‘Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024
‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970
I basically agree, it is usually not a good sign when Washington supports another régime, but it would be easy for somebody to argue that the U.S.S.R. during WWII was an exception because of Imperial America’s propaganda support therefor and, of course, the lend-lease pack that antisocialists never tire of overrating.
Aha, but that would include the Soviet Union during World War II! Checkmate!
Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes

The new center was soon embroiled in a scandal: in October 2008 the journal Respect published a text stigmatizing the celebrated writer Milan Kundera for having ‘given’ a young student, Miroslav Dvořáček, to the Communist police in 1950. In fact, the accusation was organized by an institute employee, Adam Hradilek, a relative of Dvořáček.¹⁵
From that moment forward, the center and those running it have been the target of ever more incisive criticism. Jiří Pehe, former advisor to President Vaclav Havel and current director of the New York University in Prague, commented: ‘From its inception this Institute was occupied by people with a Jacobin style of managing history.’ His next remark leaves no room for doubt: ‘The [Institute’s] board reflects the political reality of who is in power.’¹⁶

Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile
https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=1127863
Archaeology […] was annexed to a political process, that of the official condemnation of communism, its role being to provide new incriminating evidence to confirm and supplement already known data about the communist repression (assembled from archive documents, testimonies of former political prisoners, eyewitnesses, local memory, etc.).
Interestingly, none of the archaeological texts regarding the exhumations has been published in academic journals or volumes; they have been published on the website of the IICCR/IICCMER and, most of them, in the journal of the Foundation Memoria (established in 1990 by a former political prisoner), suggestively titled Memory. Journal of Arrested Thought (in Romanian), a journal with an anti-communist, Eurocentrist and Christian discourse.
Huh, how strange. Could it be…
IICCR, subordinate to the Romanian government and coordinated by the prime minister
Wow! The capitalist governments facilitating the Nakba are the same ones funding these hopelessly corrupt anticommie think tanks?
I’m so surprised!
I have not researched the Fascists’ aggression on U.S. merchant vessels prior to December 1941, but the Fascists did, for byspel, intercept neutral vessels such as the Kingdom of Sweden’s Gurtrud Bratt on Sept. 24, 1939 because they were heading for Allied régimes like the United Kingdom, and we know for a fact that Swedish capitalists were generally on good terms with the Fascists anyway.
Apart from .world blocking Lemmygrad content, the other reason that I am not bothering to engage directly with this anticommunist is that I know that they’ll defend Finland the nanosecond that anybody brings it up, proving that all their hype over the Molotov Cocktease Pact is based on false pretenses. (Sometimes, merely mentioning the word ‘Finland’ is enough to make generic anticommunists immediately drop their make-believe antifascism.) Try telling anticommunists that the Fascists knew from experience that Soviet demands were ‘much harder to meet than Finnish demands’, and watch how little they’ll care.
Corporate America could have been an Axis power with the sheer amount of stuff that it was marketing to the Third Reich throughout its existence. Personally, I think that that was far more consequential than the German–Soviet transactions of 1939–1941, and that anticommunists can blow that off as ‘no biggie’ is another reason that I cannot take their obsession over the German–Soviet Pact seriously.
Even if September 1939 should be set as the starting point for WWII (which it should not be), the Slovak Republic played a significant rôle in invading Poland with the Third Reich, and its contribution therewith was much more of a joint effort than the Red Army’s intervention in western Ukraine. It is strange that the anticommunist’s source said nothing at all about the Slovak Republic, almost as if its omission were a political decision and the Warsaw Institute has no interest in honest education. Hmmm…
Oh, and if massacring élites were the only way to negate capitalism, it seems that the DPRK missed the memo when it disprivileged landlords.
Those survey data are highly misleading. Even if U.S. businesses never withheld or consciously distorted their economic reports, they still cloaked hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Third Reich assets. In many cases, U.S. businesses simply exported their wealth indirectly to the Third Reich by using other dictatorships of the bourgeoisie (e.g. the Spanish State) as intermediaries.
Morons? Yeah, the Germans who support the occupation of Palestine are morons. We know that already.
Gaza is, by far, the safest and most well fed place on Earth. There is not a single civilian anywhere in there who feels the least bit peckish. I was in there yesterday and everybody told me that they were having nothing but the time of their lives, constantly eating all of their gourmet meals generously provided by the IDF. If given the choice between taking my family to either Disneyland or Gaza, I would choose Gaza without a second’s hesitation. Easily. No contest.
The only conceivable reason that the United Nations, the ICRC, The Lancet, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and more than one hundred other organizations would condemn the war on Hamas is that they want to exterminate the Jewish race, just like anybody who opposes the Ukrainian government is a Russian troll who wants Putin to annex Ukraine and genocide millions of European people with blond hair and blue eyes. If all of those thousands of so-called ‘experts’ and ‘scholars’ had my superior brain, they’d agree wholeheartedly.
The IDF are the most moral army in the world and are not oppressing anybody whatsoever in Gaza. I’m not saying that the IDF are perfect, but if you found evidence of the IDF committing war crimes, it wasn’t evidence of the IDF committing war crimes. So relax, keep calm and everything will be perfectly fine as long as you keep sending us those tax dollars. I promise.
Signed,
Benjamin Netanyahu
