Hitler was ingenious in naming the Nazi Party to appeal to disparate groups.

It stands for National German Socialist Workers Party.

Nationalist and German were considered to be right-wing terms.

Socialist and Workers were considered to be left-wing terms.

Thus he was able to attract people from both extremes of the political spectrum, left and right.

"Nationalist and German were considered to be right-wing terms.."

Huh?!?!

The NAZI Party was the National Socialist German Workers' Party or NSDAP.


Right Wing means smaller government, less government control!
Left wingers or LIBERALS want more government control. Left wingers WANT dictatorships. The NAZI government was a DICTATORSHIP!! It was very left wing.

The NAZIS .... were NATIONALISTS... right wingers are FEDERALISTS! A federalist want smaller pockets of government that the citizens can control. A nationalist (like liberals) want a larger centralized single government.

Nationalist and German were considered to be right-wing terms.?!?!? Where did you learn that garbage noobie?

Your advanced public school history education shines like a lighthouse on a stormy foggy night.

I was reading that the term "Nazi" was also a gutteral reference to "Nationalize" or the nationalization of private industries, consolidating them under state control.

Nazis not Liberals? Certainly not. Neither is the left in truth, their consolidation of so many different interests is simply the accumulation of useful idiots they can use to undermine the nation. They are hurled against the politcal wall like so much fecal matter, to see what will stick and be used to damage the country.

And I suspect once they have consolidated their power, these groups will find that they are of no more use to those who have siezed that power, in a most upsetting manner.

The right doesn't see people in balkanzied terms of race, we see Americans and work to promote the interests of all Americans. As a group, since we do not make a point to distinguish ourselves as being made up of multiple races/cultures, it's easy for the left to portray us as "old white men", when the right is more representative of an advanced state of race relations - an integrated society.
