   @Midwit @PurpCat @ins0mniak @m0xEE @olmitch Your useless slogan depends on your definition of "the people" and even then, you'd have to have a very narrow definition. It sounds like you read the brochure for one and a critique of the other.
   
   Hitler, without even a plurality of the vote, seized control of the coalition and the Reichstag and had himself made dictator with a gun to the rest of the legislature's head. You do not purges nor public executions nor a Gestapo if what you are doing is "good for the people". The "Ideas so good they have to be mandatory" joke applies. Whatever the Nazi pigs had to say about the strength and the will of the German people was undercut by the iron grip they needed to maintain around the German people's throat, and they were very selective about who counted as the German people. Heisenberg was declared a "white Jew" by the press because he ignored "Deutsche Physik" (the kraut version of Lysenkoism); it turns out, of course, that Deutsche Physik was completely useless and quantum mechanics is an accurate enough model of the universe to build the bombs that we should have dropped on Berlin twice instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and has remained the model we have used for everything that is small enough for particles to matter, or so large that particles become relevant again. Deutsche Physik is the perfect example of totalitarian degeneracy: nothing is permitted to challenge the state, not even the physical properties of the universe.
   
   This is the issue with totalitarianism: it does not, and cannot, accept a limit to the authority of the state. It cannot even survive ridicule. Anyone living under such a system either accepts serfdom and eternal subservience, or they are executed. Fine for krauts; I'm a goddamn American. It doesn't matter if it calls itself "communism", "national socialism", "democratic socialism", it's a brutal theft of your future, your children's future, it's a social lobotomy, it's discarding your humanity and for what? Nazism has yet to deliver anything, even material prosperity or safety. So your suggestion is that everyone trade their soul for a crater? And your justification for this is a slogan? Are you goddamn retarded?
   
   There was one important difference between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia: Trotsky, who wanted total war until global communism was achieved, was ousted by Stalin, who was a bit more conservative about which places to invade and what to do once he was there, so the USSR lasted longer than Nazi Germany.
