Joseph McCarthy did nothing wrong.

And always remember the scale on hatred of Marxism from least hatred (1) to most hatred (5)

1.) Ronald Reagan (Show the marxists why they are wrong)

2.) Joseph McCarthy (Remove the marxists from power and blacklist them so they never work again)

3.) A. Mitchell Palmer (Arrest marxists and exile them to a communist country)

4.) Augusto Pinochet (Kill the marxists)

5.) Francisco Franco (Kill the marxists and their sympathizers)

No, to Hitler being Jewish and being a Communist were one and the same. To him calling someone a Jew is synonymous with calling someone a communist. To me this is wrong, there are plenty of nationalist and conservative Jews. You may not like Ben Shapiro but one thing you can definitely say about him is that he is anti-communist. But to Hitler it wouldn’t have mattered. He even targeted Jewish WWI veterans who fought and bled for Germany in the trenches. Hitler was not based, Hitler was extremist.

With that said I think it is safe to say Hitler hated communism more than Franco. The fact that he started a Second World War just to eradicate the Soviet Union and attempted to eradicate an entire race of people just because a disproportionate amount of communists were of that race proves it.

But to me this is not something to praise. To me this is something to condemn.

He may have hated communists but that doesn’t redeem him in my eyes.

Even if what you said was true, it doesn’t change the fact that he IS anti-Marxists.

He has constantly called that ideology a failure, and has been consistent in that regard.

Therefore it disproves Hitler’s belief that ALL Jews were Marxists wrong.

The fact that he started a Second World War

That is false, it was England and France that declared war on Germany.

attempted to eradicate an entire race of people

Attempted to exile them at first, then the war started and he put them in camps for free labor.

him calling someone a Jew is synonymous with calling someone a communist. To me this is wrong, there are plenty of nationalist and conservative Jews.

It's a bit more than that. In his mind Jews were not just communists; they were a clear and distinct interest group, they were like a parallel society within the German society, with their religion, language, culture, and especially unity. And a religion that tells them that they are superior to everyone else by the way, which explains why many people are callous towards Jews.

No Hitler did start the war, he outright invaded Poland even after telling Britain and France that he wouldn’t.

France & Britain even told him upfront that invading Poland would result in war. They in effect created an alliance with Poland, an alliance that dragged the 2 nations into war with Germany. If Hitler hadn’t invaded Poland, there would have been no war.

Hitler was not based, Hitler was extremist.

You have to understand just how close the communists were to taking over Germany, both through German communists and the plans for Soviet invasion of Europe.

Finding a non-communist Jew back then was much harder than finding a Black Republican today. (This includes my own ancestors. Three of my grandparents were Russian-Jewish Bolsheviks.) FDR didn't make political distinctions when he threw all Japanese Americans into camps - the only difference is population proportions and Germany starving as it lost the war...
