He's significantly less Nazi when he's on his meds, so it's likely.

Well they did meet actually.

Again, that doesn't mean the camps were built for slave labor. In fact, camps like Birkenau didn't have slave labor when it was designed and built. It wasn't even built near any industrial capacity. Almost none of the camps did. Only once the war with the Soviets started stagnating did the Nazis facilitate slave labor at a greater scale.

Auschwitz III was a slave labor camp. Earlier camps like Auschwitz II was an extermination camp.

You don't build a slave labor camp with enough furnaces to burn half a million corpses per year, without facilities for the prisoners to do any labor.

Plenty of those people could have worked. Slave labor was not the primary purpose of the camps.

Hmm, reminds me of another dickhead 🤔

You don't kill 1,47 million people in 100 days through working people to death. Those people were largely just exterminated, as Hitler also spoke of the "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe".

I think you may also be confusing the concentration camps with the extermination camps. Read up on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Reinhard, millions were deported to one of six extermination camps the Nazis built. Or Aktion T4. There's plenty of sources that show the intent was to kill, any slave labor was just a nice benefit.

Slaves you keep alive on purpose, because they're no use of you dead. The Nazis did no such thing, because they preferred their victims dead.

I'm not willing to let them walk around my country

Which is weird too, like he's not charged with a crime so what makes him different from a random El Salvadoran citizen?

Oh yes the Rwandan genocide really was incredibly brutal. If there had been a strong state apparatus I have little doubt that they could have matched the Holocaust rate. The intention was certainly there.

Please explain what "Yes there has been" was referring to then.

Did I say the slave trade was an industrial genocide?

Yes you did. The comment you replied to said:

The holocaust is the name for this specific event and there has not in human history been a larger industrially organized murder of a people.

You then replied with:

Yes, there has been. Neonazi propaganda is bad, but so is Zionist propaganda. The transatlantic slave trade put 12 million people on ships from Africa to the Americas.

The transatlantic slave trade, horrible as it was, took hundreds of years to make its victims, and was not a campaign of targeted extermination. There was little to no care for the slaves' lives, but their murder wasn't the goal.

The Holocaust only lasted from 41 to 45. 6 million jews were murdered in a span of only 4 years. In a period of just 100 days 1,47 million jews were systematically targeted and exterminated. That's nearly double the rate of the Rwandan genocide. It's the same amount of people who died on board of the slave ships spanning from the 16th to the 19th century. No genocide in history has a higher death rate than that. 90+% of Polish jews were murdered, a near total extinction.

That's what people refer to when they talk about the largest industrial genocide. No other genocide in our history has come close. The numbers do not lie, and calling the memory of the Holocaust "zionist propaganda" is pretty sickening. It's not just zionists that claim this you know, reputable historians around the world do.

Those plants were very old and already had their lifespan extended a couple times (for a lot of money). Ultimately they were decommissioned before the next end-of-life date, which perhaps was a bit early, but keeping them open indefinitely just wasn't feasible.
