I liked Rush’s definition: “The difference between Socialism and Communism, is that Socialists let you live.”
no. Hitler was no Communist, he was a socialist
On the night of the long knives the radical Brown Shirt Homosexuals who were Hitler's street thugs were liquidated, FWIW.
Apparently, as an aftereffect of Spanish colonialism, there is a shortage of last names in the Phillippines, causing all kinds of problems with record keeping, credit ratings, criminal records, and so on. To fight the confusion parents resort to giving their children unusual and unique first names. An article I read some years ago mentioned a fellow whose first name was Hitler, which doesn’t resonate in that culture the same way it would in the West.
Hitler had a funny name before he changed it.
Alois Schicklgruber became Adolf Hitler.
Hitler considered Marxism as the political creature and creation of Jews [Marx, Trotsky, Zinoviev, etc], and as internationalist in nature. As an anti-Semite and a German [one might say Pan-German] nationalist, he abhorred Marxism. Adolf Hitler was NO Communist.
What’s the difference if he was a Fascist, Marxist, Leninist, Socialist, Hitlerist(?), or a Communist? They’re all dictators, and that everybody puts Fascist on the right side of the political divide is a travesty.
Ernst Rahm was one of Hitlers early supporters and was dragged out of a bed he was sharing with another man that night.
Hitler admired their propaganda, and took the red [which he considered a revolutionary color] for his flag [and posters] to “stick his finger in their eye”, so to speak.
Aloios Schickelgruber was Adolf Hitler’s father, and had been born illegitimate. Long before Hitler weas born, Alos’ father, Gregor[?] Hitler, recognized Alois as his child, and was then put on the bierth certificate as his father, and Alois Schickelgruber became Alois Hitler; all long before the birh of HIS son, Adolf Hitler.

Ernst Roehm was the Chief of Staff [and de facto commander] of the Sturmabteilung, or SA (the Brownshirts). He was also a very left-wing Nazi [the SA were known as ‘beefsteak Nazis’-brown on the outside, red on the inside].
Roehm kept calling for the ‘second revolution’, and wanted to incorporate the German Army into the SA as a sort of revolutionary militia. He refused to quiet down when told to by hitler, Hess, and others. He was seized at a gathering of SA leaders oredered by Hitler. Hitler himself participated in Roehm’s seizure. He was taken to stadelhelm prison where, after he refused the opportunity to kill himself, he was murdered by Theodore Eicke, the commandant of Dachau, and one or two other SS officers.
And to attract them. Communism and Naziism are closely related.
The Nazi body count is much higher than that. Jews alone lost 6 million but every European nationality involved in the war could claim victims.
Russians had 20 million dead although I have long suspected Stalin was responsible for many of those.
The answer is very simple: from the 1920's until the fall of the Soviet Union, "left wing" meant supportive of the goals of the Comintern, "right wing" meant opposed to the goals of the Comintern. Thus, Tories, Republicans, Nazis, monarchists, fascists, Democrat Cold Warriors, Christian Democrats, classical liberals, nationalists of just about any description, were (and by linguistic inertia still are) called "right wing", while Labourites, Democrat pacifists, Communists, socialists, social democrats (esp. of the "nuclear freeze" supporting type), etc. were and are called "left wing".
So he was sort of a misfit/nerd before becoming a community organizer and graduating to politics? sounds familiar.

Nerds are at least smart and proficient in something technical.
