Communism vs National Socialism. Under Communism, soldiers willingly gave themselves up to the enemy and citizens were overjoyed to be “invaded”. Under National Socialism, Jewish “death camps” (work camps) look better than most of our jobs today. Every single one of the hundreds of millions of people that lived (and died) under Communism in the 20th century would have done anything to get into one of Hitler’s work camps. No question.
