Why did Hitler & Stalin go to war if they were both leftists?
D'Souza: Very good question. Which is if Nazism and Communism are both leftist how come did they how come they went to war? First of all it’s important to realize that ideologies that are very close to each other frequently do go to war: the Catholics and the Protestants, the Shia and the Sunni. The Shia and the Sunni are both in the house of Islam, they actually agree on 99% of theological beliefs but they’ve been fighting for centuries. Why? Competitions over territory and power and so on. Remember that Hitler was a National Socialist. The reason that Hitler hated the Communists was not because they were socialists, he liked that part about it, what he didn’t like is that they were taking their orders from Moscow, he saw them as traitors to Germany. So Hitler’s priority was socialism in Germany. Now remember that Hitler who went to war with Stalin was allied with Stalin so on the foreign policy domain Hitler was perfectly happy to sign the Hitler-Stalin Pact and then violate it for reasons of national interest. So the bottom line of it is the fact that Germany and the Soviet Union went to war in no way refutes the idea that progressivism, communism and fascism were all three sister movements that developed in Germany, in Italy, in America and in Russia all in response to the crisis of Marxism.

Hitler and Stalin were buddies and then “CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL”

Communist Vietnam went to war against Communist Cambodia. Ethiopia and Somalia while both were communist dictatorships under the influence of the USSR went to war with each other. The USSR and Communist China both had plans for fighting each other should war break out… and in the meantime we’re regularly competing against each other to see who could exert more influence. People of the same “ideology” or political leaning can and do fight each other. (Though I shall admit the two wars I mention had nothing to do with Communist ideology per say as Somalia attacked Ethiopia to conquer Somali ethnic dominated lands, and Vietnam fought Cambodia because Cambodia had became a genocidal state that targeted its own people as well as ethnic Vietnamese who lived in the area to achieve its agrarian dream of the Communist paradise)
