There is no way that Nazis could have not gone to war. Certainly there was. If European nations had disarmed Germany in accordance with the treaty they signed, there would have been no war. There is no way that Communism and Capitalism can coexist. Uh, where were you during the 50s and 60s and 70s and 80s? Did you see any war between Russia and the US? Cold war isn't war. Do you see any war between China and the US right now? Or North Korea and the US? Sabre rattling, of course. But those government are not compelled to go to war by their ideologies. I don't think there is anything in the Communist Manifesto that says it is an obligation of communist governments to go to war. Rather, what I read there is that communism will triumph over capitalism not by war but by the inherent superiority of its system of economic progress. That the people will revolt internally to transform capitalist countries into communist countries. Of course, it didn't quite work out that way. <g>
