    Are they the same morons that say Hitler was an atheist, despite him repeatedly quoting the Bible and the SS having “God is with us” on their uniforms? 🤔

    They can agree as much as they want. They can agree to suck each other’s cocks too.That doesn’t change the facts. Stupid people remain stupid people.Populism remains populism Stop listening to them.

    Not like it really matters. A lot of self proclaimed communists on the fediverse actively supported Trump, such as ML and Hexbear.

    If nobody agrees what or who communism is then it gets used to describe anything and everything.

    If Hitler is communist then the Nazi party is communist.

    If the nazi party is communist then nazis and supporter of the nazi ideology are communists.

    The far right is comprised majorly of nazis and supporters of nazi ideology, then the far right is communist.

    The far right has Trump as a leader and have an ideology similar to their supporters, then… Trump is communist.

    America, you know what to do with those commies.

        To be fair his dad’s opinion isn’t one that I respect.

        But yes. The man has more money than God and basically his entire family has completely disowned him, with the exception of the baby he carries around as body armor because he isn’t old enough to know what that is yet.

        For anyone else in the world I would hope that would be something of a wake up call.

    Is this the whole “Nazis were socialists because it’s in the name” thing again? The far right love to pull this point out, ignoring the fact that as soon as he had power, Hitler had anyone remotely socialist in the Nazi party murdered so he could get on with the fascism. The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board. Anyway, it figures that Musk thinks Hitler was too left wing, since Musk thinks the whole universe is too left wing. And it’s characteristic of Musk that being to the right of Hitler doesn’t even give him pause.

          I don’t believe Syria ever styled itself “Democratic”. But the Syrian Republic was certainly a republic.

          For that matter, so was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

          A republic is simply a nation with no monarch. If you don’t believe me ask any Canadian, as they are constantly debating whether to officially leave the British crown and become a republic.

            Not as a title, but if i recall correctly, the first first article of the old constitution states that the Syrian Arab Republic is a Democracy. Also for what it’s worth, the Baath party was also officially “socialist”.

            The lack of a monarchy isn’t enough to qualify as a republic, the people need to also hold some sort of power.

              Being a republic has nothing to do with whether ordinary people hold power. For example in Plato’s Republic, power was exclusively held by philosophers because ordinary people were unwise and could not be trusted.

            Yea, the name is originally in latin res publica, meaning “public matter”. In opposition to a kingdom that is the private domain of a single person.

      The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board.

      Sort of. Hitler didn’t found the party, he joined it as a mole in order to spy on it for the military. He ended up doing a lot more than most moles, eventually taking it over and expelling the more socialist (though still racist) founders.

      Hitler hated socialists and tried to change the name as soon as he took over, but was convinced to keep the name because it had become a popular brand.

    Communists were literally one of the first groups targeted for arrest when Hitler came to power in 1933. Like 10 seconds on google.

        I think it’s very possible that he doesn’t actually believe this, but instead wishes that his fans, who are always so eager to kiss his ass do, since in the eyes of most people, Hitler was the most horrible person to ever exist, and if Hitler was a communist that’d mean that communists are horrible people.

        On the other hand, Muskrat is so stupid that him honestly believing this isn’t impossible.

        This assumes Elon is being genuine. He is not. Same as Trump. All the bullshit they spout is about manipulation of their supporters and not about being genuine about their beliefs.

      To quote wikipedia : The first [concentration] camp was Nohra, established on 3 March 1933 in a school. The number of prisoners in 1933–1934 is difficult to determine; historian Jane Caplan estimated it at 50,000, with arrests perhaps exceeding 100,000. Eighty per cent of prisoners were members of the Communist Party of Germany and ten per cent members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

      This obviousy proves Hitler had tens of thousands of communists imprisonned in concentration camps to hide the fact that he secretly was a communist/socialist ! /s
