*OT* You miss the whole point about the fundamental kinship between the Soviet and Nazi varieties of collectivism.

I know your not particularly concerned about the fact that the Soviet criminals were responsible for terrible crimes against Soviet Jews and millions of other innocent people.

I know your not particularly concerned about the system of more than 2,000 labor camps, extermination camps, and psychological prisons that existed in the Soviet Union.

You inevitably miss the most crucial point by focusing exclusively on private attitudes, rather than the role of the Socialist state, in crimes against Humanity. The crimes committed by Hitler and his co-conspirators were committed through a Totalitarian collectivist state. Hitler's actions could not have resulted in wholesale mass murder without the cooperation of government. It was the seizure of the German state by the National Socialist German Workers Party — a left-wing, revolutionary movement that incubated in the gutters of Bohemia before infecting Germany — and the consolidation of centralized power that made possible the mass murder of Jews and other innocent victims. Furthermore, it was the collaboration of Hitler’s left-wing National Socialist government with Stalin’s left-wing Soviet government that precipitated World War II and brought inconceivable suffering to tens of millions — including the Germans themselves.

My statement wasn't rash. It was accurate:

Communism is a criminal system. It steals money from individuals who know how to compete successfully and distributes it to the slimeballs who run the state like Fascists and Nazis!
