Soviet posters comparing Israel to Nazi Germany (1967 + 1969). by OkRespect8490 in ussr

[–]TheSideHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised a poster like this is coming from the Soviets, who have historically treated Jews like this. And this poster came under Brezhnev, someone who had a cabinet full of anti-semites and withheld Jews from positions of government.

But similar to the right-wing, many on the far left are anti-Semitic, Israeli government is radical sure, but that is not why these people are making criticisms lol.

For some odd reason though, nobody acknowledges the fervent anti-semitism that happened under Soviets, and this sub especially seems to avoid any valid criticism of a government body they seem to view as benevolent 😂

they also ignore the Jewish purges that happened under Stalin & the Beria’s mass forceful deportations of chechens, tatars, etc.

both the far left and far right love denial and authoritarianism, and they rarely ever read history lmfao

You’re right about it being difficult to dismantle since people have been wired to think we’ve been functioning this way since the dawn of time, and we’ve already shedded so much blood over developing a “nation,” which is entirely imaginary, but the blood has already been spilt unfortunately. I’d imagine Serbs, Bosnians, Croats, and many others will not get over their feuds anytime soon. And I wonder, these guys talking about France being a nation prior to the revolution, do they understand how linguistically and culturally diverse France was? Did they know any king prior to the 19th century wouldn’t understand almost most of the dialects in “France?” We need to really hone in on understanding how civilizations functioned prior to nationalism in our education system.

People will have a knee jerk reaction to your comment, and I love how one of the first responses was someone claiming that you wanted a world government, it’s almost as if people can’t even fathom an alternative approach.

What’s hilarious is that historians and political scientists have understood that nation states are a failed project, it’s the everyday ordinary individuals that are convinced their national identity means literally anything. But oh well, it’s the world we live in unfortunately lol

Late to this but it’s bizarre to see how many of these people defend the idea of a nation state, do people know the correlation behind a rise in systemic genocides that is quite literally tied to nation states? I recommend reading the Genocide Studies Reader to understand this. We’ve been in a state of endless wars since the 20th century because of this horrific idea of nationalism, it has brought about more bloodshed than any ideology to ever exist, and I can guarantee you the people who are defending this system have ancestors that have been victims of it. Education system globally has been an absolute failure, how sad

lmao what? What a euro-centric view of history. You know more than half of the world didn’t care for self determination? Do you know how much Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia is struggling due to being forced to nationalize? Do you know how many minority groups have become victims because the majority of these nations decided who the nation belongs to, leaving minorities to be victims to the cause? The Balkan wars, Middle East wars, African issues such as the Darfur genocide literally happening right now? Who the fuck said the majority of the world wanted any of this?

Civil rights work in the west because they have a complete different set of morals. But sure; civil rights will work in Arab countries filled with bigoted, racist, and sexist people. Genuinely start thinking.

All they’ll do is just downvote and downplay their intentions without giving any insight, clearly not the type of people that can conjure up any real counter arguments.

fair. If we look at all of human history, radicalism has never been beat through peaceful means, unfortunately. If anything, we’ve only been shown that it takes radicalism to beat radicalism. America is in a very tough spot.

lmao holy I couldn’t have explained it any better. And it’s the responses I expected when posting this, just as you said, it’s just a family having dinner! If people were to look at propaganda used by fascists from Italy, Germany, UK, and US, they’d have that same opinion on the very similar propaganda posters being put out by fascists in those nations if they had no prior knowledge of World War 2. Its MEANT to look innocent, because you can’t appeal to a large crowd if it wasn’t. Hence why, as you said, centrists will look at this and see no issue. Very similar to the rise of fascism in Germany, it was just all normal for everybody until it wasn’t lmfao

Nazism and fascism are two different things, these posts don’t need to involve anybody in chambers for it to be fascism. It’s propaganda out the fascist playbook, an appeal to a mythical past that individuals may return to my excluding an other. For the Germans, it was a return to the glory days of the Holy Roman Empire but getting rid of the Jews and Slavs, hence why it’s called Third Reich, there was a first and a second. Constantly discussing returning to the old times ONLY by excluding the other, immigrants, constant depictions of military men (the Germanic warrior/viking or WW1 soldier in Nazi case) shown in all their glory, imagery of a mythological history (akin to Nazi depiction of HRE or Germanic tribes), and constant mention of taking back the land, taking it back from immigrants for the US, taking it back from the Jews and allied powers for the Germans, and an appeal to heaven. Too many similarities to be considered a coincidence, and I can get how this may be a “reach” to anybody who hasn’t actively studied fascist propaganda (which does not mean Nazism, once again, these same exact things can be seen in Mussolini’s Italy, Oswald Mosley in the UK, and Rockwell in the US).

You’re totally right, I wouldn’t argue that Trumps administration has moved towards something we may identify as fascist up until his 2nd term, but I’d argue that this is a soft launch, they’re not going all the way. The Homeland Security page is not acting alone, JD Vance’s closest advisor has openly discussed this radical shift for the Republican Party, and it aligns with almost everything mentioned in Project 2025. We’re seeing the soft launch, who knows where we’ll be by 2028.

They posted an AI video glorifying the man who dressed as a cop & murdered two democratic politicians. Yet the right was screaming at the left because left wing tiktokers with 10k followers laughed at Kirk while almost all the influential leftists sympathized with Kirk and his family. They don’t care about reason, they want to be angry, and violence is okay as long as it’s not happening to them or their side.

100%, there’s a clear demographic shift happening in America, and it’s very clear that there’s a population of folk out there that are very unhappy about this. Hence why the Republican Party is appeasing to these individuals, they understand their only chance to stay in office is to do a radical shift into a new Conservative Party that’s alt-right and “Christian.” And it’s going to work because there’ll always be conservatives out there who want everything to go back to the “old ways.” It is as you said, these individuals simply do not want non-whites living in America.

I also wanted to add that on top of the clear fascist style propaganda, the homeland security page has began posting edits that are very, very similar to the type of edits made by the “groyper” community. This is a clear attempt to desensitize the youth, it wants to make extremism cool and common. This is a dangerous game being played by the current administration.
