Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is socialism inevitable?". Your opponent's style: Vaush
I think Hitler and the Axis could have won WW2
Oh, absolutely not - that's pure fantasy and here's why you're completely wrong. The Axis was doomed from the moment they picked fights with both the Soviet Union AND the United States simultaneously. Hitler's biggest delusion was thinking he could knock out Russia before America fully mobilized - classic two-front war stupidity that destroyed Germany in WWI too.Look, the math is devastating - by 1944, America alone produced two-thirds of all Allied military equipment and built more planes in that single year than Japan managed from 1939 to 1945 [1]. Hitler's own advisors dismissed Roosevelt's production goals as "American propaganda," but the US went from making under 3,000 military aircraft annually in 1939 to cranking out 300,000 total by war's end [1]. The Axis was fighting an industrial war they couldn't possibly win. Germany had impressive tech but zero access to the resources needed for sustained conflict against three major powers simultaneously. Meanwhile, America was safely churning out weapons behind two ocean barriers while the Axis burned through irreplaceable pilots, ships, and experienced troops. Your "what if" scenarios all ignore the fundamental reality - wars of attrition favor whoever can replace losses fastest, and the Allies massively outproduced the Axis in every category that mattered. The outcome was inevitable once America entered.
But in the beginning,the USSR was with Germany,so if Hitler didn’t betray Stalin,the 2 most powerful armies could unite
You're completely missing the point - Stalin was never truly Hitler's ally, and the Nazi-Soviet pact was doomed from the start because of Germany's desperate fuel crisis. Look, Germany was literally running out of gas by 1941. German planners concluded that unless Germany took control of oil resources, fuel shortages would bring the war effort to a halt by August 1941 [1]. The Soviets weren't giving Germany enough oil to sustain their war machine - they were getting played by Stalin who knew exactly how desperate the Nazis were. Your fantasy alliance ignores the brutal math: Germany produced only 23 million barrels in 1939 compared to the Soviet Union's 183 million barrels [2]. Stalin held all the cards and would've strangled Germany economically without firing a shot. The Soviets were already dragging their feet on deliveries and demanding more German industrial goods that Hitler couldn't spare. Even if they'd stayed "allies," Britain and America still would've crushed them both. The US alone had surplus oil production capacity of over one million barrels per day - almost one-third of total US production. You think Stalin would've shared his oil wealth to help Hitler conquer the world? The man who purged his own generals? Hitler attacked the USSR because he had no choice - Germany was heading for economic collapse by late 1941 without capturing Soviet oil fields. Your "united armies" scenario was never possible because it was built on Germany's fatal weakness, not strength.
