I have mixed feeling about ww2. Sure Germany killing Jews was bad but the real enemy was the USSR. And let's be real Stalin was worse than Hitler considering Stalin killed his own people. The cold war was inevitable USSR and USA were the two new superpowers. What do you guys think? Am not a Nazi *text deleted* but I personally see the USSR as worse than Nazi Germany.
Regardless of conspiracies on either side, Hitler and the Nazis are definitely propped up as the origin of evil in the West and from a young age, many children are shown movies and taught about what tragedies took place. Cruel acts from USSR (systemic genocide of own people) and the Allies (fire bombings of Dresden) are omitted. Though this should come as unsurprising as with any war, there is propaganda on both sides and the victor will (correct me I'm wrong) almost always paint themselves under a false light and their defeated foe under a false darkness. As the saying goes, history is written by the victor.
As to what's worse, communism or national socialism, I would defer to previous events on top of those that transpired in WWI & II such as Holodomor and, perhaps one of the most tragic, the Bolshevik era. So I would agree that communism is not only worse but the bigger threat. Imagine government enforcers coming to your family's home, stealing all your food, leaving you to starve. This is why self sufficiency and self-defence have become so important to me. Anyway, end of the day we live in a post-truth era, so making up you mind is as important as ever, lest it is made up for you. But in the end you could find yourself on the opposite end of truth.
