NS Germany's homicidal policies in Ukraine.
> "Like Bormann and Göring, Himmler was also arguing behind the scenes that ‘the entire Ukrainian intelligentsia must be decimated’. Like the skimmed fat at the top of a pot of bouillon, Himmler explained, there was a thin intellectual layer on the surface of the Ukrainian people; do away with it, and the leaderless mass would become an obedient and helpless herd. Such an attitude — and the concomitant Untermensch propaganda — set the atmosphere for Koch’s reign."

Ukrainians who larp as Natsocs are severely deluded about history.
> "Hitler had remarked in the summer of 1942 that the Ukraine ought to be Germanized within twenty years ; and Koch had approvingly spread the good word. When Himmler, on a visit to the Führer’s headquarters at Vinnitsa, echoed the thought by commenting that the partisans were menacing the Volksdeutsche and that there ought to be ‘ only German spoken here’, his anxious aides interpreted this as an order to Germanize the area — specifically, the ethnic German settlement of Hegewald, near Himmler’s field headquarters. In mid-August 1942, Himmler actually sanctioned a ‘ consolidation’ of German villages there after the harvest was in; 10,000 ethnic Germans were to be moved into the Hegewald district, where the settlers (unlike the rest of the population) were to receive land in private ownership. Indeed, in November 1942 the first seven villages were cleared of their Ukrainian inhabitants, and ethnic Germans from Volhynia were moved in."

> "Of the 100,000 Jews who served with the German military, 70,000 fought at the front line, 12,000 were killed in action, and 3,000 were promoted to officer ranks,[2] but they could only become officers of the reserve, not the regular army.[6] The Iron Cross was awarded to 18,000 German Jews during the war, of which 1,000 received the first class award."
This disproves the monolithic NatSoc view of Jews as all unpatriotic internationalists.
That tendency has certainly picked up steam in that community post-Hitler (they're now paranoid about nationalism because of Hitler), but the fact that so many served and fought (and died) for Germany in WW1 is proof enough they're able to put their nation of birth above their religion/culture.

Hitler "never believed Stalin to have been an instrument in the hands of Jews", says a historian citing a Hitler speech from 1941 in which Hitler says: "As long as Stalin lives there is no threat, but when he's gone, the Jews, who are now in the second and third echelons of power, might return again".
So Hitler did not invade Russia to "remove Jews from power". They did not have collective group power. He already believed Stalin had sidelined them. He invaded to colonize Russian and Ukrainian soil for German settlement.

This "Communism is Jewish" meme comes from natsocs who are radical socialists themselves. Big chunks of the NSDAP rank and file were recruited from the German communist party (KPD). Calling Communism or Bolshevism Jewish is just a way for them to attack and discredit a competing variant of socialism. The only disagreement a natsoc would have with a Bolshevik is that they want a racist socialism and the Bolshevik a non-racist socialism. They both agree on the socialism. If the Bolshevik simply adds racism to his program he would be welcomed with open arms into the NS fold.

But notice that the NS types will not welcome with open arms someone who's an ethno-centrist but not a socialist. They will reject that person and call them a "liberal" or some nonsense. That's because their egalitarian economic socialism is just as important to them as their ethno-centrism. They say themselves they want to recruit from existing leftist socialist leaning parties and not conservative parties because those lefties are good socialists like them and better suited to embrace the full communistic program of NS.

Mussolini's Jews 🇮🇱
Guido Jung: "He was a member of the Grand Council of Fascism and served as Italian Minister of Finance from 1932-35 under Benito Mussolini. Jung was born in Sicily to a wealthy, Orthodox Jewish merchant family who had emigrated from Germany."
Ettore Ovazza: "was an Italian Jewish banker. He was an early financer of Benito Mussolini, whom he was a personal friend of, and a strong supporter of Italian fascism. He founded the journal La nostra bandiera"
Margherita Sarfattii (Mussolini's mistress): "Indeed, Sarfatti wasn’t just one of Mussolini’s hundreds of lovers. The aristocratic, intellectual and ambitious wife of wealthy Zionist lawyer Cesare Sarfatti... [She] did not only share her bed with Il Duce. She also helped him forge and implement the fascist idea; she contributed advice — and Sullivan says, money — to help organize the 1922 March on Rome in which Mussolini seized power."
JTA:
> "When Mussolini came into power, he at once realized the great asset the Jews constituted in the realms of culture, finance and politics and he exerted every effort not to antagonize the Jews. In the course of the interview between Mussolini and the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Professor Sacherdatti, which took place at that time, Mussolini declared, “Fascism has to contend with too many problems to desire to create more. For us Fascists there can be no antagonism to Jews.”"
> "Of course the friendly attitude of the government to the Jews is due to some extent to the fact that a number of leading Jewish figures are close to Mussolini as his adherents and advisers. Among these must be mentioned especially a woman named Sarfatti, who founded the Fascist periodical “Jerarchia”; Olivetti, the president of the Society of Italian Industrialists, and Prof. Arcas, the economic theoretician and adviser of the Fascist government. It is interesting to note that the official organ of the government and of the Fascist party, “Popolo d’Italia,” which is edited by Mussolini’s brother, never for a moment permitted any anti-Jewish outbursts in its columns. When Dr. Weizmann visited Rome some time ago the paper published an interview with him, written in a very friendly spirit towards Zionism."

👆By the same logic of the NatSocs who say "Communism is Jewish" because of the involvement of some Jews, sometimes disproportionately, in some communist parties, then fascism is also Jewish because of their disproportionate involvement in that movement and Mussolini's government. But they'll never say that because that's the cult they're committed to defending. The Jewish accusation is merely tactical and thrown at rival ideologies they're trying to discredit. Dishonest bullshit!

Lazar Kaganovich, one of Stalin's top deputies who was Jewish, criticized Jews, said he didn't identify as one and heaped approval on Stalin's campaign against various Jews like Trotsky.
He said:
"They [Jews] are always confused," he said. "Even today, during the time of the collapse of our state, they are in the first ranks of those who instigate public disorder. Before the war, we successfully overcame the heritage of Jewish bourgeois nationalism, but after the war they forgot who saved them from destruction by Hitler. We carried out an offensive against cosmopolitanism" -- the Stalinist codeword for Jews -- "and struck first of all at the Jewish intelligentsia, the primary army of the cosmopolitans.... Asked how he could make such comments when he himself was a Jew, Kaganovich said: "This is by birth only. In general, I never felt myself to be a Jew. I have a totally different mind-set. Unlike the Jews, who are prone to anarchy, I love order."
This is further proof that Bolshevism is not an exclusively Jewish tribal phenomenon. Many of the Jews involved did not even like Jews and supported the elimination of Judaism, the same was true of Karl Marx himself.

Stalin had two wives, one Georgian and one Russian.
"Rosa Kaganovich" was not one of Stalin's wives and likely didn't even exist. Kaganovich had only one sister named Rachel who died in 1926 before this alleged third marriage.

New British "nationalist" platform reads like the Communist Manifesto:
- state run schools and health care
- coercing private companies to form "co-operatives"
- trade unions nationalized into the state
- all transportation and utilities socialized
- continued welfarism
- rent and price controls
Claims to want to get rid of "debt" and inflation yet proposes enormous public spending which will result in large scale public debt and probably inflation.
There's really nothing in here that's different from what communists are demanding. The entire economy would rest in state hands.
Hence why we say here that fascism and communism are twin ideologies.

More anti-Slavic hatred from Hitler in Mein Kampf:
> "During the Russo-Japanese War (commonly called the Manchurian Campaign in 1904-1905 between Russia and Japan over Manchuria and Korean territories), I was more mature and more observant. Here I took sides for more rational reasons and supported the Japanese in every discussion we had. I saw the defeat of the Russians as a defeat of the Austrian Slavs."
> "At first I was afraid and worried that the bullets had come from the pistol of a German student. They were angry at the Crown Prince over his constant work to convert the nation to a Slav region, and they wanted to free the German people from this enemy within."
So he supported the Japanese in the Japan-Russo war of 1905 seeing a Russian defeat as a defeat of "Austrian Slavs". In the second paragraph he condemns the Crown Prince for allegedly being friendly to Slavs, deeming him an "enemy within".

Several Nazis including high-ranking Alfred Rosenberg denounced Mussolini personally and Italian fascism as "Jewish-controlled" because it didn't oppose Jews explicitly and admitted Jews in the movement.
Similar accusations were being thrown at Oswald Mosley for "not being anti-Semitic enough" by other more JQ obsessed types in the British fascist movement.
This is how extremely paranoid Nazis are that even fascism was labeled Jewish. If there's even one Jew involved, they'll call it "Jewish controlled".

The very title 'Forced War' is totally demolished by none other than Hitler himself in his November 1939 speech, where he clearly says he always wanted to wage war.
> Hitler wanted the war. It was the logical end to the path which he had taken since being appointed chancellor on 30 January 1933, and upon which conservative elites – generals, diplomats and industrial arms manufacturers – with few exceptions had willingly followed him. As the dictator himself emphasised in a speech to his commanders a few weeks after the conclusion of the Polish campaign in the autumn of 1939, he would never have undertaken to ‘educate the people, build up the Wehrmacht and rearm’ if he had not had the will to use force ‘right from the beginning’ [¹]. There was no room for the idea of lasting peace in Hitler’s social-Darwinist world view. Peace, Hitler often reiterated privately, would only ‘lead humanity into a quagmire’. Every generation, he believed, had to ‘steel itself anew and collect new experiences’.[²]
The only fault that can be attributed to the Western powers is that they failed to stay Hitler’s arm while that was still possible. They had tried everything they could, to the point of self-abnegation, to tame his drive for expansion in the interests of preserving peace in Europe. It was not until the policy of appeasement had definitively failed in the spring of 1939 that the Western powers decided to confront Germany’s Führer – too late to undermine Hitler’s determination to wage war, if indeed that drive could have been checked under any circumstances. By contrast, in order to buy time for a conflict it knew was coming, the Soviet Union temporarily allied itself with its mortal enemy and became complicit, in the short term, in Hitler’s policies of aggression.

This statement by Lenin demonstrates he was clearly opposed to Zionism and Jewish nationalism and wanted to convert all Jews to Marxist internationalism (and atheism).
> "Whoever directly or otherwise puts forward the slogan of Jewish national culture (however well intentioned he may be) is the enemy of the proletariat, the defender of the old and caste element in Jewry, the tool of the rabbis and of the bourgeoisie. On the contrary, those Jewish Marxists who join up in the international Marxist organisations with the Russian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and other workers, adding their mite (both in Russian and in Jewish) to the creation of an international culture of the working-class movement, are continuing (in the teeth of Bundist separatism) the best traditions of Jewry, and struggling against the slogan of "national culture.""

> "Whoever directly or otherwise puts forward the slogan of Jewish national culture (however well intentioned he may be) is the enemy of the proletariat, the defender of the old and caste element in Jewry, the tool of the rabbis and of the bourgeoisie. On the contrary, those Jewish Marxists who join up in the international Marxist organisations with the Russian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and other workers, adding their mite (both in Russian and in Jewish) to the creation of an international culture of the working-class movement, are continuing (in the teeth of Bundist separatism) the best traditions of Jewry, and struggling against the slogan of "national culture.""
