Neither did the “space Nazis”. They are both fictional, and both based on
murderous regimes. How’s a hammer and sickle any different from a swastika?

The general theory of Nazism is based on hate, whereas the general theory
of communism is based on peace. It was one madman (Stalin) who transformed
the USSR into a machine that killed 30 million Russians.
And again, don’t forget that ALL regimes are murderous! Don’t forget that
North America used to be covered head-to-toe with people who were
successfully murdered to make room for European colonizers. Don’t forget the
brutal British conquest of India, or South Africa, or ... the list goes on.
But the thing that seperates these regimes from Nazism is that Nazism was
founded and based on hatred. All of the other regimes were based (perhaps
misguided) notions of patriotism, of fighting for peace, etc. Even blatantly
imperialistic regimes, like the Romans or Mongols, weren’t motivated by
hatred.

I have to disagree - horrible though it was, there was more to Nazism than just
hate...
Adn does it really matter WHY millions were killed?
I like your EB MOCs, Lenny, and I think that this one may have crossed the line
in polite society, but I think some of the defenders here have a point. Why does
a symbol make a MOC horrible while others embrace the same spirit in their MOCs?
And, um, your EB MOCs aren’t exactly peaceful.
