WTF are you talking about? Are you going to absolve the populace who supported Hitler, who cheered on while he was giving his speeches, because "they weren't the ones in power"?If you blame the entire population, then you are in a position to say "kill them all, God will know his own." I cannot accept that sort of morality.
You're talking out of your ass. How does acknowledging the German people's support of Hitler make me an antisemit? Do I support Israel? Fuck no. Do I then think it's justifiable killing every Jew in Palestine because of Israel? Again, fuck no.Your thinking is exactly the same as many Palestinians and others you think killing any Jew is justified because of the policies of Israel.
And the Communists weren't anymore Atheists than the Nazis. Hitler even accused them of being a Jewish conspiracy (Marx was Jewish), while churches still operated in the USSR before, during, and after Stalin. But keep believing lies by Trotsky, Khrushchev and Gorbachev, comrade.
Then don't make absolute claims and then try to backpedal when you're called out on it.I am not alone, historians are split on the subject.
Stick to theology because politics is not your wheelhouse.
