First I must say I do not like totalitarian regimes.

Having said that...


I would chose Russia. Nazi Germany was much more evil because of its openly genocidal policies. Stalin policies were brutal but not genocidal in that the killings were mainly of its own people. Nazi Germany was an indescribable. horrible power based on ridiculous assumptions of racial superiority even when its top members were twisted and abnormal mentally, physically, sexually and in appearance.

The legacy of Nazi Germany as probably the most evil regime in recent history is unparalleled.

Well haven't you been indoctrinated well.

Actually the Soviets practiced genocide against Ukranians, Cosaks, and probably a few other I don't know about. On a raw number and per capita basis, more people died in the gulags than in concentration camps. On a per capita basis, more Soviets than Germans died in the war as soldiers. On a per capita basis, more Soviets than Germans died in the war as civilians.

So what's the real way of choosing between one or another? No not what the media/academia has programmed you to think by indoctrination, but what your group identity is. What's your group identity?

You do NOT want to be a German, Ukranian, business owner in the Soviet Union.

You do NOT want to be a Jew, Gypsy, Communist, or even an ethnic Russian in Nazi Germany.
 
I'd be a German Nazi, and if I had to fight I'd do my damnest to keep the Soviets out of Europe as much as I could. If I'm fighting the western powers I'd surrender as soon as possible.
 
Germany. Not because of the history, but because I like German culture and the country better. Learning German and vacationing there, compared to nearly being attacked while visiting Moskva, does have an impact and a bias on my mind
 
Not if we cholorformed you and threw your unconscious body through the time machine. It's a theoretical question.
Yes theoretical, the question was asked and demanded that I choose. So theoretically I am shooting the OP.

Obviously the debate was supposed to be: What is worse Nazism or Communism? Then the obvious needed questions came up: when, what, where, and why? Any Nazism that became powerful enough today to rule any country would be nothing like Hitlers Germany. Logically the assholes that were the ruling class in the neo-nazi regime would have learned much since WW2. The same goes for Communism but ten fold, since there have been and are literally thousands of types of Communism. Even China and North Korea have their huge differences. SO when it comes to Nazism and Communism and the artificial choice between the two we are left with too many variables to make an educated decision on which ass backwards model to join. Making the choice impossible and pointless non-intellectual drivel. It is more in the realm of one of those silly Yahoo questions.

Nope, the question was NAZI Germany or SOVIET Russia. You were asked which time period / location you would prefer to live in between the two, not which ideology as a whole throughout history is better. Like I said, we'll choose for you when we strap you into the time machine, be sure to bring a jacket, it gets cold on the eastern front.

He'll need more than a jacket. That just offsets death by freezing in Siberia by about .03 seconds.

At least the question isnt so broad for nazi Germany since it only existed for a short time. The USSR on the other hand existed for much longer. But it still sounds like one of those Yahoo questions. lol The question is still obviously which ideology is worse. And to that I say apples and oranges.
 
I think Stalin might have been a little less discriminating and crazy.
 
Which is worse, targeted persecution, or random persecution?

I suppose it depends on if you're a member of the targeted group(s), or a random person.

I would choose to live under National Socialism rather than Soviet bolshevism in the 30's. The Third Reich was a tolerable place to live as long as you were not Jewish or communist and not constantly openly critical of the regime.

Stalin's random paranoid persecutions of party officials, military officers, Ukranian farmers, and other perceived enemies made the Soviet Union a dysfunctional state and very unpleasant place to live.

Hitler's Germany would not be ideal for me, though, because I don't believe Hitler was truly committed to socialism. Also, I do favor autocracy, but not suppression of basic rights. I might choose the more "liberal" post-Stalin USSR over NS Germany.

1930s I would obviously say Nazi Germany due to the fact they were enjoying an economic boom and in Russia Stalin was sending everyone to the Gulags, however after 1941 I would obviously pick Russia. Lets be honest though neither would be very enjoyable.

I think 1943 would be a better time to switch over to the soviets
 
1943 is the year I was born and in its own way, is the before and after year of the entire universe. I'm sorry for any problems I've caused.

I blame YOU for everything!
 
I think it would be really interesting to live in the USSR under Lenin, and Gorbachev.
 
Interesting maybe, enjoyable doubtful.

I need to stay away from loud music, and floss.
