Today, September 1, is the anniversary of the beginning of the German invasion of Poland in 1939. An invasion with a prior alliance.<\/p>\n
That alliance was embodied in the German-Soviet Pact of August 23, 1936<\/a>, by which Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union became allies<\/strong>, an alliance that lasted until the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941. In the 20 years that I have been writing this blog, I have insisted many times on one fact: Communism and National Socialism are totalitarian and criminal movements<\/strong>, enemies of freedom and democracy, radically anti-Christian and, therefore, opposed to Western culture, whose roots are Judeo-Christian.<\/p>\n Led by historical ignorance or propaganda, many people think that if you reject communism you are a nazi and that if you reject nazism you are a friend of communists<\/strong>, as if there were some incompatibility in clearly and roundly rejecting these two totalitarian movements. The reality is that both movements are franchises of socialism:<\/strong> communism is an internationalist socialism and national-socialism, as its name indicates, is a nationalist socialism. Both share their statism, their rejection of liberal democracy and the free market.<\/p>\n On the other hand, both movements profess hatred of a part of society as a political banner<\/strong>, within the purest tradition of socialism. Communism professes class hatred and national-socialism promotes racial hatred. In both cases, it is a hatred born of envy<\/strong>. An envy that has common elements. Let us remember that Karl Marx wrote a pamphlet against the Jews in 1844<\/a>, a pamphlet that any nazi could sign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Both communism and national-socialism seek to solve all of society's problems by criminalizing millions of people<\/strong> simply because they are considered to be better off than others. That is why the nazis have always portrayed Jews as people greedy for wealth.<\/p>\n Furthermore, both movements justify violence for political purposes and have committed countless crimes<\/strong>. That is why both totalitarian movements deserve to be labeled equally as criminals. Some claim that communism is worse than nazism because it killed more people<\/strong>, but we must remember that communism dominated more countries for a longer period of time, including the mainland of the most populous country in the world: China. Had nazism had such a hold, the result would have been very similar in numbers<\/strong>, given the atrocities committed by the nazis in the countries invaded by Germany in World War II.<\/p>\n Therefore, we must reject false dichotomies: it is coherent to reject communism and national-socialism equally,<\/strong> especially when we are talking about people who consider themselves Christians, lovers of freedom and democracy and defenders of human rights. Today, the rejection of nazism is very widespread, fortunately<\/strong> (and especially because of Germany's defeat in the World War II), but the rejection of communism remains an unresolved issue,<\/strong> especially among the political left.<\/p>\n Three years ago in Spain we saw a party that calls itself social-democrat, the PSOE, refusing to condemn the crimes of genocide committed by communism<\/a> and calling communists \"freedom fighters.\" Things like this should be rejected with the same repulsion that Holocaust denial provokes<\/strong>, because we are talking about a totalitarian movement, communism, which has killed more than 100 million people<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, September 1, is the anniversary of the beginning of the German invasion of Poland in 1939.
