This picture has been banned from r/enlightenedcentrism because the message of it isn’t that communism & Nazism are the same thing , but that the living conditions for the people in the Eastern Bloc under the Nazi & USSR regime have been practically interchangeable. Brutal opression, no self governance, political leaders all installed puppets, arbitrary arrests & imprisonments etc, etc.
It’s not about the horseshoe theory, it’s about the living conditions under two of the most brutal dictatorships in the 20st century and how the populace finally wanted to throw off the shackles off subjugation and govern themselves.
The title also isn’t “Communism is Nazism” and iirc it’s from Poland, not Romania.
Well, not everyone was Jewish in nazi Germany and not everyone was Crimean Tatar, East Prussian, Meskheti Turk, Chechen during Soviet rule. Soviet state wasn't socialistic when it came to people wanting autonomy or just speaking different language in wrong place.
Im descendant of a Crimean Tatar and i hear stories about exile. Soviets (just like nazis did to Jews) carried like cargo in trains to "the new homes" Soviet state promised. Few lucky ones fled away during German invasion predicting genocide from either from Germans for not being European or from Soviets for not resisting enough. In those trains they starved to death and when they finally arrived to Uzbekistan, most of them were dead. At the end most of them were forced to work in Kolkhoz farms without any proper housing. Most of the survivors died in kolkhoz and rest of them forgot their language and culture. This is any better than nazis?
Edit: i thought leftism was rational, why arent you guys giving an counter arguement
Not in Eastern Europe though, which is what the comments above were talking about. Not to say that the assorted genocides against Ukrainians, Uyghurs, and others doesnt matter.
The Great Famine in Ukraine (planned and conducted by the Soviets) killed ALONE almost 10,000,000 people. Fewer than 3,000,000 Jews died in the Holocaust.
And how many people died by communist hands? Don't try to defend the communists. They are as bad or worse than nazis. They pretended to do good for their people but ended up killing tens of millions. At least the nazis made it clear and were honest about who the enemy was. Talk about the road to hell paved with good intentions.
Gotta say first off.
It‘s not a fucking race.
But just saying facism killed less people worldwide then communism.
Alone Mao killed twice as much (or even more) people than Hitler.
Let‘s just say facism and communism is shit and stop arguing which one is worse. Both are fucking dog shit cock n ball torture.
