Why isn't communism as looked down upon and national socialism? It seems like China and Russia aren't really guilt ridden about their past as Germany is. Also, if you were to come out as a nazi, you'd be beaten up where as being a communist is perfectly acceptable.

They won the war

>being a communist is perfectly acceptable.
yeah it's so perfectly acceptable that we had a big moral panic about it and executed people for being communist spies

Communism's deaths are mostly due toa dminsitrative failures, so they're considered a tragedy in the same regard as the Irirish of Indian famines were under the british empire, entirely avoidable, but not due to the overarching ideology, national socialism however, has only really been tried in a few places, where it led to the deaths of millions of innocents, on purpose.

because communism is (in theory) about ideas we value as "good" i.e. equality, reduce suffering, get rid of alienation/evil capitalism
while fascism is about things we look down upon such as extreme nationalism, isolation, xenophoby, hierachy/dictatorship, repression etc.

Because values of Communism are much closer to the Christian-Humanist values of European civilisation, while Nazism is almost an antithesis of them.

>Also, if you were to come out as a nazi, you'd be beaten up where as being a communist is perfectly acceptable.
Have you been awake at any time in the past 72 years?

...

Is that from Communist manifesto?

James 5:1-6

those poor fascists, victims of such unfair bullying

But it could as well be from communist propaganda.

Because marxism has deep roots in todays society, sadly.

It will take some time to get rid of all the filthy marxists.

This.

That is the point, christianity values are very related with communism.

No

>Because marxism has deep roots in todays society, sadly.

You mean the free-trade capitalist world order and the societies that created it have deep rooted Marxism?

even violent strains of communism that call for death of bourgeoisie are directing their violence towards people who have chosen to oppress (in their ideology). fascists direct their violence towards groups of people for factors they can't control like ethnicity or sexual orientation.

taxes are Marxism to Amerifats

Because Nazism is fundamentally evil whereas Marxism is not. Marxism is merely calling for a societal restructure whereas Nazism post Dolfy is calling for autocratic removal of dissenters and world domination under a fascist state. It's like comparing eating some cheap food to feces.
And this isn't /pol/ with dates.

Ugh, this so much. How can these people not want to live under an unelected regime that takes their food; executes people, jails people, imposes forced labor arbitrarily; deports people; carries genocides; censors what the party doesn't like and imposes poor living conditions? Such fascists!

i'd also say that there's barely anyone who lived under Nazism who's alive and loudly proclaims that they enjoyed it.

in contrast, there are still middle aged people who grew up under socialism and don't like the stark cultural turns their communities took when integrated into capitalism. it's really interesting reading urban ethnographies of East Berlin, for example, where people are openly (or at least were when these were in vogue in the mid-90s and stuff) upset about how they've been priced out of their own housing with reunification and their communities have splintered, art spaces have commercialized or been destroyed, etc.

for all the western propaganda that capitalism was nothing but relief from economic collapse, for the average person, opinions range widely. some people agree with that narrative, some people who were the modern poors that socialism benefited really hate the new ways.

This.

Sharing things =/= communism

Communism is the natural progression of democratic though. Fascism is a rejection of democracy and a return to the old ways. It also originated 20th century fringe movement and paid shills probably contributed to its development.

>Communism is the natural progression of democratic though.
Poor bait

>Fascism is a rejection of democracy and a return to the old ways.
Look up "Fascism + modernism"

Fascism evolved from illuminism the same way that modern democracy did

jews

>ruining agriculture is the natural progression of democracy
Lmao

This.

The aftermatch of Natsoc (and 1957) resulted in a critical re examination of our values to awnser the question of how something like natsoc (totalitarianism) could had appeared. This resulted in critical theory and post modernism. The shock of natsoc stuff over marxist leninism is bigger as the whole west was effected by ww2.

Communism (or socialism, strictly speaking) is just the application of democratic principles to the free market.

The people who first created communism and it's genocidal revolutions are the same people who Hitler hated to his guts.
Also they won the war.

Yes, thanks for reminding Veeky Forums of the Jewish Congress where Jews decided to create communism!!!

Communism= Everyone should share and be equal
National Socialism= Kill the inferior races

Gee, I wonder.
You can argue about whether communism is possible, but as an idea itself, it's fairly innocent. The logical conclusion of nazism is genocide.

Speaking about china, can someone give me some info about the time right after Mao died? A book, an article, anything would help.
