    Nazis were social democrats as well

    Not to mention who hired friekorps to murder revolutionaries?

      Saying that is about as stupid and uninformed as it gets.

      Please, seriously please, look into actual nazi policies and ask yourself if those policies fit the claim.

      Please look at the actions of the nazis. E.g. the Night of the long knives. Or ask if the systematic murders of disabled people, would be something that fits with social Democrats values.

      Every historian with a focus on nazi germany disagrees with you.

          Social Democracy is not the same as democratic socialism. (E.g. germany understands itself as a social democracy but don’t do socialism nor democratic socialism)

          The nazi murdered democratic socialists though.

          Could you define fascism and socialism, please? For the sake of the argument, as you seem confused over social democracy and democratic socialism.

            Why not give your definitions? Why not define liberalism since it’s the topic at hand?

            This kind of definitionalism obscures the obvious reality that liberals and nazis collaborated for a long time. Perhaps always.

              Nope.

              Democratic socialism is socialism. So the idea that workers should own the mean of production. But it is Democratic. So the government should be Democratic.

              Social democracy is capitalism. But that it should be Democratic and soften the weakness of capitalism by providing social programs.

              You see, 1 is capitalism, the other is socialism.

                workers owning means of production is inherently democratic, you dont need an additional democratic label for that.

                Both of them are capitalism

                  Socialism is not the same as democratic.

                  Socialism describe how Property right should work.

                  Democratic describe how the government works.

                  Both are independent Ideologies.

                  Socialism is not capitalism and to claim that is ridiculous.

      They pretended to be social democrats to gain support of the mass. In practice they were not social democrats.

          Are you seriously implying that it’s a No True Scotsman fallacy to ever exclude anyone from any group? The Nazis didn’t even call themselves socdems, they called themselves socialists. That’s the same system that the PRC says it has right now; are they Nazis? Were the Soviets Nazis?

          Very few arguments can be evaluated based on form alone. You have to check for external consistency. The Nazis were not socialists because they did not advocate for worker ownership over the means of production. They were not socdems because they did not advocate for universal public services. They were nationalist because they did advocate for national supremacy and closed (but expanding) borders.

          Can you describe how they were if that’s your proposition?

          Because no, they weren’t social democrats in any meaningful way and even a basic understanding of their economic policy would tell you that.

            this is the best argument you have? I dont understand the hatred you people have for a country that got its 12-15% population and most industries wiped out by american invasion but still defeat the imperialists and is still standing tall minding their own buisness. If you follow the news, DPRK has made remarkable gains in lifestyle improvements of its people recently and they will continue to grow. Why hate a country that has done nothing wrong ever?

              Maybe it’s the constant threats they make against their neighbor to the south.

              And they very much do not mind their own business.

              Why would you simp for a totalitarian dictatorship? That’s so weird.

              It’s one thing to support communism, that has merit, but you’re sitting here trying to make it seem like north korea is something people should admire. It’s a shit hole lead by an absolutely awful family.

                They almost never threaten any of their neighbor out of nowhere, instead most of its neighbor which they threaten host US military bases and are themselves extremely hostile towards DPRK and support sanctions. DPRK have already abandoned the goal of reunification.

                They obviously mind their own buisness.

                I am not simping for anybody. I am just standing with the north korean people in their struggle against imperialism and the Marxist-lenninst revolutionaries who made DPRK a reality. Any system that isnt liberal bourgeosie capitalist democracy is dictatorship for you, north korea is definitely something people should learn from. How a country faced most powerful enemy on earth and withstood the burn of imperialism and continues its resistance till this day while having solidarity with oppressed people across the world. Its better than 70% capitalist countries if you go by even living standards so I dont know how it is a shithole and I dont care what you think about kim family as we arent here for leader worship. You are western chauvinist dirty imperialist.

                Long live the korean revolution.

                  Were they minding their business when they bombed korea air flight 858? Were they minding their business when they sent troops to participate in russia’s imperialist war against Ukraine? Were they minding their business when they shelled Yeonpyeong?

                  You aren’t anti-imperalist or fighting against the bourgeoisie. You love dictators who steal the resources of the people and maybe it’s wrong of me to call you out on your weird dom fetish; I shouldn’t kink shame you.

                    1. There is no proof that that attack was state directed.
                    2. They are sanctioned by west and russia does trade with them, so yeah they are doing whats necessary for their country
                    3. DPRK claimed it attacked because South Korea was conducting a live-fire artillery exercise near Yeonpyeong and that some shells landed in waters North Korea considers its territorial waters.

                    Kim jong un isnt stealing anyones resources, how much can he steal realistically? you think he can steal more than an avg millionaire does? lol. Your bullshit liberal ideology is responsible for countless genocides but all it takes for you to shame a revolutionary nation is that they dont abide by your ideology and economics. You are bullshitter imperialist dog who pretend to oppose imperialism but cant support anyone who realistically oppose imperialism.

                    I am not surprised though, your ideology is shaped by pedophile billionaires. I never mentioned anything about kim’s yet you keep bringing them in conservation, all it proves that anti communists has nothing but strawmans against communists.

            the difference between a communist coup and a nazi coup is that communists are good people and nazis are bad people. Hope this helps
