What’s not discussed is the alternatives to them, which is the most likely reason. At one end of the beer hall is an Austrian veteran who wants national responsibility, respect and higher wages for his people. At the other end of that hall is a tiny foreigner jewess who’s never held a hammer calling for global revolution and for Germans to kill all their business owners. Even knowing how it all went down, I’m siding with the painter over Red Rosa, and that’s an indictment on her. People chose the painter because everyone else was THAT MUCH WORSE.

One of TIKs weaknesses is, ironically, the only strength of marx and that’s to see the moment-to-moment movements of history. The differences between so many of these ideologies matters less than those leading it, which is why they were all at opposite ends of beer halls giving speeches to workers. Hitler rose because he told the men, as a veteran, that he wanted German pride back. Luxembourg didn’t because she was an small female outsider telling the same audience to overthrow their national leaders as part of a global revolution. Even knowing what I know now, I’m still siding with the veteran.

I had Christopher Hitchens as a college professor and corrected him in class about the civil war and he was cool with it because I citied by source. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed about being wrong.

“Preventing it from happening” is part of why it keeps happening. There are 100s of Holocaust memorials in the United States for an event that didn’t happen here made to people who didn’t experience it but use it to point to in order to justify their parasitic presence and isolate their behavior from just criticism, hence the LEGITIMATE REASONING BEHIBD PROPAGANDA YOURE DENOUNCING. Why did the Poles and Russians, who hated each other, both depict Trotsky the same way? Imagine yourself as Ferenc Puskas in mid century having to ask Jewish people who weren’t born in his country for permission to leave it? Where is your tactile understanding of history? Your moment-to-moment understanding where history really is?

@bombom6003 Yes, stupid. Nazis were doctrinally national socialist. Replace "jew" for "billionaire" in the NAZI 25-point plan and Bernie Bros would be all over that. Fascism is italian and it's almost entirely economic.

Frankenstein is a monster because he let his creation out of the box when doing nothing at all was the virtue. He played god. Don’t play god.

All education is indoctrination; this we must first concede. As well, we should gear students toward successful professions. What else would this indoctrination be used for? To be cynical about the construction of this indoctrination is itself myopic. What else would education do? Your quarrel is with WHAT’s being indoctrinated at the expense of truth, other learning and nefarious motives, as is mine. The desire isn’t to replace the system; it’s to purge it of bad actors.

We actually are. Fascism is almost entirely an economic concept; how the state rules the economy without "owning" it. It's socialism lite — the OG fascists were reactionaries to communists who were reactionaries to capitalists. But that "third way" is almost entirely socialism without the historical materialism. If you look at what Fabian socialists wanted for American in the early 1900s, we have all of that now. Price and wage labor control, graduated income tax, public ownership of certain industries.... The irony is that Donald Trump, who was called a fascist, was the LEAST fascist president since Coolidge. And FDR was a fascist.

@romansternberg5696 What about the short-bus Raul Hilbergs who can’t find evidence of it?

The answer is best given by showing the alternatives. The Spaniards that put Franco in power didn’t do it because they loved Franco; he was just not as bad as everyone else. Franco, like Hitler, is an indictment on the alternatives. I’ll take the Austrian veteran over the tiny jewess at the other end of the beer hall any day. That’s an indictment on Red Rosa from two other countries calling for revolution, not me.

What’s amazing, Tik, is your cynicism through your entire video juxtaposed against your opening message of forced inclusivity. In the end, does it matter what justification a people has to get rid of a recurrently uninvited and parasitic guest on their land? Your nation is presently being flooded with feral races of Islamists of whom other Europeans countries have had to expel in the past, and expel their internationalist enablers, as was the case with Hungary in 1526. There may come a day soon on your island that Atlantis, Alfred and Arthur legends swirl as motto to present yourselves a justification for a reconquest of your island and an exile of your uninvited parasite guests. It is immaterial to most people what the justification is so long as the action is taken. What’s recorded in books isn’t real history. Real history is watching blacks loot a Walmart on the news and realizing that the men who we were taught wanted them kept out of the towns whites built have been vindicated by the outcome of time that appears entirely different in the history books.

@BengalEmpire767 When a tiny Jewess named Luxembourg, who can barely speak English and has never held a hammer, is at one end of the beer hall talking about overthrowing her host’s government and customs and joining a “worldwide revolt,” whoever is making a speech at the other end of that beer hall will be your new leader. Fascism was just way better than communism. That’s what happened.
2
Why do you talk about semitism as if it’s our fault? Do you honestly not understand the history of Central Europe? How many times have these Semites overstayed their univited welcome?

“Poland attacked us” is as plausible then as “Ukraine attacked us” is today, which is to say entirely plausible. To think of Poland and Germany even as independent actors and not avatars for other things is just naive. At this point in history, Poland only was Poland for almost two decades and already had to fight communists. Once they felt reassurance from the western powers they probably got a little punchy, as Slavs are wont to do.

The first, and most important, thing you have to do is dispel that capitalism DOES NOT EQUAL opportunism. That's the toughest part with discussing economics with marxists. They think all opportunism is capitalism.

They’re not idiots; like Orwell said, modern totalitarians know what they’re doing. You’re misattributing incompetence to malice. These people are paid to make kids soft and cohesive, therefore pliable to a power structure in the future.

The collateral damage to America for WWII didn’t even make it a Pyrrhic victory. We lost world auto-making hegemony directly afterwards because an extremely violent race of people moved north during the war and rioted as a potent of what blacks would do to US cities after the war. Detroit went from a white city, and one of the wealthiest on earth, to a hellhole in less than a generation — all because the migrating blacks destroyed it like they destroy everything someone else built.

@f23-n4t No, but they should.

Your Churchill is like our Lincoln; total blundering idiots who ran their mouths and got people killed.

A better way to put it, a more honest way, was “German purity movement.” In a sense, and after the war, other countries got to expel their Germans. Why couldn’t the Germans have done the same by expelling non-Germans and we could have just avoided that war?

What you’re describing here is not capitalism, it’s markets. There are markets in any system — markets are apriori to all systems save one — capitalism. Capitalism isn’t a system; it’s markets that already exist left alone. Those things you described could be available in socialism and provided for the same reasons. It’s the external structure OUTSIDE the market that makes it one ISM or another.
1
Not really. They just wanted someone who would get rid of the outsiders debasing everything German. They felt then how the Irish feel now, or people in Detroit felt in the 1940s. Think about the outsiders to the west who run to us now, suck welfare and housing benefits from the natives and then call the natives evil for celebrating the religion that built where they ran. That was Weimar Germany. The person censoring this comment is an immigrant Hindu from one of the poorest and backwards countries on earth. How dare he! History looks different through the prism of the present, no?

Counterinfiltration. These were all our institutions once; marxists don’t make anything. I usually like to ask them that flat out; “why don’t marxists ever make anything, only scheme to take what other people made?” When you get down to their greed, at their base, they lose control and it’s really funny.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was the case and that case was self contained? There are always barbarians at the gate prepared to believe demagogues precisely because they can't think for themselves. Those demagogues instruct thes dependents to crash the gates of people who do what you and I do. It's not self contained.

“The Jewish myth” Why does anti-Trotsky propaganda from both Poland and USSR, enemies to each other, look the same? Your British accent belies your experience. Our small-hat friends have been expelled from Hungary many times in their past, yet the small hats return. Why should a country have the right to chose its people? If a country I was in where I had little history, I wouldn’t fight it much beyond wanting to know why.

“Those who can’t do, teach” exists is the “harder” soft sciences, like economics, but it is the rule in liberal arts.

@Snarflelocker That’s a lie. No country spends more on education that we do and no one gets less. Most of our problems aren’t with teachers but low-quality students.

@Snarflelocker Where do you think the money goes? And there is no ROI for taxpayers to pay you sloppy menaces more.

When you’re in war, you use any symbols that keep you together. Even Stalin, an international socialist, evoked the motherland in their Great Patriotic War. We forget how transactional even totalitarian politicians are.

Urban vs Rural explains more intranational conflicts than most other explanations. It hasn’t gone away and will never go away.

You’re missing the point • look at Ukraine now. We’re lend-leasing them. It’s substantially more, in terms of what Ukraine had before, but the same premise is at play — the support from outside means they don’t have to surrender. More important, the “tipping point” aspect. How many battles in history would have been won if the losers had just 3% more soldiers, arrows, horses, etc? The Norman invasion would have failed, for sure. War isn’t what’s on paper for historians to evaluate; war is a battle over resources and the ability to keep men motivated. That’s what you’re not factoring in.

@mikhailc1081 Start with my first sentence again, stupid.

@jackobrien47 I think Hitler was more like Obama than most are comfortable taking about — a gifted speaker whose message began to reflect the people that most flattered their lazy megalomania. They were putty to eachother’s hands rather than any real solid thing happening and taking power for the sake of taking it from someone else. At their core, they’re the same thing as a historical archetype.

That way the fools in charge won’t listen? Your generation is voting for that in their government. You’re getting a micro-glimpse at what living under totalitarian rule was like. Hopeless.
