wonder if a Bandera Apolytonia could have been organized for the Spanish Civil War
Apolyton anno 1933
I wonder how Apolyton would look like, if it would have existed in 1933 already. just imagine the posters would be the same, the moderators as well of course. what would have went on on Apolyton? how would we have discussed the coming events like the Nuremberg Law, Reichstag, Gestapo, Guernica, Appeasement, WWII or Holocaust?
would there have been a common agreement that Hitler was evil? would there have been statements by people saying Hitler is necessary because Stalin is the true evil?
what do you think would have been your role here and how do you think would you have argued?

Then this "Bandera Apolytonia" would be wellcome...

Of course. Knowing my luck I would have volunteered and been part of the busload of American volunteers who accidentally got driven behind nationalist lines in jarama (and never heard from again) before any of them saw and combat...Do you mean to defense the republic? Don't you?

oh no, I wouldn´t want to have missed our Isreali friends here. however, an interesting point would have been, where would they have lived (since there was no Isreal yet) and would they have listened to the warnings of the antifacist posters in the free world. would there have been warnings anyway?

Continual simmering flamewar between "FDR is our Savior" and "FDR is a God-Damned Bolshevik" camps would naturally be in the fore.
What I'd be most interested in is Finnish forums (some sort of Muropaketti-equivalent) in 1932, the year of Mäntsälä coup attempt.
"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world
oedo: Good question. AFAIK a lot of Jews in Germany didn´t believe Hitler would really try to exterminate them. Many of them fought in WWI for the "Reich", many of them were highly decorated there.

We'd have hoards of lefties who would be saying the British & French were war mongers. Serb would be busy denying that Stalin was starving anyone in the USSR yet, then as now, he would be un able to explain why he had moved to the US if the USSR was such a wonderful place.

Intriguing.
We could really try this out by starting a 1933 thread.

this wouldn´t work. the most common statement in Germany after May 1945 was Wir haben nichts gewusst!(We didn´t know about it all!)Originally posted by ranskaldan

Many people didn't know of the German atrocities that were happening and had no idea about what was to come. Hitler was actually getting praise from many about the job he was doing in rebuilding the German economy. My bet would be that he would have had many supporters here on poly circa 1933. Further, I would imagine a large discussion on how capitalism had failed and thrown the world into depression. Communism would appear to be the answer for many during this time. The discussions would have been incredibly interesting and fun to follow.

It would have been a nice time for sure. As most of you might know, back then everyting could be blamed on jews. People would start out with a post, verbally attacking the jews for being the creater of the modern capitalist society and exploiting the people. later on, the same poster would in the same fashion attack the jews for creating and leading the communist movement, a threat to society. many people would think this was in perfect order, those that didn't would be called pinko homosexual jew-lovers.

Btw, in 33 we could still have "which is the best tank" threads, "who´s the next superpower" threads, and nation-bashing threads

Posting on Apolyton would be highly interesting, given that the only thing approaching computers at the time was the difference analyzer (? something like that). I know that I would look forward to the future when we'll finally have punchcards to post with...

Admite it. That was quality material.

haha I never expect any less of you
FDR may have wanted to get into the war - it doesnt therefore follow that leftists would have supported him. The communist party was generally hostile to western rearmament until German expansion really threatened Stalin - around 1936 or so. They then went anti-fascist, but flipped in 1939 with nazi-soviet pact. At that time for example Pete Seeger wrote anti-war songs, attacking the warmongering interventionists. Of course they flipped back again in June 1941, when Hitler attacked USSR.
Trotskyites were consistently anti-war, IIUC.
Have a nice day.

The mistake is to stereotype everyone.
if by lefties the poster meant communists and other far leftists, he was in fact quite correct.Originally posted by Sava
The mistake is to stereotype everyone.
If he meant liberals or social democrats he was of course wrong - but then it would be equally incorrect to indicate that all liberals in US or UK opposed Op. Iraqi Freedom.
