stalin had private companies working in russia too, he had deals with henry ford for example. National socialism and socialism in one country were the same ideas. FDR's new deal was the same thing too.

So now you're calling FDR Communist?

Why not just say Capitalism doesn't exist? Everyone since the Ancient Egyptians were Communist according to you, even before Karl Marx was born?

yeah pretty obvious

Did you think the ancient egyptians were capitalist?

No, but they weren't Communist either.

I'm saying you have your economic definitions wrong if you think the U.S was ever Communist.

no one's really fully capitalist, no one's really fully communist or socialist, not accoding to the definitions of marx, there'd mixed market economies. Don't try to bring up the egyptians. Stay on the subject which was originally Hitler.

Whoever told you this, is either lying or greatly misinformed.

The Soviet Union, Cuba, Cambodia, East Germany etc where full on Marxist-Leninist Parties. They were elected (or forcibly seized power) and they preferred that the State run things, while aiming for a classless society.

When the Iron Curtain fell in Europe, Germany did not go from Communist regime to Communist again. The East got absorbed into an economy that was Capitalist. Same with many other countries that rebelled against their previous rulers.

Hitler also wasn't Communist either. He was never interested in an equal society. He may have advocated for better living conditions for Native Germans, but inequality was still just as much there.

you were lied to, years of propaganda will do that. I don't have time to instruct you on the real history but I'd just recommend you stick around this site, and have an open mind.

Except you're not being open minded if you claim everything is a Communist conspiracy.

Again, just look at the Fall of the Iron Curtain. What happened to people like Nicolae Ceaușescu or Erich Honecker who once enjoyed so much power before 1989?
