    The work camps in Nazi Germany had the explicit goal, discussed in letters of the people running them, of bringing the interned to their “natural end”, i.e. work them to death, and many people were indeed killed this way.

      Nazism, like all forms of fascism, falls apart without an enemy. Even if they managed to kill all the Jews and Slavs, people would still be murdered on the suspicion of being Jews and Slavs for as long as Nazis are in power.

        i’ve long held that if fascists couldn’t designate a racial or national enemy, they’d play up the distinction between men and women as their primary struggle. And if they couldn’t do that they’d go after certain age groups. They’d find something.

        i think that’s part of the reason fascists in America have latched so heavily onto being anti-LGBTQ. They’re slowly realizing that open racism is broadly unpopular, so they’re flailing about trying to coherently designate a different enemy. What they fail to realize is unspoken racism is perfectly permitted in America, but they can’t help themselves. They have to say the quiet part.

      Stalin made people work until they were well into their mid-60s, which was a real tragedy given that life expectancy in pre-Soviet Russia was the early-30s. Dude forced you to work two full lifetimes! That’s where Communism gets you.

    Now one negative aspect ofcourse was the extermination of people apart of the LGBT community

    I can excuse genocidal anti Semitism, racism, and antiziganism, but I draw the line at genocidal homophobia

      Is if the Nazis wouldn’t have turned on each other after the genocide of undesirables was completed.

      One of the dangerous things about fascism that people seem to not understand is that it never ends. They have to have an enemy to consume because they can create nothing themselves. It is ultimately a self harming ideology. A species chewing its own legs off because it finds them too unsightly.
