The Soviet Union took 3 million Germans and other Axis soldiers as prisoners of war during World War II. While Soviets said 381,000 died in captivity, a West German government commission says it was a million. Pretty mean of the Soviets but remember that of the of 5.7 million Soviets captured by the Nazis, 3.3 million died in captivity.
Sad commentary on deadly war, while we moan about pronouns.
It’s more of a commentary on two brutal Statist worldviews, neither of which believed in liberty, or in the individual, and both of which are the intellectual cousins of Progressivism. It’s another example to illustrate that that worldview must never be allowed to gain power here, it must be destroyed.
The Nazis and the Soviets both used “socialist” when labeling themselves.
