I think my high school history teacher just rolled over in his grave. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia had a certain amount of similarity, but that does not make the ideologies identical. Many would argue that Soviet Russia wasn't really Communist at all.
Also, you're acting like a child. Keep the conversation civil.
It's one thing to "act like a child" and it's another thing to shut up somebody who's insulting you or your country. He can go pineapple with his mother for all I care. But the ultimate underpinning, "unDERPinning, get it?" of talking to people is the golden rule, and since he chose to be an ass, I chose to be an ass back. It happens.
Regarding the two totalitarian regimes, I never said the ideologies were identical. It's actually right there, I said their ideologies appear to be the opposites. I said their substantive impact on the nations they tyrannized were identical. Nazi Germany was in cahoots with big business, while Soviet Russia was not, what I am saying is, both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were governed through terror, secret police, denunciations, and ultimately with genocide. Also, both regimes were dependent on war for viability. Nazi Germany's "positive things" that neo-Nazis harp on happened in preparation for war. And Soviet Russia having to put together the Red Army to survive WWII gave it a breath of life, where without that it may have collapsed long before it actually did.

It's nice to be back at SouthPerry, with its mix of guys like you and guys like Malthe. I remember Devil tried to convince me I don't own the copyright on my manuscripts, but rather on the bookshelf they're on, that's about the same as Malthe here.
I was one of the founding members, under the nickname of Quantact, that I changed to Derimed just before I left. That Poast emote was my evil creation. Aside from you and Eos, I am not sure anybody'll remember me. But, despite the years having passed, it's nice to see good ole Southperry. It seems to have survived Maple Story itself.
