We beat 'em before...

Yo, I know I'm kinda late with this but please provide alt text when you're posting here in the future

Also this isn't exactly a meme either

Apologies. Alt text added!
- Thank you for adding good quality alt text! ^w
  Also I didn't mean to sound harsh in the post above, you could post similar content over on c/Socialism next time

By killing them. You can't defeat a nazi in debate, but you can hang them.

You can’t defeat a nazi in debate
Yes, you can. As long as you're not a liberal.

We never beat them.

The west ensured that Nazism survived, filling the ranks of West Germany's security services with them and then institutionalising fascist terrorist groups all throughout Europe through it's "Gladio" networks. Japan's economy was essentially just handed back to the very same pack of colonialists and industrialists that had fuelled Japan's imperialism in the 20s.

Hell, even the Romanian Communist Party got in on the act - those vicious Iron Guard bastards were just too good at torture and murder to pass up, I guess.

So no... we never beat them.

Maybe it's too pedantic of me but I think we beat them. We failed to fix the corrupted system that spawned them. The inequity and the propaganda, The oligarchs pitting a us against each other. Marginalizing groups as scapegoats.
We (the US) let those little those freedom checks and balances we were touted in school be destroyed with barely a whimper
- Scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds - see, that's how you can tell that we did not, in fact, defeat the fascists - if we did, liberalism would be dead and buried, too.
  Instead, we allowed "liberal democracy" to nurse fascism back to health, hone it's murderousness by using it as a tool of colonialist domination, and pretend to be shocked when these fascists just suddenly show up to protect their precious capitalist status quo back home in the imperial core.
  None of that was an accident - when we say fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost we don't mean it figuratively.
- You're wrong, they did not fail it was intentionally.
  US/UK made sure plenty of fascists escaped after surrendering to them.
  Kept them in power in all of Europe with a slap on the wrist at most.
  How many nazis where trialed at the Nuremberg virtue signaling trials? 24.
  NATO literally had fascist regimes in it, Spain, Portugal, Greece.
  Even leading NATO/EU and various countries. .
  All of this has been swept under the carpet.

- LOL, even the Naz!s knew the problem with that! "(c) that non-Germans shall be prohibited by law from participating financially in or influencing German newspapers, and that the penalty for contravening such a law shall be the suppression of any such newspaper, and the immediate deportation of the non-Germans involved. The publishing of papers which are not conducive to the national welfare must be forbidden."
  Of course, then they then go too far with: "We demand the legal prosecutions of all those tendencies in art and literature which corrupt our national life, and the suppression of cultural even which violate this demand."

Pepe did nothing wrong

Yeah I thought we had moved past this whole pepe is alt-right thing. He's a beloved little goof.
- The Nazis can take my little pepes out of my cold dead hands

It's already been done. I've seen tons of regular ho-hum non-racist Pepes the past few years since Matt Furie killed off the character in the official comics.
- I mean the vast vast majority of them have always been innocuous. The racist ones were always very rare pepes
Be the change you want to see in the world.
They never had pepe on their side it was just a scam
From the only licensed Pepe plush.
From Boy’s Club comics to appropriated alt right symbol (WT actual F tho), Pepe has often been misunderstood. That's why we work with his creator Matt Furie to make the only officially licensed Pepe toy out there. Feels good man.
We partner with youth shelters and people who care to make sure all of our goodies do some good...ies.
no

But the call is coming from inside the house this time.

The call was always coming from inside the house - fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost, after all.
- “Fascism is imperialism turned inwards.”
Yeah, the two most prominent examples of fascism in history (Germany and Italy) were only beaten by a combined military power much, much greater than them. Even as they were literally being bombed into rubble and their military situation was beyond hopeless, they never overthrew their fascist leaders.
- Maybe they're only the most prominent b/c they weren't stopped?
  Remember the mid-2000's Ukrainians Orange revolution? I wouldn't be surprised you don't b/c those fasciat losers were stopped from within, so we don't talk about them too often. Which is good, honestly.
- Yep. And the most prominent fascist power that wasn't overthrown externally (Francoist Spain) lasted 40 years until it's demogogue died. The reason it wasn't a bigger problem for the world at large was that it was a politically isolated minor power.
  The world hasn't yet seen something like an (openly) fascist modern USA.
- Japan killed well over twenty million people.
I came here to write this exact statement I'm glad to see somebody else already did.

Down with MAGA!

The USA supported the Nazis in the beginning and were reluctant to intervene. Then we did and took all the credit. It was to weaken Russia. Now the world is a global capitalist hellhole. Chynah is capitalist and Russia is capitalist. You are a subject. You are not free. Freedom is relative and bound by natural law. Unions need leverage. Thank gawd all men die.

It was for a variety of reasons that all aligned ~~when German u-boats sank the lusitania.~~. Wait that was WW1. I've gotta go read some wikipedia.

More left victory memes for the cause ❤️

Unionists versus the confederates all over again, history definitely repeats itself

The unionist versus confederate war never ended, it just went into a cold war phase for awhile and is now heating up again.

The Soviets beat them. LOL
Shows how much you 'socialists' know.

No country alone beat them. The Soviets did more than the others but it wasn't them alone
- 85 fucking percent.
  You can dislike that all you want, these are facts.

Bro leave Pepe out of this ;w;

The trouble is: the poster misrepresents the situation. The guy wearing the red hat is the one holding the rifle and bayonet this time.

So were the nazis. We just out rifle'd and bayonette'd them.
- I've been saying for a while that the left in the US needs to embrace the 2nd ammendment.
  Dark times are fast approaching... be prepared
Sounds like you better fix that
I'm being downvoted for pointing out an obvious discrepancy, one that needs to be recognized and reckoned with?
In WW2 the full federal might of the United States government and armed forces were aligned against the Axis.
Which side is the administration on now? Against whom were the National Guard and Marines deployed against this week? Reality check time.
Does it make you feel better to lash out and rage against people who agree with you, who are on your side and opposed to the bullshit we're all facing? Slipping into a comfy fantasy, where we imagine the "good guys" have the guns and power this time, isn't productive, unless it's motivating you to arm yourself and build solidarity. Do you have your rifle and bayonet? I do. Are you supporting people who are with you, or are you just sitting in your chair screaming at the wrong people on the Internet?

I'm old now and I'm still not a Nazi, fuck off.
Fuck this nonsense, you’re just a kowtowing coward fuck, I have become far more progressive in my old age. You’re just a fucking coward and a tool making excuses for your lack of spine, we are not all as weak as you.
"nooo, don't call the fascists fascists, they are just conservatives pining for a non-existent, ethnopurist, mythical past while deporting people to camps using emergency powers. That's like, totally not fascism."

That's the spirit 👍

Guys you lost.

Put on a russian, blue hat with red arrow and winni puh too <3
