S D what a bullshit. Do you actually know Ukrainians? Or do you base your opinion on what you see and hear on the Internet, aka you let your opinion be formed by others ? I know alot of Ukrainians, as I have family there as well as friends. I spend a considerable time there and nobody loves war. They do love their country though and would give all to defend it and be finally free of Russia. Taras Shevchenko already in the 19th century poems that showed the Ukrainian desire for freedom. The Adolf part is even more stupid. Ukrainians aren't neo nazis this is the biggest bs ever. If you are going to start about Azov, maybe you should also read about the Sparta and Somalia battalions of the ДНР, as well as the Wagner group of Russia, which is literally named after a nazi. And the Wagner group literally loves war. With their motto being :"Death is our business - and business is good" as well as "I don't believe in anything, I am here for violence". Considering you support that side, what does that make you? No matter what answer you give now, none is good. If you say you do support them fully, it makes you a hypocrite and a nazi, and war lover, in your own logic. If you now say you don't support these groups but only Russia, than you prove another point I try to make, that the fact that there are neo nazi groups (which Sparta and Somalia are) or nazis within a group (as with the case with Wagner) doesn't make a people nazis. If anyone behaves like Hitler, it is Putin.

S D then don't support Russia 🤦♂️.
There is only one country that has set up camps in this war. I am a decendant of a Czech man, born in Germany (but of Czech parents) as his mom fled the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This Czech man, which held the German nationality, moved to the Netherlands before WW II, because he didn't agree with A. Hitler. But sadly A. Hitler would come for his new country as well. So the Czech man, with at this time still the German nationality, living in the Netherlands, joined the resistance. He would be captured and brought to a camp (imagine what the Germans would do to a fellow German national they consider a "traitor".) He would be freed and survive the war. After the war he would get Dutch citizenship, in particular for his actions defending against facism. This man is the father of my grandfather. So facism and nazism is something my family despises to the core of our being.
Whilst there are nazis in Ukraine, like there are in any country, the state that meets the definition of facism and being a facist state, is Russia, not Ukraine. If you properly analyse his speeches, you will find similarities to those of Hitler. Including the terminology used.
About socialism, well I am glad we have a decent health care and educational system in most of Europe. Americans sadly associate "socialism" with communism and when they here the world socialism they think of the USSR. Whilst some countries with quite some socialist influence, like the Scandinavian and Benelux countries, are some of the happiest and richest countries on earth as well some of the strongest democracies on earth (with them outperforming the US in terms of the happiness of its population as well as the strength of democracy)..
The only mistake of the US in ww2 was waiting so long to intervene. It could have prevented alot of suffering by acting sooner. I am glad that the US has now this time decided to act earlier. In the long run it will safe American lives mate. Because if you think he will stop in Ukraine, than sorry my man, but you're living in a fantasy world.
Crimea was his Austria, as he annexed it without a reaction. And he tried to make Ukraine his Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia as a whole. After which he would have attacked the Baltic and Poland. But this time the dictator was stopped at the Czechoslovakia part if we speak in ww2 parallels.

S D Marxism isn't right.. have you actually read his work? Marxism is from which communism arose, a leftist ideology. Nazism is extreme right my man. For once don't be a typical American and believe the people from countries that actually experienced living under the nazis. Also the communist/facist similarities are explained by the use of the horseshoe theory. An actual accepted theory.
Facism is supremacist. Extremely/ultra nationalist. To quote from Wikipedia, because I can't be bothered to go and search for the scientific books I have about the subject, :"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy."
"Fascism rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries, most notably Germany.Fascism also had adherents outside of Europe.[6] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum".
Democratic socialism: "Democratic socialism is a left-wing political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management within a market socialist economy or an alternative form of a decentralised planned socialist economy. Democratic socialists argue that capitalism is inherently incompatible with the values of freedom, equality, and solidarity and that these ideals can only be achieved through the realisation of a socialist society. Although most democratic socialists seek a gradual transition to socialism, democratic socialism can support revolutionary or reformist politics to establish socialism.[7] Democratic socialism was popularised by socialists who opposed the backsliding towards a one-party state in the Soviet Union and other nations during the 20th century".
"Democratic socialism is contrasted with Marxism–Leninism, which opponents often perceive as being authoritarian, bureaucratic, and undemocratic in practice. Democratic socialists oppose the Stalinist political system and the Soviet-type economic planning system, rejecting as their form of governance the administrative-command system formed in the Soviet Union and other Marxist–Leninist states during the 20th century.Democratic socialism is also distinguished from Third Way social democracy, because democratic socialists are committed to the systemic transformation of the economy from capitalism to socialism, while social democrats use capitalism to create a strong welfare state, leaving many businesses under private ownership.However, many democratic socialists also advocate for state regulations and welfare programs in order to reduce what they view as the harms of capitalism and slowly transform the economic system."

S D "Marxism–Leninism is an authoritarian communist ideology which was the main communist movement throughout the 20th century.[1] Developed by the Bolsheviks, it was the state ideology of the Soviet Union,[2] its satellite states in the Eastern Bloc, and various countries in the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World during the Cold War,[3] as well as the Communist International after Bolshevisation.[4] Today, Marxism–Leninism is the ideology of the ruling parties of China, Cuba, Laos and Vietnam (all one-party 'socialist republics'),[5] as well as many other communist parties, while the state ideology of North Korea is derived from Marxism–Leninism.[6] Marxist–Leninist states are commonly referred to as "communist states" by Western academics."
"Marxism–Leninism was developed from Bolshevism by Joseph Stalin in the 1920s based on his understanding and synthesis of orthodox Marxism and Leninism.[16][17] After the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, Marxism–Leninism became a distinct movement in the Soviet Union when Stalin and his supporters gained control of the party. It rejected the common notion among Western Marxists of world revolution as a prerequisite for building socialism, in favour of the concept of socialism in one country. According to its supporters, the gradual transition from capitalism to socialism was signified by the introduction of the first five-year plan and the 1936 Soviet Constitution.[18] By the late 1920s, Stalin established ideological orthodoxy in the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the Soviet Union, and the Communist International to establish universal Marxist–Leninist praxis.[19][16] The formulation of the Soviet version of dialectical and historical materialism in the 1930s by Stalin and his associates, such as in Stalin's book Dialectical and Historical Materialism, became the official Soviet interpretation of Marxism,[20] and was taken as example by Marxist-Leninists in other countries. In 1938, Stalin's official textbook History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) popularised the term "Marxism-Leninism".[21]"
"The internationalism of Marxism–Leninism was expressed in supporting revolutions in other countries, initially through the Communist International and then through the concept of socialist-leaning countries after de-Stalinisation. The establishment of other Communist states after World War II resulted in Sovietisation, and these states tended to follow the Soviet Marxist–Leninist model of five-year plans and rapid industrialisation, political centralisation, and repression. During the Cold War, Marxism–Leninism was a driving force in international relations.[vague][22] With the death of Stalin and the ensuing de-Stalinisation, Marxism–Leninism underwent several revisions and adaptations such as Guevarism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, Hoxhaism, Maoism, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and Titoism. This also caused several splits between Marxist–Leninist states, resulting in the Tito–Stalin split, the Sino-Soviet split, and the Sino-Albanian split. The socio-economic nature of Marxist–Leninist states, especially that of the Soviet Union during the Stalin era, has been much debated, varyingly being labelled a form of bureaucratic collectivism, state capitalism, state socialism, or a totally unique mode of production.[23] The Eastern Bloc, including Marxist–Leninist states in Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Third World socialist regimes, have been variously described as "bureaucratic-authoritarian systems",[24] and China's socio-economic structure has been referred to as "nationalistic state capitalism".[25]"

S D "Nazism (German: Nazismus) (/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/ NA(H)T-see-iz-əm),[1] the common name in English for National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, German: [natsi̯oˈnaːlzotsi̯aˌlɪsmʊs] (listen)), is the far-right[2] totalitarian[3] political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany. During Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Europe, it was frequently referred to as Hitlerism (German: Hitlerfaschismus). The later related term "neo-Nazism" is applied to other far-right groups with similar ideas which formed after the Second World War."
Nazism is a form of fascism,[4][5][6][7] with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates a dictatorship,[3] fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist neopagan Völkisch movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century, and it was strongly influenced by the Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's underlying "cult of violence".[8] Nazism subscribed to pseudo-scientific theories of a racial hierarchy[9] and social Darwinism, identifying the Germans as a part of what the Nazis regarded as an Aryan or Nordic master race.[10] It aimed to overcome social divisions and create a homogeneous German society based on racial purity which represented a people's community (Volksgemeinschaft).".
"The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of socialism, as an alternative to both Marxist international socialism and free-market capitalism. Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism, and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good", accepting political interests as the main priority of economic organisation,[11] which tended to match the general outlook of collectivism or communitarianism rather than economic socialism. The Nazi Party's precursor, the pan-German nationalist and antisemitic German Workers' Party (DAP), was founded on 5 January 1919. By the early 1920s, the party was renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party in order to appeal to left-wing workers,[12] a renaming that Hitler initially objected to.[13] The National Socialist Program, or "25 Points", was adopted in 1920 and called for a united Greater Germany that would deny citizenship to Jews or those of Jewish descent, while also supporting land reform and the nationalisation of some industries. In Mein Kampf, literally "My Struggle", published in 1925–1926, Hitler outlined the antisemitism and anti-communism at the heart of his political philosophy as well as his disdain for representative democracy and his belief in Germany's right to territorial expansion.[14]"
