V-E Day May 8th celebrates the U.S. victory over socialism.

On V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8th), everyone celebrates the victory over socialism and over the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis). The U.S. helped end a war that began in 1939 when Poland was invaded by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as allies in their scheme to divide up Eastern Europe.

It is often forgotten that “Nazi” meant “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” An easy way to remember that Nazis were self-proclaimed socialists is that the swastika resembles two “S” letters overlapping and the Nazis often used stylized “S” lettering in their symbols.

After it split from the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics went on to kill even more people.

WWII led to the Holocaust, and it led to the socialist Wholecaust, in which hundreds of millions were slaughtered. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed 62 million; the People's Republic of China killed 35 million; and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party killed 21 million (numbers from Professor R. J. Rummel's article in the Encyclopedia of Genocide). (http://members.ij.net/rex/socialists.jpg)

It is scary how close the U.S. came to joining the socialist trio of atrocities. During WWII, the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag used a straight-arm salute similar to that of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge1.html). The Pledge was created by a self-proclaimed National Socialist in the U.S. (Francis Bellamy) three decades before the National Socialist German Workers’ Party adopted a similar salute and dogma.

The salute changed because of WWII. But there are still government schools where laws make teachers lead children in robotic chants of the socialist’s pledge daily, on cue.

V-E Day is also V-S Day for our libertarian victory in the ongoing struggle against socialism.
