    The USA supported the Nazis in the beginning and were reluctant to intervene. Then we did and took all the credit. It was to weaken Russia. Now the world is a global capitalist hellhole. Chynah is capitalist and Russia is capitalist. You are a subject. You are not free. Freedom is relative and bound by natural law. Unions need leverage. Thank gawd all men die.

      It was for a variety of reasons that all aligned when German u-boats sank the lusitania.. Wait that was WW1. I’ve gotta go read some wikipedia.

      LOL ‘help’
      The Soviets killed 85% of the nazi troops.
      The rest was all other countries combined.
      And they would’ve been on the Atlantic in no time without trouble if the allies hadn’t come in to take a piece of the European loot.
      The nazi’s enemy were the communists.
      They didn’t fight as much against the west which gave them all the chances to surrender and escape punishment.

      Consider that Germany was in far more dire straits economically, and Hitler’s approval was crazy high even towards the end of the war (something like 60 or 70%). So the entire time the opposition was outnumbered.

      In comparison, Trump’s approval is around 45%.

        Look up the history. Hitler wasn’t elected by a majority but appointed by an elite and then killed the opposition. There was massive opposition before, including street battles. But that’s also why he got the dictatorial power. Apporoval means nothing if people obey executive orders.

          Could you link some sources for that massive resistance? Wikipedia says there was very little organized resistence for most of his rise to power, and the regime was SO popular amongst the populace, it prevented even anti-nazi’s in the intelligence services from acting on their underground networks.

          What we’re seeing with the current fairly widescale open resistence is far beyond anything that happened in Germany.

      Yeah, the two most prominent examples of fascism in history (Germany and Italy) were only beaten by a combined military power much, much greater than them. Even as they were literally being bombed into rubble and their military situation was beyond hopeless, they never overthrew their fascist leaders.
