Rightwingers want you to believe that Nazis and Communists were equivalent. Such was NOT the case. One reason, of course, is that many Republicans in the USA sucked up to the Nazis (such as George H W Bush’s father). For one thing, the Nazis believed in a Master Race… they were racists, pure and simple. The Communists NEVER believed in such. The Nazis opened up massacres of people based solely on their race, national origin, and/or religion. They killed many more people than the communists did in a mere 12 years… and most of those killings occurred in the last six years of the Third Reich (with the majority of them occurring in the three years of 1942-44). One reason that we know so much about the GULag is that so many people survived it. The USSR NEVER ran the equivalent of Auschwitz or Sobibor.
People who claim that the Nazis and Communists were equivalent have an agenda… the present Ukrainian junta wants to hide the fact that it glorifies Nazi collaborators, who helped the Nazis carry out the Holocaust (and committed thousands of murder on their own nickel, as they did in Volyn). Their US Republican paymasters and puppeteers (Nuland is a Republican neocon, not a Democrat) do so as they whitewash the violent slaver past of the American South and the racist legacy of Jim Crow.
We should remember our history… that the Anti-Hitler Coalition did indeed put down a noxious evil and abomination. If we forget our past, if we allow interested parties to rip it to shreds, we have no future, no soul. That’s why the Galician Uniate nationalist toppling of Lenin statues is an abomination… it’s why the Republican propaganda attacking the legacy of the New Deal is an abomination as well. If they wish to destroy, where will it end? The Reichstag Fire ended in the Auschwitz ovens. The Uniate toppling of statues has led to the murder of opposition journalists and politicians… who will they turn on after they’ve killed their real opponents? Yes… who will they turn on?
Hitler’s spirit walks the earth in Kiev and in Washington and London… may God make this abomination short-lived…

This appears to be the USA. This proves, to all comers, that the shit spouted by Fox News and the Republican Party doesn’t pollute everyone in the USA. Shall decency win out in the end? I hope so… I hope that we end the lying historical revisionism of the Republicans, that we put their vicious and nasty McCarthyism and their scurrilous Antichristian Me First Crapitalism down. I hope that we can resurrect the spirit of the New Deal… that spirit helped the USA do its part in the Anti-Hitler Coalition. I hope that anti-patriotic greedsters like Willy Romney, Chilly Hilly, Ted Cruz, Joe Biden, Marco Rubio, and Antonin Scalia lose all their influence and power.
Can these dry bones live? I confide… they can! However… we have to want it and we have to steel ourselves to endure the pain necessary to drive out the crapitalist plug-uglies. It’s time to retake our home… squatters like the Kochs and Waltons have stolen from us long enough…
