      The US committed a genocide and got away with it, the nazis attempted and failed at it. The concept of lebensraum is just the nazi equivalent of manifest destiny. Hitler says as much that he wants to emulate the US model of settler colonialism, in mein kampf.

      So the only real difference between bourgeois democracy as a form of government, is that its much better at genocide than fascism was.

      Instead of being baffled go read into similarities (and oh boy there’s a lot!) between the third Reich and US empire. A good place to start is the Nuremberg laws compared to Jim Crow laws.

        I know all about that stuff. The inspiration for German eugenics laws came from the US, anti-semitism in the US prior to WWI, etc.

        Posting this “meme” without any context then don’t be surprised when noone takes the argument seriously.

          I don’t understand. You say you know the context of US being comparable to Nazis already…so what’s the issue?

          Also worth saying, that barely skims the surface of the similarities between the two…

      It is an informal summary of how one can view the United Sates of America, and the dozens of upvotes validate it as an acceptable interpretation. To put it analytically: the author wants us to call to mind atrocities (criteria) through which we can associate the U.S. (target) with the Third Reich (reference) and thereby motivate ourselves (audience) to think of the U.S. in a more antagonistic way (objective).

      Despite the indisputable influences that the U.S. had on Fascism, and its support for some neofascists, I would not go so far as to qualify the U.S. as neofascist. That said, I don’t see the value in interrupting other lower‐class people whenever we accuse our oppressors of being (neo)fascists; we have valid reasons for resenting and rebelling against them whether our terminology is precise or not.

      Don’t even try. These people have their own set of brain worms. They want to live under the exact kind of authoritarian regime that the Nazis were, just only if it calls itself communist

          Holy fuck I got a bit perturbed that you used that as in insult, but NO, this motherfucker is a genuine pedophile and his last comments are defending his attraction to lolis. WTF.

          Defining drawings = pedophile

          Restricting what newspapers can print = freedom of the press

          USSR = utopia

          You people really are as pathetic as you come across

        If the “authoritarian regime” has factually better living standards for all of its citizens regardless of sex, race, religion, or born circumstances, it can call itself a football team for all I care

          Factually better, according to the “free press” run exclusively by that regime. Makes sense.
