We are inundated with anti-Hitler propaganda in the Western media; Hitler, Nazism, it is suggested, is the most evil frenzy that ever griped humans. However, there has been worse if we are measuring evil by death toll. For example, from 1945 – 1991 the U.S.S.R killed 22,400,000 people; those people were “class enemies”, repatriated Soviet nationals, dissidents, and national minorities [1]. Let’s compare the death toll of the Communist Soviet Union to that which was totted up during Hitler’s period in power. One figure for the death toll of German Fascism during that period is 10,500,000 [2].
Gripped by Communist thought, the Soviet Union killed almost twice that of Hitler and yet, one would be forgiven for concluding, by viewing Western media, that Hitler was the most evil man in history. And let us not forget that human history is a litany of inter-group violence in which rivers of blood have been spilled. Why then are we inundated with references to the evils of Hitler, Nazism and nationalism and not the evils of communism from which modern liberalism has sprung? Is it, I wonder, to create an association between nationalism and evil in the public mind-set? Given the dominance of liberalism among elites, I would not be surprised if an anti-nationalist agenda was indeed being pursued.

Liam,
See the way in which Oliver Stone has been forced to backtrack after making this statement.
You are absolutely correct in what you say. Indeed you could have said much more. Stalin’s grandson is a US Senator. Can you imagine Hitler’s grandson, if such existed, ever reaching that status?
The Japanese committed horrendous war-crimes which are scarcely mentioned nowadays.
The answer lies in the power of the Jewish media. Jews own 94% of the world’s media and use it on turbo to promote Jewish causes. The holocaust is a great card to play.
This means that Adolf was a bad guy. Very bad and badder. If he was right in any way to defend his homeland from Jewish exploitation, the whole edifice of Jewish ‘innocent victim’ status collapses.
Get it now?
It’s hardly unreasonable, it is just that Stalin et al haven’t been demonised (correct spelling btw – we are not in the USA) sufficiently.
I think in part it has to do with the creation of “the evil other” and Hitler and the Nazis being a vanished regime fitted the bill well. There were attempts to demonise the soviet regime too. An Adam curtis documentary. It’s not really since world war 2 either. During Imperial Russia The Tsars were regarded by that particular tribe which I won’t name as being Hitlers ancestors because they were restricted to a particular geographic area around the south west of the Russian empire. There was sugestions of rampant antisemitism some of which may have been justified but all the populace suffered under the Russian aristocracy.

Maybe I should have been a bit more explicit. I mean it is unreasonable to constantly refer to Hitler’s deeds and not refer to Stalin’s etc. – it is as though no one ever did the sort of thing which Hitler did!
As for the spelling – I knew something was “wrong” but couldn’t put my finger on it.
