    Well, it is true that differences were far less than what some people would have you believe... it was a war essentially of alliance of lesser evil and greatest evil against alliance of middle evil and great evil. World War II basically created modern "good vs evil" narrative, but the last...

    Considering what Communists and other socialists did in the 1918 - 1930 period, nobody sane would have defended them even had Tyranids come to Earth. It is easy to be a general after the battle, but back in 1930s nobody knew how evil Nazis would turn out to be... mostly because nobody had read...

    But in this case, moon really is made of cheese. And worse, it only takes one look by naked eye to confirm it. FFS, if you compare Nazi and Soviet economy, there is no difference: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/64262/sovietnazieconom00temi.pdf

    "Everyone engaging with the topic in an academic nature" being who exactly? And even if that is true, show me the evidence. If you are so well-read in academics as to make that claim, you should have no issue doing that, right? But I doubt you will - you certainly are ignorant enough to be a...

    To be fair, that actually is an OK reason to hate somebody. Doesn't change the fact that it resulted in political illiteracy though.

    They were socialists. Communism was supposed to be modelled on Marx's (bullshit) ideas of stone age. Socialism was supposed to be transitional stage of "state control" which would "enable" transition into the Stone Age inspired communism. Technically, "Communist" states were really socialist...

    No, it is not natural. Palace economy is literally bureocratic tyranny: an attempt to turn entire population into ruler's slaves through control of resources. Which is literally what Communist regimes did. And all of those places either destroyed themselves, were destroyed, or found a better...

    Socialism is a mentally retarded experiment that has nothing to do with nature or society, let alone natural state of society. And yes, palace economics are exactly the same as socialism.

    Wrong. As late as 1942 Hitler stated that land was "national property, and in the end only given to the individual as a loan.". In practice, this meant that individual owned the land on paper, but state decided what said individual can do with said land. Wrong. Nazis sought middle class...

    I am just objectively right here. But you are the one who is shouting with fingers in your ears because you are a socialist and you don't like the idea of your favorite ideology being outed as a genocidal crackpot theory that it really is. But the fact remains that Nazis were socialist in their...

    It is in their name. And their political program. And their actual actions. Literally the only way for anyone to say that Nazis weren't socialists is burying head in the sand and screaming LALALA at the top of his lungs. But you apparently think that marxists.org is an objective source. I...

    "Fascistic" is a meaningless term, because to the Left it means "whatever does not conform to my particular brand of socialism". So to Communists, democracy is "fascistic", monarchy is "fascistic", traditionalism is "fascistic", nationalism is "fascistic", and so on. Including brands of...

    Fascism without socialism is not fascism. Socialism is a fundamental aspect of fascism, regardless of whether you are talking about Mussolini, Pavelic, or even Hitler (who is about as much of a fascist as Stalin was, btw).

    There is a more accurate term for "fascistic": socialistic. Or specifically, nationalistic revolutionary socialism. I do not recall anything in the movie that portrays the Federation as being socialistic, much less revolutionary. Out of three requirements, you can only make a case for...

    Thing is, I don't care what they were intended to be. Because it doesn't matter. He can daydream whatever the hell he wants, be on drugs, whatever. But when you make a movie, you make it for the audience. And at that point only two things matter: 1) what audience understands from it and 2) what...

    That doesn't mean he understands what fascism is (nevermind that Nazism and Fascism are, in fact, different ideologies). Also, guy didn't even read the book before writing screenplay. So yeah. EDIT: Plus, he is just an idiot generally.

    You are making assumptions. We do not know that bugs had "never seen another space-fairing race before". Warrior bugs are not "just going around doing bug-stuff", they are clearly hive-mind controlled. I have watched ants fighting, and ants have far more individuality in their actions than...

    Yes, and? Shitting plasma into space has no evolutionary advantage. This means that the space-shitting caste was genetically engineered as a weapon. An anti-space defense weapon. My point is that we do not know what capabilities bugs have, exactly. So there is no reason to not take the...

    I will just say one thing: the drop scene. Bugs have an effective anti-space weaponry. This shows that they are clearly not primitives.
