What’s your point? Cos not all Germans were Nazis what? They shouldn’t have been met militarily and defeated on the battlefield? You’d employ teenage urges to stop the Nazi death machine from rolling across the world? Thank the Gods that you fools weren’t in charge back in the day. You’d have counseled jumping into the sea rather than shooting at a Nazi “worker”

The stupidity of this guy knows no limits…
Socialists don’t propose to be “in charge” anyway but assuming TS means by that a situation where we would be a truly mass movement – what would happen then? What would happen then is that capitalist states would find it virtually impossible to wage war anywhere. See, socialist ideas come as a package of ideas (and values). One of these ideas is our fervent opposition to the putrid and malevolent ideology of nationalism. The relationship between nationalist ideas and socialist ideas is an inverse one. One can only grow at the expense of the other. Fascism is only ultra-nationalism. It too will weaken and die along with ordinary nationalism as the workers’ movement grows
Apart from that, you don’t kill an idea by killing those who espouse it. Ideas arise from certain historical and material conditions. In TS´s muddled brain, the current war being waged by the far-right ultra-nationalist Putin regime is a war against “fascism”. He is feebly trying to justify the Putin regime’s pretext for invading Ukraine on the grounds that this is the only way you can defeat fascism.
But hold on – how come if fascism was defeated in WW2 that we are once again confronted with the spectre of fascism in the guise of the Ukraine regime not to mention NATO itself? So defeating the Nazis in WW2 did NOT destroy fascism at all, did it?
TS is effectively admitting that his whole strategy for defeating fascism – that is by “turning fascists into fertiliser” – is foredoomed to failure.
Little wonder nobody takes this idiot seriously here. His only value is to provide entertainment (and I must concede that he is indeed a most entertaining clown)
