CMV:The extreme social repugnance we show to self identified Nazi's should also be applied, and with just as much disgust, as a self identified communist.

I grew up in a multicultural part of the country. Emerson said, “I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” Emerson could of also added how the people we know in our life also make us who we are, and are much more memorable, and impactfull, then the best book. In the spirit of that, let me introduce you to my next door neighbors growing up and a college professor I had the privilege of knowing for twenty years.

I am just old enough to of had as neighbors an elderly couple who survived a German concentration camp because the husband was a cobbler and the wife was a vintner, who made made vinegar and jarred pickled vegetables for the guards, the wife told me that what killed most the people in this camp was "banal" starvation. I was one of those children who had that mixture of curiosity and ignorance that adults found charming instead of insulting. When I first met these neighbors I was six, my first question was, "Why did both of you get tattoos like that." My mother almost feinted, the wife laughed and the husband turned red. She answered all the questions I had for the next ten years that we were neighbors, her and her husband helped shape my opinion on this.

The most influential man I have had the pleasure knowing, aside from my father, was a college professor in the US. He was also alive during WW2, he escaped a Russian Gulag sometime after the war and lived/hid in Eastern Germany for a decade before escaping into Western Germany and then making it to the US. After he made it to the US he got a high school diploma, got accepted to a college and then accepted into a history doctorate program. He told me how in the 60's, after he completed his doctorate, he applied for a professorship. He had a panel style interview and he knew who the interviewers would be for that college. More importantly he knew what the interviewers wanted to hear from a potential colleague. He intentionally used Marxist phrases, and falsely stated he mainly used a materialist view of history when writing about Ancient European/Mediterranean history for his published works. He waited until he had tenure to inform most of his colleagues how much he despised communism in all its forms and mutations. He said that seeing the look on theirs faces, at a conference of historians that his college hosted, brought him more satisfaction then anything he had done. This man helped shape my opinion of this.

I am neither trolling or being slightly disingenuous in my title. I see, and have seen, both as cancerous for twenty years.  I am more then willing to hear how, **either** of these amazing folks shaped my opinion incorrectly.  

As an aside posting this to another popular sub got me shadowbanned, so today is off to a bad start for changing my view.

The reason communism is bad is because its execution has always been poor. If we ended up with star trek it would be fine (not saying that's going to happen obviously). There's nothing inherently hateful in communism. It doesn't work when scarcity exists but it isn't advocating genocide even if it has happened.

The reason Nazism is bad is because it's inherently hateful. It will always be bad.
