They call for ''**dictatorship** of the proletariat'', with all the conclusions that come from it. In all the states that tried to install Communism or ''advanced Socialism'' or whatever you want to call them, no democracy and no other powers aside from Communist party were allowed to have any say in anything. In fact if you tried to disagree with the Communist party, you were branded a traitor or a enemy and attacked in all of them

The funny thing is that in the initial phase of the rebellion, many members of the communist party in the USSR wanted to deal with it diplomatically and to resolve it peacefully. For example, Soviet Marshall Georgy Zhukov (who wanted to fully cooperate diplomatically and economically with the west after the war) really wanted that the new Government taking power in Hungary had a fair amount of independent power and that reforms to make them more independent of the USSR should be made.

The tanks sent in Budapest soon after the expulsion of the communist regime were only sent to calm the "rebellion", they didn't expect the Hungarians to shoot Molotov cocktails at them. Even after that, many people in the Soviet government wanted to support the uprising, but being too few to take proper action, they had to let the situation develop.

The reason why diplomatic actions weren't taken and that tanks and infantry were once again sent to Budapest is actually because of the things the Hungarians did. Their support in the Soviet government disappeared once they started to hang and shoot Hungarian communist politicians, even Zhukov didn't support them at this point. For the Soviets, something had to be done quickly, and the false rumors spreading that western nations were sending material to the uprising didn't help.

I do not defend or demonize any side in my comment. It is simply to explain that it was a complicated diplomatic event that cannot be resumed to one side being evil because they wanted to.

Also, I could argue that the USSR killed less than the Nazis and that there was a big change during and after Stalin's regime but that is beyond the point.

''if you dont like Soviets, you are automatically a Nazi'' bullshit, how braindead must one be to actually believe that, especially when we are talking about time almost 2 decades after World war 2 had ended and a country that had been in Communist block for that entire time period. Many of those who fought on those streets were members of Hungarian communist party themselves, yet people like you call them ''Nazis'', just beautiful

Also I love you writing ''Radical nationalists'', they are in their own goddam country

That's right, the Nazis, 11 years after the end of the war. Not only that, I will tell you a terrible secret (only you don’t tell anyone, this is a secret!), The Nazis still exist, the real ones, and they don’t even hide from the public. In Eastern Europe there are especially many of them.

If you study the topic of the Hungarian uprising with available documents, rather than with politicized newspaper articles where "freedom fighters" are glorified, you will learn what the "Crossed Arrows" organization is. What are the former officers and military personnel of the Khortyts (the Hungarian army of Admiral Horthy) and what role they played in the rebellion.

Naturally, all these guys called themselves "democrats" and "socialists", will they not openly state their real political plans?))

I understand that you don’t like that the opponents of the countries of the communist bloc are often called "Nazis" ... but there is one problem - unfortunately, the Western forces very often resorted to the help of right-wing and nationalist organizations in the fight against the USSR and its allies . It was like this all over the world, and now they also don't like to remember about it.

A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916

 A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. 108 years ago today, the Battle of Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of World War I, came to an end. The battle lasted for 10 months and resulted in over 700,000 casualties, including some 300,000 killed. The Germans designed Verdun to be a battle of attrition. The German Chief of Staff, General Erich von Falkenhayn, planned to "bleed the French white" and lure them into a battle where they would suffer heavy casualties, hoping to break their will to fight. The Germans targeted Verdun because it was a heavily fortified stronghold, and its fall would be a blow to French morale. Despite extensive German preparations, the French were largely unprepared for the offensive. The initial bombardment allowed the Germans to advance and overrun the first French defensive lines. German forces captured Fort Douaumont, the largest and highest fortification on th...

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn

Naked Jewish women from the Mizocz ghetto wait in a line before their execution by the German Order Police with the assistance of Ukrainian auxiliaries, 1942. They are carrying their children Literally to the grave. Damn. Between East and West Germany, the west was much more Nazi. Prominent Nazis made a concerted effort toward the end of the war to surrender to the Western allies who would treat them better, and were then incorporated into government and military command. You didn't have people like Adolf Heusinger, Franz Halder, or Hans Speidel running around in East Germany. You didn't have leadership like Adenauer pushing to halt denazification in East Germany. Saying all the nazis "switched hats and went to communist East Germany" is like saying males produce estrogen. Sure they do a tiny bit, but is that really the gender you associate with estrogen? One of the facts that I learned about the Holocaust from my grandfather that has stuck with me even up throug...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
