Also the main reason why we had the Cold War … I’m in Canada and from the history I’ve read about my government after the war, it was far easier to be a Nazi or a fascist than a communist or even socially minded.
It makes you realize that the second world war didn’t really end in 1945 … it lingered for many decades after to what we have today.
Idk, if either side had absorbed ideology of the nazis then wouldn’t that just bring them closer together? They probably would have had tension regardless, WWII just sped up the arms race. Also, fascism and communism in the historical context are not opposing ideologies. Sure, definitions directly contradict, but most of the historic “communisms” like Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China were definitely fascisms.
Nationalistic top down systems with rigid class roles ruled by an all powerful dictator like Mao’s china or the soviet union? Just because they claimed they were advocating for a classless society didn’t make it true. There’s this thing they were doing called lying.
You’d be surprised how many nazis were recycled after WW2. Unfortunately, it’s the reason we made it to the moon.

Definitions aside, While communism is a system based around a theory of economic equality and advocates for a classless society, fascism is a nationalistic, top-down system with rigid class roles that is ruled by an all-powerful dictator..

The links I provided disagree.
The second one said that what communism isn’t is something that ever actually existed in the real world. I think they agree with me.
Soviets apparently grabbed the better ones and won the space race.
but the soviets lost
