reported examples of election-day fraud on November 21:

  • Illegal Use of Absentee Ballots: According to the respected NGO "Committee of Voters of Ukraine" (CVU), massive electoral fraud was committed through the illegal use of absentee voter certificates. For example, people were caught in Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy oblasts with their pockets stuffed with blank absentee ballots that they were using to vote at multiple polling stations.

  • Opposition Observers Ejected: Observers from Our Ukraine and other opposition groups were expelled from most polling stations in eastern Ukraine on Election Day. For example, in Territorial Election Commission (TEC) district number 42 in Donetsk oblast, Our Ukraine observers were kicked out of all but a few polling stations.

  • North Korean-Style Turnout in the East: Turnout in the pro-Yanukovych eastern oblasts was unnaturally high. In several electoral districts, turnout for the run-off round increased by 30 to 40 percent over the first round. In Luhansk oblast, the reported turnout rate hit nearly 96 percent -- a number that, to quote the OSCE, even Stalinist North Korea would envy. A similar turnout rate was reported in Donetsk oblast, where 98 percent of the votes went to hometown candidate Prime Minister Yanukovych.

  • Mobile Ballot Box Fraud: In the second round of the election, the number of voters who supposedly cast ballots at home using mobile ballot boxes was double that of the first round. Much of this voting occurred without observers being present and was massively fraudulent. In Mykolayiv oblast, for example, nearly 35 percent of the oblast's voters purportedly cast their ballots "at home."

  • Computer Data Allegedly Altered To Favor Yanukovych: There were credible reports showing that that Yanukovych supporters gained illegal access to the Central Election Commission's computer system and illegally altered vote tabulation data being transmitted by TECs to the CEC.

  • Reports of Opposition Fraud: Yanykovych’s supporters allege that Yushchenko’s supporters stuffed ballot boxes in western Ukraine. But the reports and evidence of pro-Yanukovych fraud greatly outweighed those indicated for Yushchenko.
