Stalin’s Ok

It is interesting that you can travel to Russia – the old Soviet Union – and take a tour of Stalin’s dacha, complete with pictures of him on the wall and even dummies of him dressed like him sitting at the desk where he no doubt signed the execution orders of countless victims. You can walk past the embalmed corpse of Lenin – founder of the most murderous regime in modern times – and pay your respects. The Soviet star – symbol of that regime – is still a common sight in Russia. It is still displayed on Russian military aircraft, in fact.

But you’ll be arrested – in Germany – if you attend a model RC airplane show with your  Messerschmitt BF109 displaying the period-correct symbol of national socialist Germany on its vertical stabilizer. The former headquarters of Reichsmarschall Goering’s Luftwaffe still exists, but there is no indication it ever was the headquarters of Reichsmarschall Goering’s Luftwaffe. The eagles holding swastikas on the plinths in front are long gone – and there are no pictures of Der Dicke – the Fat One – hanging on the wall, let alone effigies of him dressed in one of his gaudy uniforms.

It is absolutely verboten, of course, to display a portrait of you-know-who and it is inconceivable to even imagine that – had his body survived the war – you’d be able to walk past it encased in glass and guarded by government soldiers.

This is interesting when you ask why this is.

Why is it apparently ok to display the symbols of communism but not those of national socialism? Why is it ok to display the body of the founder of the communist Soviet state – and effigies of the man who was responsible for the mass murder of tens of millions (rather than six million) but it is absolutely verboten to so much as paint the historically correct national emblem on a model airplane?

Let lone the real thing.

Well, the Soviet Union won the war, of course. But it is deeper than that. The real reason why is that communism won.

It is still winning.

A communist in everything but name is running for president. Communist ideas are politely entertained – even though we have the knowledge (and the body count) as regards where those ideas inevitably lead.

National socialism – it is important to say it out loud and to spell it out loud rather than to say and use the acronym that obscures the socialism – was an authoritarian collectivist system very much in practice similar to communism in that the individual was considered a widget, the collective everything. In both cases, the party ran things; “the people” ran nothing. The leader ran it all.

But communism is ok. Politically acceptable. Including its various avatars. National socialism isn’t.

That’s interesting.

You can safely wear a Che Guevara T shirt or even a Marx T shirt on any college campus in the United States. But you take your life in your hands if you wear a T shirt with you-know-who’s face on it.

This is not an attempt to say national socialism is ok. It is not. Like communism – which is the more aggressive etiolation of socialism – it is system that is based upon rigid hierarchies kept in place by force. Either will kill you – the individual – if you dare to assert yourself as an individual. Your individual existence means nothing and counts for nothing except insofar as it serves the collective, which amounts to serving the interests of the minority that controls it. The party appartchiks and – ultimately – the leader.

Communists like to pretend their dictatorships are of “the proletariat.” But it was Lenin – then Stalin – who ran things as absolutely as did you-know-who.

So, both forms of the same thing are at least equally loathsome because both are equally  murderous – including literally but also figuratively, as of the human individual. But communism is ok because they say it is ok. Rather, they insist it is ok. While – at the same time – insisting its nationalist (rather than internationalist) iteration is very much not ok.

This is very interesting.

They hold positions in academia and the media and – of course – government, where they are able to aid and abet communism while at the same time excoriating national socialism. It is schizoid. Or – perhaps more accurately – it is self-interested. A tenet of communism is that anything goes when it comes to advancing communism. Orwell – better than any other writer – dissected this habit of mind in his novel, 1984.

For a communist, nothing matters more than communism, including objective reality. If the party says 2+2=5 rather than four, then it does equal five. Just as a man who says he is a woman is a woman. This is not feigned. It is taken as literally true, in a fanatic way, because it is what the party says it is (per Orwell).

Communism persists because it never went away. And it never went away because it is still regarded as ok. More finely, because it is ok to regard it as ok. Whereas it is very much not ok to regard its dark twin as even remotely ok.

A pithy quote attributed to the 18th century French philosopher François-Marie Arouet – better-known by his pen name, Voltaire – says that “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

As it turns out, Voltaire didn’t say that. An admirer of national socialism by the name of Kevin Alfred Strom apparently did. Strom wasn’t a nice man but that is entirely beside the point.

His statement is born out by the dissonant facts – and that’s a very interesting thing, isn’t it?

  1. As in all wars…WW2 was an internal dispute between the slave owners…the control group..A new world order republic…Germany… was trying to switch back to an absolute monarchy…absolute monarchy…king at the top…slaves on the bottom…one feature of the absolute monarchy was they didn’t mix up the slaves…a homogeneous society…no mixed tribes….

    The royalists lost…the republicans won….now in some German cities migrants are over 50% of the population…huge problems now….the original white tribe there will be completely replaced…gone…the end…in other G7 countries…the same agenda….

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WskoJJ3OBOo

    The best system for the white tribes in Europe was before they got invaded and enslaved 2000 years ago…they lived happily in their mud and straw huts before they were genocided and enslaved….they only needed one law to live under…do no harm…don’t do anything to anybody…. you wouldn’t want them to do to you….

  2. Take heart, Eric.
    I do know of at least one Bf109 on static display in the US which has the period correct Hakenkreuz on its tail. I suspect that anyone who dared to whine to the museum directors would be told to take a hike, preferably a long walk off a short pier.

    That said, the Hate Germany campaign in the US, as you are probably aware, predated WWII by 20 years. It was initiated by the US government (Woodrow Wilson administration) to get the US involved in the war in Europe, the one we now know as WWI.

    We Americans of German heritage have the dubious distinction of being the only ethnic group (the largest in the country, at the time) to have been the target of a campaign of hatred directed against us by our own government, as a matter of national policy. It was very real, and very ugly. Of course, I was not alive at that time, and neither were my parents, but I have second cousins who changed their last name, out of fear, to something which sounded English, rather than recognizably German.

    And yet, I was required to attend Woodrow Wilson Junior High School, which is kind of like requiring Jews to attend Josef Goebbels Gymnasium, eh?

  3. Mother Bloor was an American communist who was an instigator, an outside agitator, raised some hell back in the 1900’s to the 1930’s.

    She was born in Staten Island in New York. Went to Iowa and dumped milk. Ella Reeve Bloor was in Russia long before Bernie was born. Mother Bloor was well-known and was all over the place in America. Mother Bloor had a long rap sheet, she was arrested numerous times, even in Nebraska.

    During the Great Depression, 35 American cities elected socialists as mayors. A county in my home state elected a socialist as Sheriff during the Great Depression. Bankers didn’t like him. Stopped foreclosure sales.

    Then there are the Industrial Workers of the World, aka, I Won’t Work. Joe Hill was an organizer.

    Communists in America have been around for more than a century and they are everywhere you go.

    I doubt very much Kamala has any idea of who Mother Bloor was.

    These days, communists are in your face, just a little too much.

    Once a communist, there is no apostasy.

    Islam too, no apostasy. They will kill you.

    Lincoln too, if you leave, you get killed.

    Communism is religion with no god, no nature’s law, and no moral compass.

    What’s a little more death? No big deal, live with it.

    (((Who))) comes up with such nonsense?

  4. “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” — eric

    Likely this provocative quote will have to be outlawed soon, as it is just too inciteful, and too many know the name of Those Who Cannot Be Criticized (ThoWhoCBC).

    Meanwhile, ThoWhoCBC have legislation on deck to make DAMN SURE that they can’t be criticized, without severe legal consequences for the speaker. It passed the House by a 320-91 in May. Rabbi Chuck Schumer has vowed to bring it to Senate floor after the election:

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6090

    Without actually including the text, the bill specifies that ‘the term “definition of antisemitism” means the definition of antisemitism adopted on May 26, 2016, by the IHRA.’

    At first, one’s heart skips a beat — surely the International Hot Rod Association has not been taken over by Holocaustianity! No … this IHRA is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance with 35 governmental members [holocaustremembrance dot com].

    Its definition of antisemitism provides eleven “contemporary examples of antisemitism,” seven of which deal with the State of Israel.

    One states that antisemitism is embodied in “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, i e, by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour”.

    It is also antisemitic to apply “double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behaviour not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation” and “drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis”.

    Set aside the outrageousness of tying this definition to a controversial historical event which cannot be questioned in most of Europe, including occupied Germany. The International Court of Justice determined on July 19, 2024 that Israel is ‘responsible for apartheid,’ making the Israeli state most certainly a racist endeavor.

    Then, Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, killing tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of civilians, IS comparable to Nazi atrocities — if not worse.

    That is, IHRA’s 2016 definition of antisemitism has been overtaken and made irrelevant by the events of the past year, which have exhibited Jewish barbarity to the entire world. They are now carrying out their own Holocaust 2.0. Therefore, I will speak out against the rancid, murderous state of Israel till they cart me off to prison.

    • Germany subscribed to ALL Geneva Convention protocols as to the conduct of war and treatment of non-combatants.
      Since “world jewry” declared “war” on Germany in 1933, (yes, 1933) ALL JEWS within Germany could have been considered to be “enemy combatants”.
      This was not the case, as many German jews served in the Third Reich military.
      Many jews lived unremarkable lives both in Germany and in occupied European countries for the entirety of the war.
      Not only that, Hitler eschewed the use of poison gas, used in WW1, and still proposed for use in WW2 by the Allied powers.
      The Allied powers violated both the spirit and precepts of then Geneva Convention to a much greater degree than the Third Reich.
      The bombing of Dresden and other German cities are but examples of saturation bombings without regard for non-combatant civilians.
      Sounds familiar, today?
      Eisenhower’s Rheinwiesenlager death camps (true concentration camps unlike the German work camps) were but an egregious violation of Geneva Convention rules on the treatment of POWs.
      Since the victors write the history, these violations of Geneva Convention protocols and outright mass-murder were “swept under the rug” of history.

  5. The most National Socialist regime on earth right now is probably Israel. Think about it. Israelis are highly nationalistic, and completely socialistic. Tribes are socialistic, Jews are completely tribal. There is tremendous cohesion worldwide with this ethno-nationalistic Jewish only state. Israel has mandatory military service, everything is subsidized (by you the Amerikan tax slave).

    Jews are ok with Nazis so long as they are the Nazis. But Germans can not be Nazis in Germany. Why? Because Jews run Germany. Only one supremacist race is allowed on planet earth and that is Jews. BTW Stalin’s regime was almost all Jews. (They change their names to hide their real identity, just like they do in Amerika).

    Leon Trotsky real name is Lev Davidovich Bronstein
    Russian Marxist revolutionary (1879–1940)

    Karl Marx was a Jew, Communism is a totalitarian Jewish revolutionary movement. Hitler and the NSDAP had gun firefights in Berlin against the Jewish Communists in Weimar Germany. When Hitler seized power, in order for the Germans to survive, they too had to organize men into a superstate. The problem was Hitler was a megalomaniac and invaded Russia. You never want to invade Russia before the winter.

    What Eric has yet to realize is that Germans are not naturally socialistic, they are very independent hard working peoples, who had socialism imposed on them to survive the wave of Communism taking over the world back then. They went along with Hitler as a survival tactic. If you lived back then in Germany, and witnessed the Communist takeover of Russia, you too would be frightened of becoming a Communist slave and would of joined the NSDAP.

    I would bet Eric would be in the front of the line for the German officer corp if he lived back then (as would I). Both Eric and I are very individualistic, but when threatened with annihilation we both may have ditched our Libertarian impulses and took up the task to defeat Stalin and the red terror.

    How do I know this? Because Kamala is the face of new red terror and we both oppose her. If Kamala wins and Amerika falls to the red terror, who knows, maybe Eric will be leading the new NSDAP. Just kidding, but understand folks the Communist faction of Jews are on the march to totally overthrow our way of life and impose a draconian climate agenda on us and they do not care how many they have to kill and impoverish to do so.

    So Eric, want to ride your privately owned motorcycle in the future, start thinking What Would Hitler Do (WWHD) if he lived now and was facing the onslaught of Green Agenda and Gavin Newscum who is eliminating oil refineries in California. The UN said this week they intend on resettling 500 million third worlders in Canada and the USA in the next two decades.

    • I wouldn’t sully National Socialism by comparing it with jewish behavior of today and times past.
      The jews are far worse, relying on their talmud as an “excuse” to commit genocide.
      The National Socialists never committed genocide…
      Big difference.

  6. Doesn’t really matter what you call a government, they all exist by assuming authority to kill you if you disobey. One or another may seem less inclined to use or not use that power, but it’s still there.

  7. “You can safely wear a Che Guevara T shirt or even a Marx T shirt on any college campus in the United States.”

    I am grateful for the ego of people who wish to display symbols of their ideology so that I can better recognize the enemy and act accordingly.

  8. “The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends.”

    — Ludwig von Mises

  9. Monika Schaefer, Sylvia Stolz, Ursula Haverbeck are three women who have been incarcerated in Germany’s maximum-security prisons for questioning aspects of the so-called jewish “holocaust™”.
    You see, the jewish “holocaust™” has been turned into a “religion”, in which no investigation or dissension is permitted, “under penalty of law” in many countries. Even Canada has criminalized “holocaust™” heresy.
    The “kangaroo courts” that prosecute those who dare to seek TRUTH about this event utilize a concept called “judicial notice”. For those who are uninformed about this practice, “judicial notice” disallows any evidence that goes against the “commonly accepted beliefs”, EVEN IF THE “COMMONLY ACCEPTED BELIEFS” CAN BE PROVEN TO BE FALSE.
    Judicial notice is a dangerous concept, as it is quite often used to make sure that the courts get a conviction. If a defendant cannot introduce evidence on his own behalf, true “justice” is impossible.
    The jewish “holocaust™” is burning itself out, as more and more people are realizing that it is truly the biggest “hoax of the 20th century”.
    Censorship and incarceration for independent “thought” is the last grasp for the holohoax crowd. They don’t want to see their “cash cow” end.
    The holocaust™ promoters are at it again, claiming that memories of the “holocaust™” can be transferred to children, grandchildren, and even unrelated individuals (jews only).
    They want to keep the reparations racket going. What better way than to declare that the descendants of “holocaust” victims are “holocaust™” victims as well?
    Keep in mind that a “holocaust™” survivor is defined as any jew (jews only) who was alive during and up to the end of WW2, no matter where he or she lived. There are jews who never left NYC who are collecting “holocaust™” reparations.
    You see, only jewish suffering counts. The grotesque, American taxpayer-funded jewish freak shows known as holocaust™ museums are proof as such.
    In fact, more Roman Catholics were interned in the work camps than jews, but that fact is never mentioned.
    The official International Red Cross figure of deaths from all perils in the camps is approximately 271,00 NOT 6,000,000
    It has been shown that approximately 40% of all male jews suffer from some degree of schizophrenia, possibly from “male genital mutilation” where the “mohel” fellates the infant, passing whatever STDs the “mohel” possesses….
    Put such people in power, and you have the situation that we live under today.

    • The worst punishment is to be ignored.
      As WWII recedes further in the rear view mirror, fewer and fewer people will give a damn about any tale of woe from that era. The generation that lived through it are nearly all gone, and many of their first generation descendants as well. As time goes by, WGASA is likely to be the most common response to anyone who brings up Dubya Dubya Two.

  10. Bill Whittle has a series on Daily Wire i have been meaning to watch (got spend the $ to join Daily Wire) called *An Empire of Terror*. Where he documents the full crimes committed by the Marxists starting at the source of Lennin and followed by Stalin.

    Whittle makes the same argument of Eric’s essay…everyone knows about the Nazi’s but hardly anyone knows the true depths of depravity the Soviets committed.

  11. The Stars and Bars are outlawed in several States and Corporations, the biggies being Sears and Walmart. The CSA was a last ditch effort to maintain individual freedom. The notion that the CSA fought for slavery is nonsense but IS the propaganda of the day. Just like one cannot discuss the hoax that the Holocaust was/is,,, one cannot discuss the CSA. The statues are coming down and anyone speaking of it is censored and banned. It prevents people from discovering the truth which is always the antidote to official lies aka propaganda. The victim group(s) of that time was people of color,,, mainly Blacks. Today it is Blacks and the J’s with the J’s being all powerful and the Blacks as their militant wing.

    The J’s have infiltrated most of the Western world,,, their central banks, their governments, and their most potent propaganda tool. Hollyweird. No matter what one says about the J victim group,,, no one pays any mind even when proof is shown.

    It is verboten to speak of Chancellor Hitler or the leaders of the CSA in any manner other than despicable. All media, ads, depict them as anti-humanity. No one can display either flag or symbol with out threat of death or arrest. A 93 year old woman was sent to jail in Germany for denying the holohoax. Even though she live during the period the ‘Judge’ told her she wasn’t a reseacher,,, that she was a ‘denier’ just as people in the States are said the be deniers if they refuse the fake covid and its alleged vaxx. Just as they are called Nazis if they speak well of the CSA.

    IMO the USA is the most gaslit nation on the planet. Its citizens deny everything that is true and accept everything that is false.

    “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” – William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)”

    That day is here and now.

    • The battle flag of the Confederate States of America is a profound symbol of resistance to government tyranny around the world. Which is why there has been such a push to eradicate it these last 20 years.

  12. Every time I see a college student walking around with a Mao t-shirt I want to ask the idiot wearing it if he realizes how many deaths his hero is responsible for. Meanwhile in Germany C.J. Hopkins is being prosecuted/persecuted for a barely visible symbol of National Socialism on a book cover. Different standards for sure.

  13. “You can safely wear a Che Guevara T shirt or even a Marx T shirt on any college campus in the United States.”

    Can’t cite the source, but recall reading that comrade Che was virulently racist. Thus, the irony of the young libtards who likely scream “rayyyyyyy-cissst” strut around with the image of a psychopath, a murder, and a racist on their chest.

  14. A Hungarian pianist and historian who escaped the Iron Curtain in the 1960’s by the name of Balint Vazsonyi wrote a book titled “America’s 30 Years War”. He personally lived under Nazi occupation and the Soviet occupation. He explained the slight differences and many similarities between the two. He also goes into detail how America is falling into socialism. I recommend those who would be so interested to get this book. It will definitely open your eyes.

  15. The problem with politics is some one always wants to rule over you, for your own good of course. It seems living your life and following some sort of a moral code is just old fashioned.

    Perhaps the reason for why is best explained by translating from Greek the meaning of the word “politics”; poly for many and tics for small burrowing (and biting) insects.

  16. “…both forms of the same thing are at least equally loathsome because both are equally murderous.”

    Not to be pedantic, Eric, but communism was far more murderous than National Socialism. The Cambodians alone killed two million people in two years. Add to that the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, Stalin’s purge, the gulags, the Long March, Trotsky’s invasion of Ukraine and Poland, the invasion of Hungary in 1956, Cuba, Nicaragua, etc. etc. and the number of victims of communism far outstripped the wildest accusations made against National Socialism.

    It’s interesting that people frequently claim that “Hitler wanted to take over the world.” This is totally false. Communism, however, DID literally want to take over the world. Marxist ideology sought a borderless, global communism. National Socialism merely sought a unification of Germanic peoples and the defeat of the USSR.

    No doubt, it sucked to be on the losing end of either system. But it sucked to be an Iraqi, a Gazan, an Afghan, a Vietnamese, a Japanese or German victim of the Global American Empire/ZOG, too.

    • Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts even more. National Socialism might have been fine for the German people but as soon as old Adolph started invading other countries he signed the German people’s death warrant. Soviet international Socialism was even worse. There were many, many people in the United States who adored and believed in Russian international Socialism. They even sent to Russia to work. Soon they found out that there was no heaven on earth in Soviet Russia. Sad to say this group of Americans is growing.

  17. “If the party says 2+2=5 rather than four, then it does equal four.” – Eric

    See, your brain (or maybe Apple autocorrect) won’t let you type the word five. Imagine trying to keep track of all the lies, and how they change day to day. And trying to squeeze context out of a statement where there is none. Even when Kommie Kamala gets a softball question from CNN she can’t seem to produce anything other than word salad. Must be exhausting.

  18. Indeed, who can’t you criticize?

    The Jewish Karl Marx was the Founding Father of Communism. Much of the Bolshevik Revolution was run by Jews. Trotsky, the idol of today’s Neo-Cons, was Jewish.

    National Socialism, on the other hand…

    • Correct Mark,
      National Socialism was mostly concerned about the Jews, and as we’ve seen recently one Jewish life counts for more than thousands of ordinary people.

  19. Did National Socialism really lose?

    The IG Farben HQ building still stands in Frankfurt and the component companies still exist, now with Monsanto as part of Bayer. Here in the US, Prescott Bush’s great grandson is still a potential Texas Governor and President while the defense contractor cabal are important components of everyone’s retirement savings with most civilian industrial capacity effectively eliminated.

    Elon Musk’s early space efforts were funded in part by a mysterious UK investment group, Ballie Gifford, which also has stakes in the US defense contractors along with being the largest single shareholder of Moderna.

    I could go on with the list.

    The problem with communist flavored socialism, as Margaret Thatcher famously noted, is that sooner or later, you run out of other people’s money.

    Follow the money trail to the next phase of National Socialism.

    • I really need to study up on the Spanish civil war. As I understand it was basically a fight over which “brand” of communism was going to run the country.

      There’s a desire to make communism/socialism the “logical outcome” of the industrial age. Thing is, that’s not in any way a foregone conclusion. Perhaps if you believe that this moment, right now, is the pinnacle of industrial development, where man cannot possibly create any more, or that religion and charity are insufficient to care for those who cannot care for themselves.

      And what of the entrepreneur? I guess I’m one of those people who look at something and see if there’s a way to make it better. Seems to me that if there’s only 1 (or 5 or 10 or 1000) people who are in charge of improving man’s lot in life, we’re missing out on a lot of brain power that could be put into the topic. And even if you could round up the millions of people who build, then what? Who will decide if their idea gets funded (that same 5 person committee)? That’s just not natural.

      • “As I understand it was basically a fight over which “brand” of communism was going to run the country”

        It was the Internationalists(Republicans) helped by the Soviet Union vs the Nationalists helped by the Germans and Italians (fascists).

        An interesting movie to watch is Ernest Hemingways book/movie, For Whom the Bell Tolls. A lot of Americans went to help the internationalists just like a lot went to Russia to help with their social/industrial revolution. There are still a lot of believers here in America. Look at the popularity of Bernie Sanders.

      • “I really need to study up on the Spanish civil war.” – RK

        I have said the same thing. There’s something there to learn, I think. The problem is that most accounts of it appear to be fables written to promote the author’s political agenda.
