Mate....
No really. I'm aware of what's going on right now in the us. Did no one back then see what was happening then either?
What have you read?
Dunno. Trying to make sense of 'mate...'
If you can't distinguish the two sides of World War Two, it's hard to know where to start. Maybe read an encyclopædia entry.
Two sides? There were many more.
Maybe he's not done reading his encyclopedia.
Hitler had a paranoid belief that all Jews everywhere had a genetic imperative to subvert and destroy his Aryan race/civilisation, and that his destiny was to wipe them out and create an Aryan Reich.
Stalin smashed Hitler's army. His ideology was Marxism-Leninism based on class analysis. I don't get how you're equating both sides.
All of this is probably true. But it's not exactly fascism. It's nationalism, and racism, and imperialism.
Now Usa for example have always had racism. And ever since they are one country, they have nationalism. And for a long time they have imperialism. But only recently fascism has started there.
I wondered how long it would take for a .ml to turn up and contribute absolutely nothing.
Dude, you are dealing with a liberal, not a moron. Remember, it doesn't matter if you're right if you sound like an asshole. We all were taught in school that Stalin was evil and bad just like Hitler therefore communism = fascism, and some of us were taught in school that Hitler was a socialist.
Same thing an increasingly large percentage of the time.
1 - get off your high horse
2 - they asked a double question about how did Stalin and Hitler rise to power and how does fascism take hold in a society, they didn't equate Stalinism with fascism.
