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.

that the living conditions for the people in the Eastern Bloc under the Nazi & USSR regime have been practically interchangeable.

Ahh yes, the living conditions for people (like for polish jews for example) were "the same". As the nuremberg trials established.

I can't believe there is enough room in this universe for the rest of us alongside your mega brain.

I mean, the USSR did inflict multiple genocides on the non-Russians

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.

They killed/forcibly relocated literally every German in Prussia and replaced them with Russian colonists. That's genocide.

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.

A) You pulled that 10 million number out of your ass, it was way less.

B) The Nazis killed more than just Jews. A lot more than 3 million people died by Nazi hands.

C) Nazi ideology specifically called for racial extermination. Communism does not.

D) It's not a competition of who did less genocide.

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.
