    bad logic. yugoslavia was invaded by the nazis, does that make them fascist? you could just say that they're actually social democracies instead of using this shit. a lot has changed in central europe the last almost century

        motherfucker where in my post did I defend nazi collaborators? A loooooot has changed in the last 75+ years in europe. Hell, Germans went from well, nazis, to metrosexual gay guys with skinny glasses who go to the discoteque to listen to der funkybeats when off work. using that scandinavia used to be part of the nazi empire as your go to example of them either a) not being socialist countries, or b) not being like the image Americans have of scandinavia, is both weird and does nothing to prove or disprove your thesis, when you could just say they still rely on capitalist resource extraction from global poor nations or something.

          No, no, no. I said they were Nazi collaborators. I don't get why this simple concept is getting such tremendous pushback. The fact that it's in the past has nothing to do with it. America doesn't get a break from slavery because it was in the past. Therefore the same applies to Scandinavia.

          Oh, you don't like your crimes being brought up? Hmm, what a fascinating concept.

          And just so you know, the idea that Germans will happily go back to Nazism is behind the vehement suppression of the far right in Germany. AfD is frozen out of the government, and for good reason. Germans are just champing at the bit to go back to Nazism. If you don't believe me, just ask one of them. Heck, Trump withdrawing US troops was seen as a threatening gesture, one likely to release the Germans from under the American thumb to become a threat to all Europe once again.
