The GLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE EDUCATION (www.peace-ed-campaign.org) is campaigning against Holocaust denial and distortion. (1)

Fair enough. Very fair. But wouldn't it be fairer to combat the humanitarian catastrophes that Putin and Putinists are committing in Ukraine, and some Maoists want to follow Putin's example and suggestions? According to Putin, China should invade Taiwan as he invaded Ukraine, and some Putinist, imperialist, militaristic, Machiavellian, and Maoist reactionary Chinese politicians agree with him. Putin, like Hitler and Stalin, increased his popularity with each war. Few know that World War II was not solely Hitler's fault, but Stalin's. It was Stalin who first proposed a peace treaty to Hitler, but with a secret agreement to invade and divide Poland and future zones of influence between them. There is no doubt about the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. But few know that Stalin was a greater criminal against humanity than Hitler, according to some historians responsible for 40 million victims, mass murders, purges, gulags, etc. Putin wants to rehabilitate Stalin's image and dictatorship, to restore the greatness of the USSR, which was only possible through the plunder and enslavement of the vanquished. After 35 years in Germany, the differences between the East, robbed by the USSR, and the West remain: tax inheritance in 2024 was 15 times lower, wages - 21%, assets per person - 56% lower, etc. The best campaign for current and future peace is to combat Putin, who most resembles Hitler, and the Putinists who support him in the invasion of Ukraine, who resemble the Nazis and Stalinists who supported Hitler and Stalin in the invasion of Poland. I propose the slogan: PEACE: NEVER again MAO & Maoists, HITLER & Nazis, STALIN & Stalinists, PUTIN & Putinists.

I had great sympathy for the current Chinese and enjoyed shopping at their businesses. But after learning that China is the main financier of today's two worst criminals, Putin and Kim Jong Un, I believe that part of every euro I spend on Chinese products will fuel the crimes of the invasion of Ukraine. As long as China supports Putin in his crimes in Ukraine, I propose campaigns on everything Chinese with the slogan: PEACE in Ukraine: NEVER again MAO & Maoists, HITLER & Nazis, STALIN & Stalinists, PUTIN & Putinists. The best peace education campaign might be an open letter to Xi Jinping: tell your friend Putin to stop the war, or we'll stop buying Chinese products so we won't be complicit in the crimes in Ukraine. If you try to invade Taiwan, all the most civil and peaceful people in the world will hate you, just as they hate Putin today, and it will do more harm than good to the Chinese people, with the slogan "NEVER again MAO & Maoists, HITLER & Nazis, STALIN & Stalinists, PUTIN & Putinists."

According to a German TV documentary, Maoism cost the lives of 40 million opponents of Mao Zedong's communism, and another 40 million died of hunger because Maoist communism was ineffective. In fact, China's current economic greatness is due to its move away from Maoism and, better yet, from capitalism. The Germans are ashamed of Nazism. In Germany, any apology for Nazism is prohibited. Shouldn't the Chinese do the same? Has any politician in human history committed more crimes than Mao Zedong? Don't the Chinese Putinists who want to invade Taiwan deserve to be fought more to prevent the next war of invasion of Taiwan?

I propose memorials and monuments in front of all embassies and consulates of the Putinists who support Putin in the invasion of Ukraine, all those present in Moscow on "Victory Day," with the inscription: PEACE: NEVER again MAO & Maoists, HITLER & Nazis, STALIN & Stalinists, PUTIN & Putinists.

I propose open letters to all Putinist politicians and their people: be ashamed of being accomplices of the worst criminal of our time, accomplices of the worst crimes against humanity in Ukraine, and accomplices of the worst crimes against the entire world with pollution, environmental destruction, armaments, war deaths, hunger, and other consequences. For PEACE in Ukraine, we campaign: NEVER again MAO & Maoists, HITLER & Nazis, STALIN & Stalinists, PUTIN & Putinists.

Combating Holocaust denial and distortion... Antisemitic hate speech, disinformation, and conspiracy theories thrive during crises, making it vital that teachers address these issues in school curricula. Social media has significantly amplified the spread of such harmful content, including Holocaust denial and distortion... Antisemitic prejudice and conspiracy thinking threaten our shared historical memory and promote hatred and war rather than peace.
