[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fascism is a total failure when it comes to killing millions of people. At best, the fascist tally is perhaps 15 million.

Compare that to socialism/communism’s total of 100 million.

Fascists are pikers when it comes to filling mass graves. [/quote]

Oh please.  That is so intellectually dishonest. You’re comparing 100 years of communist regimes to a dozen years of Nazi rule. Under the Nazis, 15 million were murdered (and that’s not even counting the 71 million civilian and military deaths directly caused by the Axis powers during WWII). How many more would have been killed if the Nazis had stayed in power for 100 years?[/quote]

1) had the Nazis *won*, the war would’ve also ended. That’s what happens when one side WINS a war - the war stops. So it’s pretty disingenuous of you to extrapolate the continuation of deaths attributed to being lost fighting a war to go on at the same rate after the END of the war.

2) I was counting the US as a “fascist” state for the first 4 years of Trump’s first term, and the current 10 months of Trump’s second term - because people like you insist he’s a fascist so I’m humoring you. And in almost 5 years of a US fascist government, we haven’t filled even a single mass grave with the enemies of the administration.

Trump really sucks at this whole “fascism” thing. [/quote]

Pretty disingenuous of YOU to think the Nazis would have stopped exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” after winning the war and conquering all of Europe.  Fascists never say “ok, that’s enough, we’re cleansed now”.  They go on to other targets.

As for mass graves, people don’t have to be executed directly by the state. That’s old school. They can simply allow people to starve (by cutting off USAID and SNAP), deny them access to medical care, cut funding for cancer research, promote policies that allow infectious diseases to spread, etc.  Excess deaths under Trump are already approaching 1 million, and it’s going to get worse.  In case you haven’t noticed, the billionaires regard us as a surplus population.

Anyway, the entire mass graves argument is hollow, because it’s not part of the definition of fascism.[/quote]

So it’s the responsibility of government to keep everyone on government assistance alive, healthy and well-fed?

I’m not on government assistance of any kind. Never have been.

So what makes the lives of people on government assistance so much more valuable than mine? Because if I stop working and stop generating income - I starve. But people who are sustaining themselves have an expectation that the govt will feed and house them in perpetuity, when it doesn’t do that for people like me?

How did the people on government assistance become so much more important than people not on it? [/quote]
