   @p @m0xEE @PurpCat @ins0mniak @olmitch "Same thing as the Nazis or the other communists here, they're too invested to accept reality." Are you calling National Socialists communists?

     The context of that quote was socialist professors in Russia praising the USSR, so "other communists" applied to that.
     
     But Nazis are not materially different from communists: totalitarian collectivism is totalitarian collectivism. The distinction between a national socialist and an international socialist is about as important as the distinction between Shia and a Sunni or the distinction between First Baptist and Southern Baptist or the distinction between a Republican and a Democrat.

     Really? So National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union were essentially the same thing?
