Bold Standard Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 In chapter 17 of Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal, Ayn Rand says: "It is a matter of record that in the German Election of 1933, the Communist Party was ordered by its leaders to vote for the Nazis - with the explanation that they could later fight the Nazis for power, but first they had to help destroy their common enemy : capitalism and its parliamentary form of government." This claim has been disputed in another thread, so I wondered if anyone knows where I can find evidence of its validity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeganSnow Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Did you try looking in the bibilography in CUI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 The Ominous Parallels also makes mention of this fact, in quite a bit more detail. I believe Dr. Peikoff provides references, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Standard Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 The original topic where the issue was brought up ishere.. I only have CUI on the Objectivism Research CD Rom, and I'm not good at navigating through that yet. So I didn't check the bibliography, or realize that there was one. I'll have to next time I go to my mom's house. I thought that _The Ominous Parallels_ had a reference to that event as well, but I ran about a dozen searches on the CD Rom and I couldn't find anything about it. I only found quotes from the German Liberal Democrat Party about working with the Nazis to fight the common enemy of Capitalism. But again, I'm a newbie with that CD Rom and its search feature, and my mom's computer is slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
