conditional_soup's position on killing the guards, commanders and executioners of Nazi concentration camps: "No, you can't do that, it makes you just as bad as them! You have to debate them in the marketplace of ideas while they exterminate millions of Jews, queers and other 'undesirables.'"
It's literally comic book logic. Also no one who holds this belief does so sincerely. Ask them about homeless people, addicts and tweakers, and terrorists and what the state is justified in doing.
Many of these people will absolutely defend Nazis but condemn a victim of addiction to brutality and death.
1,000%. Liberals will say they abhor all violence, but then turn blind eyes to the violence that is necessary to maintain our (relatively) safe and comfortable lives in the imperial core. But when the oppressed commit violence against their oppressors, or a powerful force commits violence in behalf of the oppressed, suddenly liberals are shocked and aghast at the brutality of it all!
TC_209's position on killing Nazis accidentally didn't align with the party's. They are put against the wall by a young officer who didn't pay attention when they read theory in school.
You walked yourself into the position of arguing against killing Nazis at concentration camps. Go home.
Did I? Because I was thinking about how the Soviet Union had a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany until the latter attacked the former. It was only then that the USSR started giving a shit about killin natzis. Which, in total fairness, was kind of generally true of much of the West at that time. The only reason the Holocaust was stopped was that shithead got too big for his britches and pissed off 110% of the right people. It had nothing to do with the noble cause of ending genocide, ending genocide was just a happy side effect.
Ending the Holocaust was the right thing to do, but it was only ever a retroactive point for the war against the Nazis. A lot of their political contemporaries either agreed with them or didn't have the political will to go to war over it. And yeah, anyone paying attention knew what was going on. Maybe the full scope wasn't well understood until after the war, but plenty of states knew what was happening.
A non-aggession pact that was necessary because the UK and France rejected a proposal by the Soviet Union to end the military threat of the Third Reich before it invaded Poland. But of course they rejected it, since the capitalist nations of Europe had spent years appeasing the Nazis, even signing their own pacts of neutrality and non-aggression with the Third Reich. Most of this is middle school history and you are failing.
Has anyone ever been executed for not executing people? Iirc even the nazis didn't do that. Their einzastzgroupen troops were developing ptsd from killing Jews which is why they invented the gas chambers. You are arguing about complete and utterly nonexistent things.
Not that I know of, tbh. I'm sure that the answer to that question can technically be yes; I'm certain that somewhere across all the horrors of human history, it must have happened, but I can't think of a case I'm aware of.
