During the Holocaust, Nazis referred to Jews as rats. Hutus involved in the Rwanda genocide called Tutsis cockroaches. Slave owners throughout history considered slaves subhuman animals.
In ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Mesopotamian literature, there are repeated references to enemies as subhuman creatures. But it's not as simple as a comparison. When people dehumanize others, they actually conceive of them as subhuman creatures. Only then can the process "liberate aggression and exclude the target of aggression from the moral community."
When the Nazis described Jews as Untermenschen, or subhumans, they didn't mean it metaphorically. "They didn't mean they were like subhumans. They meant they were literally subhuman."
Hmmm....who on this board repeatedly speaks as if ONLY he and the socialists he supports have access to true MORALITY, how if you disagree and feel that the pursuit of profit isn't a moral failing, you have a SICKNESS.
This is how they think, and if you think socialism will end any differently in this country than how it has ended in literally every other country it's been attempted in, then you're not paying attention. Socialism ends with blood and hunger. Always has, always will.
