I see a lot of people recently calling Chamberlain “spineless” and saying that he “caved” to Hitler or “sold out Czechoslavakia in exchange for empty promises.” But this is really problematic because you’re not thinking of all the people who would’ve gotten hurt if this deal didn’t go through. I mean, nobody wants a repeat of the Great War. And look, I hate Hitler as much as anyone, but he’s given us his word that he’ll be content with taking only the Sudetenla-
Sorry, what’s that? Oh, I see.
As I was saying, Mr. Hitler has given us his word that he’ll be content with just annexing all of Czechoslavakia.
What was he supposed to do? Throw Europe into a major conflict, just because some fascist seizes power, removes any semblance of democracy, and starts terrorizing minorities?
Look, at the end of the day, capitalist or fascist, we might not see eye to eye on every little detail but it’s important to be the bigger person and reach across the aisle and give them every chance to stop being belligerent.
I mean, after all, if we can’t work together, then who’s going to kill all the leftists?
Leftists were on Hitlers side.
Is that why they literally fought him in the streets?
A very small minority of them did probably less than 1%. It is insignificant when compared with the amount of leftists that fully sided with them.
Do.you know what the Night of Long Knives was?
Because you seem to know very little of actual history.
Can you remind me how many leftists there were “fighting back” during the night of the long knives?
Also can you please remind me if socialism was popular with Germany workers also how many people supported the social democratic party.
Also please remind me of the number of citizens arrested for “resistance activities” the number of those that were communist or socialist and for good measure the population size of Germany at the time.
And please advise what the population of the USSR was at the time.
