I've always wondered what kind of world we would be living in right now if Germany's luftwaffe had conquered Britain, and if in Operation Barbarrosa the German army conquered Stalingrad...

I think it's a little overblown we'd be speaking German or Japanese. I say that because for one if the Soviets wouldn't have stalled Germany, it would have just been more difficult for the U.S and allies to establish strategic position in Europe, but I believe we would have it would have been tougher. The U.S became extremely powerful and industry wise, outmuscled the Soviets in production. Not only that but in all honesty Germany would not have the Navy to transport ships, men, and equipment to the U.S. If Germany and Japan weren't defeated, it would have taken a little bit longer to conquer both countries. When they say they woke up a sleeping giant(U.S), they weren't kidding. Industry, natural resources, and manpower was very strong for the U.S. we would have outmuscled Germany. Our road to defeating Germany was much easier because the Soviets were able to repel the Germans, and a lot of German forces focused on the Eastern front. Not saying the Soviets were weak because Hitler seriously undermined Soviet resolve. There was just no way Germany could defeat the Soviet Union, and the United States.

looks like you're the moron since he clearly said in his post COMMUNISM and the nazis imprisoned and killed many communists and the fear of a communist takeover was a big part of the reason why Hitler was able to take power.

Didn't you know that socialism and communism are two of the most incorrectly used terms in the entire world?

The person you quoted said "Where everyone is treated fairly." Just because he incorrectly used the term communism doesn't mean anything. It makes you look stupid for not realizing he meant socialism.

"Fascism ( /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists seek rejuvenation of their nation based on commitment to an organic national community where its individuals are united together as one people in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood through a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education, and eugenics"

The German citizens (well the white, non Jewish ones) were taken care of. That doesn't make Nazi Germany any worse.

"where everyone is treated fairly" could apply to either one. In the past that obviously that hasn't been true about communism, or socialism for that matter (they are equal failures of economic systems) but the idea behind both it is that everyone is treated fairly. In fact that would apply more so to communism since a "classless state" is what communism is described to be.

who said its worse? democracy just lets corporations/banks take over... its controlled by money..... people start businesses, make money, become billionaire tycoons, and with the money they control the politics... after a while a handful of people will always have 99% of the money..... its stupid you need it controlled.

I don't see how they could have beaten the US, even if they had conquered europe. if they had backed the US to a wall, they would have resorted to nuclear war and vaporized them.

but hypothetically, if they had won, they probably would have exterminated everyone that weren't like them, like they were doing during the war.

so at least overpopulation wouldnt be an issue..

There is no way any one nation could take over the world, it is just too hard. Ghengis Khan and Alexander the Great could not do it. Greed is a vicious cycle. Once Hitler dies, the place would fall apart. Not even Rome could take everything, they got thinned out, and eventually could not hold itself.

Obviously. So why didn't you realize he was talking about socialism? Instead you lambasted him for using the incorrect term when you full-well knew what he was talking about.

That seems quite stupid to me.

Because he SAID communism.

If that statement can be applied to either ideology, and he typed in communism, than it's reasonable to assume he had no idea what he's talking about rather than he made a mistake. Besides that there were other reasons to call him a dumbass, like when he said it would be better because there would be no Jews or blacks.

The Nazis actually won WW2 because the Nazis were Capitalists while the Soviets were Communists and Capitalist powers like the US, Britain and Germany defeated Communist powers like the Soviet Russia. Capitalism defeated Communism and the Germans were inherently Capitalistic and were against equality. So yes, I think it can be said that the Nazis actually won, based on a certain point of view.

I doubt the Germans would have been able to hold onto everything they occupied during the war. Their goal was basically to reorganize the European balance of power under an association of fascist states with a German superstate at the top of the hierarchy. So if they had knocked the Britons and Soviets out of the war, they probably would have accepted peace terms from Britain recognizing Germany's control over Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe and then left them alone. They would have directly annexed most of Eastern Europe, and broken up the Soviet Union between its constituent republics; The Baltic States, Ukraine, etc, and reduced Russia to the borders of the old medieval Muscovite kingdom. They would have given the Vichy government control of all of France and its colonies, and would have headed an alliance with them, as well as with fascist Italy, Hungary, and Romania. They certainly would have formalized an alliance with Spain as well, and possibly Portugal too. With their collapse, the British would probably lose their mandate over Palestine, Egypt and Iraq and those rulers would probably align with the fascists as well, as certainly would the Syrians (of which Lebanon was a part at that time), being under French administration. Hard to say what would happen to India, but without British protection it would be awfully exposed to the Japanese. Italy would retain control of Libya and Abyssinia (Ethiopia), and would likely control most of the Balkans as well. Greece would likely be an independent fascist-aligned state. The Turkish Kemalists would likely go fascist as well, attempting to regain territory in the Caucasus that they had coveted since the Ottoman days as the Soviet Union retreated from the region. They would split up access to Caucasian resources with the Germans.

WASHINGTON—Unable to rest their eyes on a colorful photograph or boldface heading that could be easily skimmed and forgotten about, Americans collectively recoiled Monday when confronted with a solid block of uninterrupted text.

Dumbfounded citizens from Maine to California gazed helplessly at the frightening chunk of print, unsure of what to do next. Without an illustration, chart, or embedded YouTube video to ease them in, millions were frozen in place, terrified by the sight of one long, unbroken string of English words.

"Why won't it just tell me what it's about?" said Boston resident Charlyne Thomson, who was bombarded with the overwhelming mass of black text late Monday afternoon. "There are no bullet points, no highlighted parts. I've looked everywhere—there's nothing here but words."

"Ow," Thomson added after reading the first and last lines in an attempt to get the gist of whatever the article, review, or possibly recipe was about.

At 3:16 p.m., a deafening sigh was heard across the country as the nation grappled with the daunting cascade of syllables, whose unfamiliar letter-upon-letter structure stretched on for an endless 500 words. Children wailed for the attention of their bewildered parents, businesses were shuttered, and local governments ground to a halt as Americans scanned the text in vain for a web link to click on.

Sources also reported a 450 percent rise in temple rubbing and under-the-breath cursing around this time.

"It demands so much of my time and concentration," said Chicago resident Dale Huza, who was confronted by the confusing mound of words early Monday afternoon. "This large block of text, it expects me to figure everything out on my own, and I hate it."

"I've never seen anything like it," said Mark Shelton, a high school teacher from St. Paul, MN who stared blankly at the page in front of him for several minutes before finally holding it up to his ear. "What does it want from us?"

As the public grows more desperate, scholars are working to randomly italicize different sections of the text, hoping the italics will land on the important parts and allow everyone to go on with their day. For now, though, millions of panicked and exhausted Americans continue to repetitively search the single column of print from top to bottom and right to left, looking for even the slightest semblance of meaning or perhaps a blurb.

Some have speculated that the never-ending flood of sentences may be a news article, medical study, urgent product recall notice, letter, user agreement, or even a binding contract of some kind. But until the news does a segment in which they take sections of the text and read them aloud in a slow, calm voice while highlighting those same words on the screen, no one can say for sure.

There are some, however, who remain unfazed by the virtual hailstorm of alternating consonants and vowels, and are determined to ignore it.

"I'm sure if it's important enough, they'll let us know some other way," Detroit local Janet

Landsman said. "After all, it can't be that serious. If there were anything worthwhile buried deep in that block of impenetrable English, it would at least have an accompanying photo of a celebrity or a large humorous title containing a pop culture reference."

Added Landsman, "Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a point."

[QUOTE="fidosim"]I doubt the Germans would have been able to hold onto everything they occupied during the war. Their goal was basically to reorganize the European balance of power under an association of fascist states with a German superstate at the top of the hierarchy. So if they had knocked the Britons and Soviets out of the war, they probably would have accepted peace terms from Britain recognizing Germany's control over Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe and then left them alone. They would have directly annexed most of Eastern Europe, and broken up the Soviet Union between its constituent republics; The Baltic States, Ukraine, etc, and reduced Russia to the borders of the old medieval Muscovite kingdom. They would have given the Vichy government control of all of France and its colonies, and would have headed an alliance with them, as well as with fascist Italy, Hungary, and Romania. They certainly would have formalized an alliance with Spain as well, and possibly Portugal too. With their collapse, the British would probably lose their mandate over Palestine, Egypt and Iraq and those rulers would probably align with the fascists as well, as certainly would the Syrians (of which Lebanon was a part at that time), being under French administration. Hard to say what would happen to India, but without British protection it would be awfully exposed to the Japanese. Italy would retain control of Libya and Abyssinia (Ethiopia), and would likely control most of the Balkans as well. Greece would likely be an independent fascist-aligned state. The Turkish Kemalists would likely go fascist as well, attempting to regain territory in the Caucasus that they had coveted since the Ottoman days as the Soviet Union retreated from the region. They would split up access to Caucasian resources with the Germans. funtimez12345

WASHINGTON—Unable to rest their eyes on a colorful photograph or boldface heading that could be easily skimmed and forgotten about, Americans collectively recoiled Monday when confronted with a solid block of uninterrupted text.

Dumbfounded citizens from Maine to California gazed helplessly at the frightening chunk of print, unsure of what to do next. Without an illustration, chart, or embedded YouTube video to ease them in, millions were frozen in place, terrified by the sight of one long, unbroken string of English words.

"Why won't it just tell me what it's about?" said Boston resident Charlyne Thomson, who was bombarded with the overwhelming mass of black text late Monday afternoon. "There are no bullet points, no highlighted parts. I've looked everywhere—there's nothing here but words."

"Ow," Thomson added after reading the first and last lines in an attempt to get the gist of whatever the article, review, or possibly recipe was about.

At 3:16 p.m., a deafening sigh was heard across the country as the nation grappled with the daunting cascade of syllables, whose unfamiliar letter-upon-letter structure stretched on for an endless 500 words. Children wailed for the attention of their bewildered parents, businesses were shuttered, and local governments ground to a halt as Americans scanned the text in vain for a web link to click on.

Sources also reported a 450 percent rise in temple rubbing and under-the-breath cursing around this time.

Yes. Statement stands. Just one big copy and paste with not a hint of your own opinion. If you would like to discuss something feel free but please dont flood the thread with things you think everyone needs to read. If you want, provide a link or a summary if you read it yourself. Personally I have no idea what the hell it's on about and don't care really.

They would have had a hold on europe and britian. I don't think they would be just satisfied with that and would have possibly attempted to invade north america.

[QUOTE="TF626"]I think it's a little overblown we'd be speaking German or Japanese. I say that because for one if the Soviets wouldn't have stalled Germany, it would have just been more difficult for the U.S and allies to establish strategic position in Europe, but I believe we would have it would have been tougher. The U.S became extremely powerful and industry wise, outmuscled the Soviets in production. Not only that but in all honesty Germany would not have the Navy to transport ships, men, and equipment to the U.S. If Germany and Japan weren't defeated, it would have taken a little bit longer to conquer both countries. When they say they woke up a sleeping giant(U.S), they weren't kidding. Industry, natural resources, and manpower was very strong for the U.S. we would have outmuscled Germany. Our road to defeating Germany was much easier because the Soviets were able to repel the Germans, and a lot of German forces focused on the Eastern front. Not saying the Soviets were weak because Hitler seriously undermined Soviet resolve. There was just no way Germany could defeat the Soviet Union, and the United States.

This is a what if thread... Not debating how unlikely it was for it to happen, rather the consequences if it happened.

We will speak German, and see the War as one of the best things to happen, since the history is written by the winners.
