following his execution on April 28th, 1945, his body was hung upside down from a girder in the middle of Piazzale Loreto in Milan for people to insult, throw things at, etc etc
Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.
He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it’s highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he’s slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.
Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):
Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).
Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna
The USSR did very well (and wasn’t just the RSFSR, but instead a federation of socialist republics). So well, in fact, that life expectancies doubled due to the advancements in development and social safety nets in socialism:
Complaining about communist “denialism” when the original claim is just generic Red Scare fearmongering doesn’t really make sense. What are communists denying, specifically? The idea that the communists were as bad as the Nazis? Such a claim is so thoroughly ahistorical that it doesn’t take a communist to find that absurd.
Public ownership was the principal aspect of the soviet economy. The existence of commodity production does not mean an economy is not socialist, it just means it has not completed the transition from capitalism to communism. The soviet economy was not based on commodity production and the profit motive, but a social plan and the fulfillment of need.
The post mid-1920s govt expanded the development of capital, made medium-sized business possible and killed many of the most important theorists and revolutionaries. Then there was a reaction to that mid 1950s which culminated in the USSR completely abandoning the international struggle. The period between 1945-1970 cemented freaking patriotism as a “revolutionary doctrine” and perverted the memory and meaning of revolution as a result of the development of national-capitalism, i.e. trade with other nations and a central party of bureaucrat managers subordinating the worker and ripping the effort out of their hands. The USSR became the devil child of the reformist tendency adorned with the horns of the New Deal and futurist Italy, I would go as far as to call it the wet dream of the MSPD parliamentarian.
Socialism should build communism. This however was decades-long, and in its last decades largely unmoving, social democracy.
Lemmy was made by communists, and this is the developer-run instance. Communists are very common here as a consequence. Generic Red Scare fearmongering about the communists being as bad as the Nazis, or even comparable at all, is so thoroughly ahistorical that it’s no wonder at all why they’d be downvoted.

A bit off topic, but where could I apply for a position as an Italian?
I do not have any relevant experiences in that job, but have been to Italy once (plus once for a few hours 20 years ago). Maybe that helps.
That’s more than most people in the US who call themselves italian. You’re hired.
Lmao

Anywhere that you can go beat up on the Acheans.
Can someone please forgive my ignorance and explain why is Mussolini upside down? Thanks
following his execution on April 28th, 1945, his body was hung upside down from a girder in the middle of Piazzale Loreto in Milan for people to insult, throw things at, etc etc
TIL, thanks
No problem, it’s because he was hung upside down after being shot to death by a communist Italian partisan
TIL, thanks

Social demokkkrat on social demokkkrat violence
Plus civilians, which don’t seem to count here
They’re making fun of some of the most ardent civilian killers of all time.
I think it is more another case of “us vs them” tankie denialism. West is evil, no doubt, but Russia didn’t do to well either.

Yeah let’s exchange commodities and call that socialism.

I want to make extra sure you know that Russia and the USSR are different countries.
Lemmy was made by communists, and this is the developer-run instance. Communists are very common here as a consequence.

But we count it!
Here the list, if you don’t like it go talk to Canada
Why are there so many Nazi soldiers on that list?

They say it’s a numbers game, but I’m very skeptical their going to find enough biters here. Like honestly, what’s the endgame with this?
Eat shit. Then wash it down with piss. Thank you.
