In the run up to the second world war which ideology of the traditional three perspectives posed the biggest threat to the other two? >Communist notions of private property directly conflicts with Liberal and less so fascists beliefs >Liberal individuality directly conflicts with Fascism and less so with Communism >Fascist views on equality and hierarchy directly conflicts with Communism and somewhat with Liberalism I hear Wheraboos constantly argue that communism was a bugger threat but is this true? Was corporate driven liberalism the biggest threat or militaristic fascism a larger threat to the peace and prosperity of the other two ideologies? Could we have lived in a Anti-communist timeline, or a crusade against liberalism, or was this anti-fa timeline we live in now basically inevitable? What would a cold war have looked like between Fascism and Liberalism/Communism ect.
Pic over simplified for dummies, I know each ideology is more in depth than just three axis.
You can't really separate the ideologies from the states that practiced them when it comes to creating threat profiles. Ultimately, Fascism was the greater threat to the other two for the very simple reason that Fascist states espoused armed conflict and exportation of such as a way of settling ideological disputes that liberalism decried and communism might have espoused but didn't really do in practice.

The thing is, you didn't actually need the Nazis to win to put a stop to Stalin's plans for a Soviet invasion of Europe in 1943, you just needed them to do a great deal of damage. The Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union severely damaged the Soviet economy, and put a stop to the building of a powerful war machine that would have quite easily swept the Western nations aside in a few years' time.
Hitler did not do this intentionally; his plans were just as crazy as Stalin's plans for Soviet world domination; however, since he didn't win, he just did enough damage to the Soviet Union to ensure the Western powers would win the Cold War.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying that the Nazis did something good, I'm a slavaboo myself, I'm just saying they did Western liberal countries a favor. That's why Churchill said that his hope would be that the last Russian would kill the last German.

All three were literal unironic supranational fascists bodies in practice and defacto and were simply fighting to secure resources.
This is how it will be analyzed 500 years from now. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

That doesn't prove anything except that the Soviets were engaged in a large military buildup. If you took the size of the American forces over the same period, you would find an even bigger increase. Can we infer from that that FDR was planning to conquer the world?
Matthew Brooks
FDR's ideology didn't demand that he use his country as a base for spreading it through military force.

>and put a stop to the building of a powerful war machine that would have quite easily swept the Western nations aside in a few years' time. Are you insane? How did they put a stop to it? Do you have any idea about the quantities of tanks and airplanes USSR produced DURING the German invasion? We're talking about hundreds of thousands. Wow, it's almost like they prepared for an imminent German invasion or something.
Do you stormfags have any concrete proofs of eventual Soviet attack beside talking out of your ass?
