Nazi collaborator’s name found on Victims of Communism monument
Nazi collaborator’s name found on Victims of Communism monument
Canadian Heritage engraved the nameplates before deciding who to commemorate
This has been a constant problem with this monument and will continue to be a constant problem because of its premise.
Tear it down and build something else.
How big would the “Victims of Capitalism” monument be?
You're living on it
"Nooooo you can't blame all these work related accidents on capitalism!!! They were isolated cases caused by specific companies!!!" - some dude I debated on Facebook, circa 2014
It will have roughly a diameter of 12'700 km.
At this point isn't this monument just a blatant anti-communist propaganda piece? If the people this monument honors are Nazis, then maybe building it at all was not a good idea.
Imagine if they try to save the monument and replace it with one with no names on it. Lol.
Victims of communism was created by the CIA to spread anti communist propaganda. There are few if any facts in any of their ridiculous statements.
The only real victims of communism were Nazis, kings, and people that aided those groups. Any monument with random names from 'victims' will only realistically have Nazis on it.
The only real victims of communism ....
That is 100% false. In the German Democratic Republic people got killed for trying to get out. Victims of communism as an organisation is bullshit, but there is no need to act as if there weren't some people who seriously died unfairly.
There were plenty of gay victims of (USSR) communism.
Of course, I'm sure the monuments these conservatives love don't have any of those names
Don’t they also count Soviet abortions as “victims of communism”?
If the people this monument honors are Nazis,
One name of a Nazi collaborator was found there. It's absolutely ridiculous to leap from that to "this is a monument honoring Nazis."
Millions of people were killed by Stalin. It's little wonder that a few objectionable names might be scattered among them.
Victims of Communism memorial faces call to remove over 330 names linked to Nazis, fascists out of 550! MOST OF THEM.
This has been known for a long time. Back in 2021 Victims of communism memorial received donations honouring fascists, Nazi collaborators, according to website
Millions of people were killed by Stalin
Ok, but was Stalin a communist? Because the USSR sure as hell didn't seem like a classless, stateless society
Thanks, Harper.
This should be higher. That was a conservative pet project, they suggest the names which give to things to think about 1- they’re fucking idiots that don’t know how to make research and thus shouldn’t be leading anything 2- they’re fine glorifying Nazi
Porque no los dos?
Shit, that's all of them
TBF, the decline of Germany and rise of Hitler did involve a lot of communist influence towards the start.
Kind of the same vibe as ruining a kids life and then being partially responsible for every bad thing he does.
They should remove the name tho.
Fascism emerged as an appropriation of revolutionary left strategies in service of right-wing ideology. That's why the Nazis adopted the name "national socialists." At the time the word socialist was used to refer to pretty much any populist working class movement. Blaming communists for fascism is a bit like seeing one of those spiders that mimics ants and blaming the ants.
Not everything anti-establishment is left or right. The strategies the nazis used were false flags and complete narrative control followed by regulatory capture, martial law, and then finally taking what they wanted by force.
If you claim those tactics for your ideology then I don't associate with you.
You're probably referring to right wing populism, right?
Haha what? This is a take I have never heard before. What part of hitlers ideology was influenced by communism exactly? Weird for the nazis to be influenced by an ideology that they actively hated and crushed as soon as they were in power haha
Gosh, I wonder what communism had to do with the rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The Weimar Republic laid the foundations for rejection of the democratic parliament, which Hitler then took advantage of to assume uncontestable power. The major reason Germany jumped to the conservative right politically was news of the political uprisings in Soviet Russia and the splitting of left factions into small uncooperative groups.
Hitler transformed the party to be strongly anti-communist and anti-bolshevist (though mostly bolshevist was used as a dogwhistle for jewish people), but the fact remains that Nazi Germany was built on the foundations laid by communists.
