Imagine you are an alien who wanders into both countries.
- Nazi Germany, you see:
- military on the street asking for papers
- secret police monitoring everyone
- picture of supreme leader hung up everywhere
- dissidents sent to labor camps
- USSR, you see:
- military on the street making sure you comply
- secret police monitoring everyone
- picture of supreme leader hung up everywhere
- dissidents sent to labor camps
Some people think Nazi Germany's system was far different than a communist country. On the things I care about it wasn't.
I thought Hitler told the banks to kick rocks and printed his own money, thats why the banks sent the world after Germany?
In both wars from Great Britain's perspective the problem was Germany was a competing regional power they didn't want overtaking them. From the Zionist perspective they wanted Palestine.
From FDR's perspective he wanted to help the Soviets because he was a commie at heart. His second VP pick (which the party forced him to change) was as close to a card carrying communist as he could be without saying it directly.
