Despite the enmity and hatred that separated them, Communism and Nazism had much more in common than meets the eye. One enemy - bourgeois society and one goal - to "cleanse the world" by any means, even violating the laws of humanity.
Italian sociologist and journalist Luciano Pellicani comes to this opinion. Based on various sources and his conclusions, he proves that this is where the desire of both Hitler and Lenin to carry out such a powerful revolution so that the world would become perfect and finally begin to correspond to their views comes from. However, at a historical distance, we understand that the ideals of both Nazism and Communism led to one point - cruel totalitarianism.
