George Bernard Shaw Defends Hitler, Mass Murder

PLEASE READ: In this clip from the 2008 film "The Soviet Story", we see that George Bernard Shaw, the celebrated progressive playwright defended Hitler, advocated killing those who can't justify their existence and called for the development of lethal gas 10 years before the national socialists in Germany did exactly that.

George Bernard Shaw was one of the left's most revered figures and the only person besides Al Gore to win both an Oscar and a Nobel prize.

In this clip Snore documents three points that many viewers find disturbing:

1. Shaw was a vocal supporter of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini
2. Shaw supported mass killing of the unproductive
3. Shaw advocated creating a Zyklon-B type gas to allow more "humane" mass killing

The historical record for these claims is clear, but many posters dispute the second point by stating (without support) that Shaw was being sarcastic. Unfortunately, this is clearly not the case as is clear from reading the broad context of Shaw's writings.

When Shaw's controversial statements on eugenics were reported in the media, he did not dispute them or claim that the quotes were taken out of context.

I welcome anyone to challenge the director on these points, but please provide specific support for any claims rather than just stating your own wistful thinking on the topic.

Also, to avoid betraying your ignorance on Shaw's views, please read at least section one of the preface to Shaw's play "On the Rocks" which fleshes out the full logic and substance of Shaw's view on "extermination".

You'll find that he was deadly serious and avoid sounding foolish by being the 1000th person to post "he was being sarcastic" or "this was taken out of context."

Plus, G B Shaw often used sarcasm when talking to people that he felt were taking eugenics too far. He believed in a natural attraction process. For him that meant a Queen should have the right to marry a sailor, if they were so attracted. A belief that was shocking to the class system prevalent in that day. But I've seen people twist his sarcasm to say that he believed in a Hitler's ideals of an aryan nation. Not true. GBS's comments were laced with sarcasm and irony.

This clip is standard new History Channel propaganda backed up by idiots from Phd farms.

i see alot of soviet apologitst have taken up the comments.

This is hilarious. Shaw was not justifying exterminating Jews, or Social Democrats, or homosexuals or any of the people that Hitler would later target. In fact, he often made fun of Hitler for taking eugenics to such retarded extremes.

This came from a March 1931 newsreel in which he was asked by the press what he thought would make for viable and reasonable reforms to the English system of criminal justice. He thought CRIMINALS should have to be examined like this, not everybody and anybody.

@megatherium100 Now this is beautiful internet sarcasm.

Oh read some real factual evidence. In the Nazi Germany douring the 20s and 30s workers often switched between NSDAP and the communist party back and forth. Before Hitler took over the party completely there were voices inside the party elite calling for the unification with the german socialist party. The Nazis were socialists in their rhetoric, program and promises and that is all you need to garner support from leftists.

he supported the soviet union and was in favor of comunism, this is a fake, the first thing you hate being a nazi are the comunists

[SlimzProductionz]

shaw could never support this, he actually supported equal rights, this can't be true, i find it hard to believe

Since when did George Bernard Shaw become 'a popular British playwright'?

So a man who was born, reared & educated in Dublin to Irish parents, and later went on marry an Irishwoman. A man who had no intention of accepting public honour & despised people basked in self-gratification, but accepted his Nobel Prize & Oscar solely in tribute to his native Ireland, is British?

If that's the case then, William Shakespeare was an true Irishman, whilst the Queen of England is of proud Congolese stock.
