Yesterday I had argument with Cowbee about this here. This seems like hijack of word “base” to support their propaganda like many others Words Which Defy Dictionaries. Base, is always ideology. Sure their so called “base” influence upper ones, but it is not the base. Base is something core, without it the thing cannot function. can human live without ideology? Without right or wrong?

It make sense to base our self on other ideologies but not on ideology of means of production or ownership first.

If you think this is misunderstanding, please explain your argument in simple language without using communist jargons if possible.

I suspect hardcore communists doesn’t want to admit flaws instead they blow up dust of words to cover. I also suspect that i can be wrong or half understood the argument or using wrong definition of terms, that’s why i am posting here

    The Nazis brutally oppressed the working class

    Can you please elaborate on this? I thought the Nazi party was great for the German economy, taking the country out of a great recession. Nothing I learned hinted at the german population having it bad, the “only” problem was killing on an industrial scale.

    EDIT: Some searching and reading on the internet indicates that

    1. Brutally oppressed is (in my opinion) a bit strongly worded. I would seem they wanted Totalitarianism.
    2. To actually give a proper answer to my question would require a format other than a this.
    3. #2 would also require a lot of background to give context and nuance.

      Thr Nazis murdered KPD members and other union organizers, that was how they came into power. They also massacred Jewish people, disabled people, queer people, etc. They came into power as an answer to “Judeo-Bolshevism,” they didn’t simply want power for the sake of power, but to protect private capital.
