Are Communists better than Nazi Fascists?

Answer 1

The are actually the exact same thing. Nazi actually stood for National Socialist Party. The only reason Hitler hated the communists of Russia was because he wanted to control the whole of Europe.

Nazi Fascists (Hitler) = Communists (Stalin)

Answer 2

Well based on body counts no.

Fascists are arguably responsible for the death of about 12 million people during WW2 and another 1 or 2 million since (due to various fascist regimes in the recent past or presently).

However fascism has only really had about 15 years of actual functioning governance over some 1/4 billion souls So the actual possible impact is much less.

While communism has been in practical control of about 1/6 to 1/3 of humanity for nearly the last 50 years so there's a lot more potential to go wrong.

Communists have killed at least 4 or 5 times as many people, Comrade Stalin's Gulags eliminated nearly 30 million people during just his multi-decade reign.

Chairman Mao and others in that generation of the CCP are responsible for more than 50,000,000 FIFTY million dead chinese (either ethnic undesirables or through the various cultural "reforms") prior to the 1979 ascent of actual reform under Chaiman Deung.

This is not to suggest China has been or is any way becoming some workers paradise (quite the opposite), but rather that plainly put less bodies have been produced over the last 30 years than in the previous 30 years.

Given the proportions, NAZI's might be more deadly pound for pound given their shorter "term of service" but on absolute numbers, communism has made far more people terminally inconvenienced than their fascist competition.

Answer 3

Both are historically closed society governments run by cowards who attempt to crush opposing views.

Communist governments almost always end up under the control of a dictator that runs the whole show like any proud fascist, only still claiming to be a good communist.

Oxymoron, I know.

There's no such thing as a good communist or fascist for that matter.

Answer 4

The Communists killed over five times as many people as the Communists, and ran rampant over a longer period of time, in which it spread it's imperialist oppression in more places than Germany's National Socialist or Mussolini's Fascism.

In an event, they are all just different forms of socialism, neo-feudalism, designed to crush and subvert human will to a centralized totalitarian state by any means deemed necessary.

Answer 5

Absolutely. F u c k Joe McCarthy.

In answer to peacenegotiator, democracy (or the distorted form of it you get under a capitalist economy) is no better, but any attempt to try it (democracy) under a communist economy has been met with CIA-sponsored sabotage in order to preserve the illusion that communism necessarily means totalitarianism.

Also remember that when capitalism has too strong a hand, as it has since Reagan, democracy itself is an illusion covering up the reality of fascism.

justgood: Right On!

Answer 6

In regards to the past- Communists undeniably are responsible for more death, poverty and destruction than Nazis.

However the moral "spirit of Communism" is far superior than that of Nazi Fascism. Communism in its purest sense seeks to bring the working class to the forefront of society. Nazi Fascism was all about mass murdering and world domination. I dare someone to challenge that their was meant to be "good" coming out of Fascist regimes.

What made- and makes communism worse is that it is a wolf in sheeps clothing- the people behind the communist movements abuse their power and use communism to further their own agendas not really revealling the true nature of their schemes. They leaders say it is good for the working class- the working class believes it.

The atrocities commited in the name of communism and fascism cannot be condoned- or compared. Communisim itself is no worse than Fascism- it is how it was utilized.

Answer 7

I would not take either home to meet mom!
But if all three of us had guns...and in a dark alley....Nobody else around...I would let the commy take care of me by shooting the Nazi...and then I would stand on my own two feet and shoot the commy before he figured out I didn't need him anymore!

Answer 8

May I attach to Mark T's answer that democracy (USA) has killed 1.3 million Vietnamese (Vietnam War) and has used chemical weapons against these people in an immoral war and 2 million innocent Iraqis (part-Hebrew population, Kurd, Sunni, and Shia) by high-tech weaponry and high-level bombing that could be considered to be WMD, from 1991 to 2007. Let's not forget those figures. And many of these people were killed in cold-blood. Is democracy any better?

Answer 9

No. They both are horrible...
Little recognized Fact: Communism Killed More People than Nazi Fascism.

Communism by some estimates has led to the deaths of anywhere from 40 to 260 Million People.

But Really Fascism is an Ideology, not a form of Government.
Nazism was a form of Socialism, Communism is a form of Socialism.

I believe that both are forms of Fascism.

Answer 10

Fascism and Communism are in reality the same thing. When the individual loses power and the power becomes centralized in the state all hell breaks loose and millions of innocent people are killed ruthlessly. History is in-your-face proof.

Historically, power is shifted to the state by:
- wealth redistribution
- progressive income tax
- loss of gun rights
- nationalization of industries
- massive social programs
- apathy of citizens about corruption in govt.

Which side are you on? and why?

Edit: mattmono, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"... i think that defines the history and future of communism
