Only thing was he publicly protested the US going to war against Nazi Germany until Hitler betrayed his beloved Uncle Joe Stalin. It was only AFTER 12/7/1941 that put the slogan on his guitar.
And his guitar never did kill a damn Fascist.

The Nazis were Marxists, no matter what our tainted academia and corrupt media wishes us to believe. Nazis, Bolsheviks, the Ku Klux Klan, Maoists, radical Islam and Facists -- all are on the Left, something that should be increasingly apparent to decent, honorable people in our times. The Big Lie which places Nazis on some mythical Far Right was created specifically so that there would be a bogeyman manacled on the wrists of those who wish us to move "too far" in the direction of Ronald Reagan or Barry Goldwater.

The Lefties try to paint Conservatives with the "Nazi" stripe, but under closer inspection it washes off pretty well and sticks on them instead.
Hillary == Nazi.
hmmm....
Call them whatever else you will...both were and are repressive, ignore individual unalianebale rights, are totalitarian and lead to genocide...but they also differ in the finer points of how to implement their totalitarian regimes.

Bump!

Nazi’s were Marxists? Yeah, right. That’s why Hitler invaded Russia. Hitler had nothing but contempt for Marxists.
I would add Islamo-ism to the above quote.
Joseph Goebbels used Communist class struggle propaganda in order to recruit members of trade unions to the Nazi Party.
The Communists were, as ever, absolutist totalitarians; the Nazis were surely strongly authoritarian, but not quite totalitarian. Religions, for example (except Judaism, of course), were neither banned outright nor particularly persecuted, save when a cleric would speak out against Nazism.
on;y = only
Aside from megalomania, Hitler invaded Russia because he loathed the Slavs at least as much as the Jews. The fact that Russia was Communist then was simply a bonus, as far as Addled Adolph was concerned.
My eighth grade history teacher told us that the NAZIs were the worst because they killed Jews. He said Pol Pot, Mao nor Stalin discriminated against their victims.
I know, I know...
From my FR home page:
Although our modern socialists’ promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere, in recent years observer after observer has been impressed by the unforeseen consequences of socialism, the extraordinary similarity in many respects of the conditions under “communism” and “fascism.” As the writer Peter Drucker expressed it in 1939, “the complete collapse of the belief in the attainability of freedom and equality through Marxism has forced Russia to travel the same road toward a totalitarian society of un-freedom and inequality which Germany has been following. Not that communism and fascism are essentially the same. Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-Hitler Germany.”
No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.
— F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
Left socialists believed in a world movement to communism, Stalin. Right socialists, Hitler, El Duce in local State socialism, hence all communist(Statist)/socialist/liberal/Conservative movements are Right Wing, bad explanation, mind burner.
