| Mr. Stacy Foster:
You state in your website:
"I believe Hitler's Third Reich was the greatest threat to freedom in
the history of mankind."
"Yes, the former Soviet Union with its
nuclear arsenal, and even more corrupt, socialist agenda may seem a more menacing
adversary, but they were destined to failure from the start. They never really
had a chance at surviving; it was just a matter of them running their course,
and the people realizing how wrong they truly were. Nazism was much different.
With a few very slight changes in history,we could all be wearing swastikas on
our uniforms right now."
Sir, Communism, which is not dead, is responsible
for the deaths of well over 100 million people, nearly all of them populations
under their control.. Hitler and the Axis powers of WWII were responsible for
25 -27 million people.
Communism is alive and well in China, the most
populous nation on earth, and in Viet Nam, and Cuba.
National Socialism
(Nazism) and International Socialism (communism) are two sides to the same coin.
The only difference between a socialist and a communist is the length of
time each is willing to take to achieve their objective.
Therefore, you
are wrong in your assessment of the greatest danger to freedom, which remains
communism/socialism, and you only need look at what's become of our own nation
in the years since WWII, at how socialist we ourselves have become. The "Bill
of Rights" is practically void, it has become so encumbered with qualifiers.
Our Taxes are repressive, very far removed from the lawful system set in place
by our founders, and used for purposes not called for in our constitution.
"America's Greatest Generation?" They won WWII, put 23 million
people behind the 'Iron Curtain' in Eastern Europe," made the world safe
for communism, ushered in the Cold War, and made Korea and Viet Nam possible,
this, while they presided over the sellout of our free heritage to the collectivist
trash-heap. America's Greatest Generation, indeed.
I challenge you to
prove me wrong.
John (My
thoughts on this...John you are correct with your facts, and I respect and even
agree with your opinion on what has occurred since WWII. However, as I stated
on the site, I believe Soviet style socialism restricts human nature so much that
it was destined to fail. From my understanding of Nazism...the human spirit was
able to flourish and suceed...as long as that human was Aryan of course. I'm not
sticking up for either as I despise both...however I think in the overall picture
of history...I still believe that Nazism was a greater threat.) I
would really appreciate your thoughts, comments and questions regarding the differences
between Communism, Nazism, and other forms of Socialism. Also...if you can help
any of our history buffs with their questions it would be greatly appreciated. Please
email comments to S.Foster@us.army.mil Thank
you. Sergeant Stacy Foster |
