I got into a debate once with communists who got triggered by me saying that Chamberlain was a bad prime minister. That was fun.

2019-11-26 22:05:52 UTC  

Chamberlain was a Tory though

2019-11-26 22:06:06 UTC  

Why would any Commie back him?

2019-11-26 22:06:25 UTC  

Regardless of whether or not Geneva inspectors were in the camps, you have to remember that the Nazis were proactive in covering these up from outside eyes, which is why the exterminations were only really made known to the outside world when Soviet and American forces stumbled on them during their push into Germany (despite leaders from America, Britain, and Poland namely knowing about this earlier). It's not as simple as "they didn't find much bad" because there was much more at play here.

2019-11-26 22:06:30 UTC  

It was odd. I figure it was because the USSR was still at peace with Hitler then.

2019-11-26 22:06:40 UTC  

Ah

2019-11-26 22:07:50 UTC  

My bad, late reply

2019-11-26 22:07:50 UTC  

So it would be critical of Stalin...who was the slimest critter of Europe at the time.

2019-11-26 22:08:07 UTC  

Stalin was a worse person than Hitler

2019-11-26 22:08:14 UTC  

At least Hitler believed he was helping

2019-11-26 22:08:17 UTC  

Oh Stalin was awful

2019-11-26 22:08:26 UTC  

Stalin knew he was a cunt and still did what he did

2019-11-26 22:08:44 UTC  

He's at least on par with Hitler

2019-11-26 22:09:07 UTC  

Difference is, his regime was far longer lasting

2019-11-26 22:09:14 UTC  

Yeah

2019-11-26 22:09:25 UTC  

Franco was less bad but lasted longer

2019-11-26 22:09:34 UTC  

Franco was smart.

2019-11-26 22:09:35 UTC  

Less of a tumour and more of a rash

2019-11-26 22:09:52 UTC  

Franco scammed Hitler

2019-11-26 22:10:14 UTC  

Franco stayed neutral and kept out, so he was able to secure his regime whoever won.

2019-11-26 22:10:33 UTC  

It's scary how similar the USSR and the Nazis were

2019-11-26 22:11:20 UTC  

At the end of the day, one of the main fathers of Fascism (Mussolini) used to be a Socialist

2019-11-26 22:11:27 UTC  

Until he was kicked out of the party

2019-11-26 22:11:31 UTC  

Nazis somewhat emulated the USSR, even though they hated them.

2019-11-26 22:12:00 UTC  

Nazis believed in a strong state that "helped" it's people but also crushed it's opponents

2019-11-26 22:12:17 UTC  

Economically, the Nazis were quite centrists

2019-11-26 22:12:34 UTC  

It's just that they were culturally far right

2019-11-26 22:13:11 UTC  

Yep. They were fine with open trade, and weren't as insanely centrallly planned as the USSR.

2019-11-26 22:14:55 UTC  

Not to mention the Nazis were quite diverse with certain ideas that Hitlwr really didn't care about in their own party

2019-11-26 22:15:24 UTC  

Which is why there was a Socialist wing of the Nazi Party in the 1920s and 30s

2019-11-26 22:16:25 UTC  

For a bit...till the night of the long knives.

2019-11-26 22:18:23 UTC  

That was mainly the SA though

2019-11-26 22:18:33 UTC  

That was less about ideology and more about Army

2019-11-26 22:18:43 UTC  

Hitler was scared the SA would overthrow him

2019-11-26 22:18:56 UTC  

Though he did get out of his way to kill journalists

2019-11-26 22:18:58 UTC  

He wasn't entirely wrong.

2019-11-26 22:19:09 UTC  

Because he is a kind man who doesn't leave out the little people!

2019-11-26 22:20:07 UTC  

He couldn't handle criticism. He put his movie idol Charlie Chaplin on a death list after all.

2019-11-26 22:21:30 UTC  

It's funny, he was close with a young Jewish girl

2019-11-26 22:21:47 UTC  

And got pissed at Boorman for cutting ties between the two
