Yep, fuck these nazis, I don't really need any more reasons to hate them, but they keep coming up with them

    At this point it's not just the Nazi leadership .... it's the citizenry that just sits on the sidelines waiting for it all to go away.

    The country needs to stand up and shut things down. Not violently or to cause a civil war ... strike, stop work, refuse and picket everything and everywhere until things change or are brought under control.

    I think the thing that terrifies them about communism the most is that the people wouldn't be so beholden to neo slavery via technocracy. It would be communities helping one another, mutual aid. Instead the greediest motherfuckers have sucked so much down that the people are getting wise to it, so they have to grasp at the straws they can. Don't get me wrong, it's working very well for them, but I'm seeing the house of cards getting higher every day.

    I think you're right, but they're wrong. Trying to establish a communistic regime was never any obstacle for the elite when it came to turning it into a slavery - it can be uses as a tool and guise to do exactly that, as we've seen many times before.

    You're not wrong, the soviet Union has become the scapegoat of how communism doesn't work, but I think that they missed the part that it was the authoritarian regime that gave it the bad name
