Can we stop normalizing calling everything and everyone a Nazi and to normalize Nazi symbolism? I don't know how familiar you are with German history in detail, but it's way worse than what most people actually know. There is a reason why there has been a strict difference between Nazis and Neo-Nazis after the second world war. Sadly that distinction has been lost to the new generation now apparently.

Here’s a quote from a Lemmygrad admin if that helps:

The US committed a genocide and got away with it, the nazis attempted and failed at it. The concept of lebensraum is just the nazi equivalent of manifest destiny. Hitler says as much that he wants to emulate the US model of settler colonialism, in mein kampf.

So the only real difference between bourgeois democracy as a form of government, is that its much better at genocide than fascism was.

Is this...what all memes would be like under communism? I mean, I'm actually disappointed irl about the effort here. You've scraped a hole in the bottom of the barrel. Perhaps in search of potatoes.

Is your imagination of communism so little that you think there’s a Department of Memes that churns out state-sanctioned memes and you’ll be killed if you post a meme other than those? How would that even work?

I can't see The Treaty of Versailles on the one on the left. And the country on the left is older than the country on the right, n'est pas ?

Gallant sees two differences just off the bat.
