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.
Yup. They had a major policy change following the Tienamin square massacre and shifted from Maoist communism to National Socialism. Chinese doctrine forbids them from saying anything other than what Mao sanctioned... but we all know the truth.
I mean, shit, Xi even pulled the same stunt as Hitler and got the Chinese government to change the law making Xi President for life.... and still Apple and Nike and the rest keep paying them to make their shitty products to sell around the world.
