From Flopping Aces:
Leftists and Liberals absolutely love to smear opponents as Nazis. In fact, Nazism belongs firmly on the left. Nazism is an abbreviation for National Socialist German Workers Party. The only way Nazism differs to Communism is that it is National Socialism whereas Communism is International Socialism. All of the rest is the same old Socialist dogma – state control of means of production, forcibly imposed collectivism with the individual reduced to a servant of the state and obviously, the Nazis were fiercely anti-capitalism.
Whilst he was still a journalist, Adolf Hitler was invited to join the then German Workers Party – the DAP – after giving a beguiling speech on how capitalism could be destroyed. The Nazis also promoted promiscuity, abortion, expanded the welfare state, and Hitler himself was a vegetarian and an environmentalist. The Nazis were pro-gun control and one of the first things they did was to outlaw gun ownership.
Then there’s the mass murder of human beings. The Nazis killed about 21 million people, a bit of an amateur effort compared to the Communist killing machines in the USSR and the Peoples’ Republic of China. It should never ever be forgotten that Nazism is a leftist ideology firmly rooted in Marxism. You cannot understand Communism or Nazism without understanding Marxism. This also applies to Mussolini’s Fascism – Italian National Socialism. Ignorant leftists who accuse others of being “far right” Nazis share the same Socialist beliefs as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini and Hitler. Remind them: Socialism is the progression to the Gulags of the USSR, the Laogais of China and the Konzentrationslagers of Nazi Germany. Odd how all of these brutal Socialist regimes had forced labor camps isn’t it?
I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to agree to disagree.
I have an actual History Degree from Balliol College, Oxford University and I was taught ACTUAL proper history.
Not re-hashes, conspiracies or Revisionist Hollywood history.
I refuse to participate more in this thread, to be told that Communism and Fascism are almost the same thing.
Next you’ll be telling me that the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party are LIBERALS and telling me the Australian Liberal Party are LIBERALS.
That there’s no actual difference between them and Liberals and Lefties all over the planet.
BTW a while ago on the BBC they had a political debate with an audience and a member of the audience said:
“Well Hitler was a Socialist”
And the panel of Professors on the stage ALL laughed at that member of the audience and the majority of the audience laughed at them as well.
They laughed with good reason, because it’s rubbish that’s why.
