I got to thinking, why is communism more politically correct than Nazism? Nazism is banned in entire countries, and in places like the US you become an outcast within society.

However, this is not the case with communism. On these boards, we have proud communists, but not so much when it comes to Nazism. In fact, leaning towards Communism is fairly common as we still have entire communist governments still in existence, but none are Nazis.

So which ideology is more evil? Consider this from Wiki.

Comparison of Communism and Nazism[edit]

Courtois considers Communism and Nazism to be distinct, but comparable totalitarian systems. He says that Communist regimes have killed "approximately 100 million people in contrast to the approximately 25 million victims of the Nazis".[6]:15 Courtois claims that Nazi Germany's methods of mass extermination were adopted from Soviet methods. As an example, he cites the Nazi SS official Rudolf Höss who organized the infamous extermination camp, Auschwitz concentration camp. According to Höss:[6]:15


The Reich Security Head Office issued to the commandants a full collection of reports concerning the Russian concentration camps. These described in great detail the conditions in, and organization of, the Russian camps, as supplied by former prisoners who had managed to escape. Great emphasis was placed on the fact that the Russians, by their massive employment of forced labor, had destroyed whole peoples.

Courtois argues that the Soviet crimes against peoples living in the Caucasus and of large social groups in the Soviet Union could be called "genocide" and that they were not very much different from similar policies by Nazis. Both Communist and Nazi systems deemed "a part of humanity unworthy of existence. The difference is that the Communist model is based on the class system, the Nazi model on race and territory".[6]:15 Courtois further stated:


The "genocide of a "class" may well be tantamount to the genocide of a "race"—the deliberate starvation of a child of a Ukrainian kulak as a result of the famine caused by Stalin's regime "is equal to" the starvation of a Jewish child in the Warsaw ghetto as a result of the famine caused by the Nazi regime.

He added:


After 1945 the Jewish genocide became a byword for modern barbarism, the epitome of twentieth-century mass terror. [...] [M]ore recently, a single-minded focus on the Jewish genocide in an attempt to characterize the Holocaust as a unique atrocity has also prevented the assessment of other episodes of comparable magnitude in the Communist world. After all, it seems scarcely plausible that the victors who had helped bring about the destruction of a genocidal apparatus might themselves have put the very same methods into practice. When faced with this paradox, people generally preferred to bury their heads in sand. [...] Communist regimes have victimized approximately 100 million people in contrast to the approximately 25 million of the Nazis.

I really don't see all that big of a difference other than methods and labels they use.

Now you may have a good point there. The technology aspect of it. Nazi use people to experiment on communist implement the concept. The body parts (livers, lungs, etc...) on order would be a good example of that.

From what I can ascertain, the only reason the Nazi regime was considered "right wing" is because they were genocidal racists and they allowed industry to be privately owned. How being a racist makes them right wing I have no idea. The powers that be have erected this false political spectrum of the Communist on the Left and the Nazi on the right and everyone else is in between. The whole premise is absurd, especially when the Nazi regime self identified as Socialists. As for owning industry, Hitler at least was smart enough to know that he knew nothing about running industry. No, that was better left to the experts. Hitler knew that all that really mattered was control of industry, which he certainly did have.

During WW2, it was commonly known that it was not hard to convert a hard line communist to Nazism and vice versa. In fact, both Hitler and Stalin attacked Poland and divided it up like sharing a pizza, yet we are told in our history books that only Germany was the aggressor and only Germany deserved to have war declared on them by the other nations.

Both were genocidal totalitarian collectivist states.

Now if you want to get into the minutia of how they went about things have at it, but they were like brother and sister.
 
Are you seriously trying to resurrect the "Nazi reputation"??
 
Sounds to me as if totalitarian regimes are to be avoided at all costs.
 
it's not so much the system as much as it is the people that run the system
Stalin starved and murdered hundreds of thousands
communist Pol Pot was a lunatic who murdered thousands
communist NKorea started an ''illegal'' war/etc
we really had only one major nazi party, yes?
now if you include dictatorships, that's different
Saddam, Amin, etc--all jackasses

The Nazi "system" ended up using the "final solution" as part of their systematic plan, though, which I doubt Communism anywhere actually touted.

Keep our democracy, since the alternatives suck. Since politics in this country began going full obstructionist, the last two presidents have turned to EO's to get things done. That's the beginning. We are opening that door by not allowing the system to work. Compromise and bipartisanship is the only answer.

That's bull. History is what it is:

---and just two communist dictators alone account for almost eight times the death toll of the Nazis. Hundreds of millions killed is not what I'd call "minutia".

Stalin/communist/Pol Pot had hundreds of thousands murdered/starved
I'd rate hitler and Stalin the same

What is your point? That Hitler was okay because he didn't kill as many people?
Wow.

Because those that invented and lead Communism now control and lead education,political and judicial systems so they can control what's taught and learned.

as stated in the previous thread, I rate Stalin and hitler the same
but I think the 60 million is controversial / arguable
in Bloodlands Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, I believe they state hitler murdered more [ we are not including military combat deaths ]
..this is counting starvation/gulag deaths/etc by Stalin
 
Because those that invented and lead Communism now control and lead education,political and judicial systems so they can control what's taught and learned.

Ummm...Marx and Engels "invented communism" and are long dead...as is communism.

Fascism however is alive and well unfortunately and threads like this are trying to legitimize it

Communism was of course founded by Karl Marx whose grandfather was a rabbi by the name of Mordeccai. Marx was given his initial encouragement by a Communist-Zionist by the name of Moses Hess. As founder and editor of the Rheinische Zeitung, the main organ of leftist thought in Germany, he provided Karl Marx with his first important platform. Later, in Brussels, he collaborated with Marx on The German Ideology. It was Hess too who converted to Communism Friedrich Engels, the wealthy textiles magnate who later subsidised Marx from the profits of sweated labour in Britain and Germany.

When the Bolsheviks overthrew the short-lived democratic government in Moscow and St. Petersburg in October 1917, it was a virtual Jewish coup d’état. The most prominent Jewish Commissar was Trotsky, real name Bronstein. He had been married by a rabbi in 1900, and whilst in exile in New York he had worked for Novy Mir, described in the Church Times (23 January 1925) as a “Yiddish newspaper.”

The most detailed description of Jewish influence in the Bolshevik ‘revolution comes from Robert Wilton, the Russian correspondent of The Times. In 1920 he published a book in French, Les Derniers Jours des Romanofs, which gave the racial background of all the members of the Soviet government. (This does not appear in the later English translation, for some odd reason.) After the publication of this monumental work, Wilton was ostracised by the press, and he died in poverty in 1925. He reported that the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party was made up as follows:
