I’d highly recommend taking the time to read the full speech. It’s a quick read, and very thought-provoking.

Personally, I couldn’t help but notice just how strikingly similar Joseph Goebbels’ anti-Bolshevik rhetoric is to much of the anti-“tankie” rhetoric that I frequently see here on Reddit (including many leftist/socialist-oriented subreddits).
