If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.
― Winston Churchill (Speech in Rome on 20 January, 1927, praising Mussolini)”
I will not pretend that, if I had to choose between Communism and Nazi-ism, I would choose Communism.
― Winston Churchill
I have never in my life seen these quotes before. Holy shit they're bad.
The entire British Establishment supported Nazism
When antiCommunists whine about Soviets signing Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that's only after the British spent the entire 1930s claiming the Britain and Nazi Germany will be a bulwark against communism and after the British signed 3 pacts with Hitler which were all directly against the Soviet Union (the 4 powers pact meant to exclude and isolate Soviets, the Naval agreement meant Germany could have a navy up 35% of the British navy meaning it wouldn't threaten British empire but every country on the baltic sea...ie the Soviet Union and finally the Munich Betrayal which was understood to be a gesture of a "free hand" (british diplomats words not mine) for Hitler to go east
And
Lord Halifax, Documents And Materials Relating To The Eva Of The Second World War Vol-1
When the Soviets liberated Germany they were able to get a huge cache of British diplomatic documents. The Soviets released the above book and Documents And Materials Relating To The Eva Of The Second World War Vol-2 full to the brim of diplomats praising Nazi Germany as a twin pillar alongside Britain stopping communism
Lenin pointed this out in Imperialism: The Highest Stage Of Capitalism and dug a quote out from Cecil Rhodes ( a disgusting colonial piece of shit) who said:
The imperialists have understood for a long time to prevent Socialist revolution they must by all means have new lands, new markets, new pools of cheap labour to rinse to placate the workers in imperialist nations.
The only real difference between someone like Churchill and Hitler was Hitler waged this violence against Europeans for his Lebensraum. If he'd done this in India/Africa or China this would just have been "competing for markets".
