You're being extremely cagey. Why do you think the Nazis gained power? For what purpose? Moreover, they were overwhelmingly stopped by the Communists, 80% of the combat in World War II was on the Eastern Front. I don't think you have a good grasp of what we are talking about, here.
nicholas cagey? shucks
i've noticed discussing things with you guys you attempt to attack the other person rather than the arguments, they teach you that in socialism 101?
it would actually be more appropriate to say socialism is a form of capitalism because it is an attempt at an economic system and it came from an accurate analysis of capitalism, so it's actually derived from capitalism
you'll probably give me highlights of how russia won WWII
You don"t have arguments, though. I have tried to get you to make some, but you haven't, except for the times where you say things that are false, like the idea that Capitalists were the ones who beat the Nazis when it was the Red Army that killed 90% of the Nazis that were killed and took Berlin. I haven't attacked you, I pointed out that, repeatedly, you make unbacked assertions that aren't in line with reality, so I gently suggested you do more research.
Secondly, suggesting that Socialism is a form of Capitalism is the same as saying Capitalism is a form of Feudalism, and that Feudalism is a form of tribal society, just because these systems came before the other. That's entitely incorrect, though it would be correct to say that Capitalism's development drives Socialism to emerge, just as Feudalism's development drove Capitalism to emerge.
As for highlights, I don't really need to, the Eastern Front entirely eclipsed the rest of the combat combined, and the Soviets were the ones to take Berlin. No highlights are necessary, the Red Army gave by far the most and did by far the most in putting down the Nazis.
In a ~~shouting match~~ debate with Norman Finkelstein, Rabbi Shmuley said the Winston Churchill defeated the Third Reich, which is funny because Churchill hisself said that the Red Army ‘t[ore] the guts out of the’ Wehrmacht.
Absolutely! The historical revisionism over time is especially bad because people used to give credit where credit was due.
just weighing up what i'm allowed to say without getting banned on ml

No idea what you're getting at, to be honest.
