In summary, Nazism was the first weapon of mass destruction and it was levelled against communism in Germany and Europe. When the nazis were on the brink of power the ruling classes pushed them over the brink with their hatred, fear and derision of working class gains in Germany and Europe at the time. Rebellion to capitalism was spreading and the ruling classes wanted a solution. Nazism is a reactionary derivative of capitalism and nothing else. It only exists in capitalism. Malcolm X always said 'you can't have capitalism without racism'.That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. A weapon is a specific item. An object, not a concept.

And the rise of Naziism had/has nothing to do with capitalism.

A weapon is not just a physical item, ie; propaganda as a weapon. Something used to defeat an enemy. But let's not play semantics, it wasn't the nature of this thread. Nazism can only exist in a capitalist world. Tell me what mean when you say it has nothing to do with it?

Nazi Germany wasn't capitalist. It was fascist. There's a huge difference.

Fascism and Capitalism are hardly exclusive of each other.

1. What is the first weapon of mass destruction?

The first weapon of mass destruction is generally considered to be the atomic bomb, specifically the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States in 1945 during World War II.

2. How does the first weapon of mass destruction work?

The atomic bomb works by splitting the nuclei of atoms, creating a chain reaction and releasing massive amounts of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This explosion can cause widespread destruction and devastating effects on human life and the environment.

3. Who created the first weapon of mass destruction?

The first weapon of mass destruction was created by a team of scientists and engineers working on the Manhattan Project, a top-secret government program in the United States during World War II. The project was led by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and involved many other renowned scientists, including Albert Einstein.

4. How many people died from the first weapon of mass destruction?

The exact number of deaths from the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not known, but it is estimated that at least 200,000 people were killed as a direct result of the explosions and the effects of radiation. Many more have died in the years since due to radiation-related illnesses.

5. Are there any other weapons of mass destruction besides the first one?

Yes, there are several other types of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nuclear weapons. These are all defined as weapons that have the capability to cause widespread destruction and casualties on a large scale. The use of these weapons is highly regulated by international laws and treaties.
