Communists in GOIO

Mein kampf is an autobiography written by Hitler in which he even states that his view is extreme, historically speaking it is so biased it cannot be used on its own to gain a balanced opinion. And I did say I do not agree with the way he went about enforcing the ideology.
At no point did I say all were volunteers, just a larger percentage than people realized.
Finally my  great grandfather also survived a WW2 Labour camp (though Japanese, not Russian or German) so plz don't try pulling  family.
I sincerely apologize if I offended you, I was simply stating facts as I believe them about two political  ideologies, in no way was I defending the monsters who used them to justify their actions and am sorry if it came across that way.
I cannot comment on current ISIS events as I know very little about them, but to the best of my knowledge they are Islamic terrorists using the Islamic religion as a cover up for the crimes they commit

I cant belive people dont notice this.

The swastika that of nazis is crooked. While swastikas that of ancient times or positive uses of today arent. I havent seen any swastikas that are crooked and meant for good while crooked swastikas was always coming from the nazi flag.

Think of it in a way of reversing the christian cross as a way to showcase a polar opposite of its meaning. you know, antichrist.


In anycase, Omniraptors first comment pretty much sums up the whole topic.
As much as the negative use of swastikas does present and remind people of the second world war, communism does not and did not, it was part of the war but it wasnt in the symbol of cleansing people they dont want out of the world. Seriously there is a huge difference.

Communism mostly symbolised the work of the people rather than an ideaology as radical/extreme as the nazi. Communism as old as it is, did have bad history but that isnt solely based on its negativities and isnt meant that way either. In the times of nationalities it was important for all countries to classify allies and axis. Because nationality pride i donnu...


And again, it is ironic seeing someone with a nuclear profile pic talk about taking away negative symbols.

@Schwalbe
Did you just play the German card? (it is like the race card if you are black)

Queso:
I'd actually like to apologize for my previous post. In my previous post I was speaking both of my opinion on the subject and as a moderator, which could easily be misinterpreted. There is merit to this discussion that I don't intend to quell by imposing my opinion as the way I moderate. I will not be removing my post since it's already part of the discussion, but I will likely be avoiding further discussion or moderation of this topic, since I am too involved in it.

Mr disaster while I agree that those events were horrific and should be treated as such, by that theory Christianity should be illegal due to the crusades, Muslims should be punished for their countless Jihads over the years, Egyptians should be persecuted for their enslavement of the Jews ect... Though none of these events are justifiable in any way shape or form in my opinion there is no point dwelling on what a symbol or ideology was used to represent by one or several prominent members, as a general rule every ideology would work in theory but none of them can in reality, there will always be people who  use and exploit religion or politics to justify their actions, but does that really mean all religion and politics should be outlawed?
