    Wasn’t one of the first groups that Hitler went after when he gained power were the communists? I’m pretty sure I remember that communists were sent to concentration camps along with Jews, disabled people, and LGBT.

    Lol, Hitler literally got his start telling his gangs to go beat the shit out of communists.

    Revisionist history much?

    Hitler’s mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf. During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in “fighting Marxism”.[138]Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf:

    In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.[139]

    “First they came for the communists, but I did not speak out because I was not a communist”

    Hitler was the literal opposite of a communist. He came for the communists before he came for the Jews.

      Hey! Whoa! That’s NOT true!

      I lost my whole mind, and I STILL agree! It’s so obvious, even an idiot like me can see.
