Messed up title as the “Right wing” and “Anti-fascists” are the same people.

nice post...many freepers fail to see the convoluted evolution of right/left, facist/collectivist, democrat/republican etc

it is a very serpentine history and a lot of overlap

national Socialists were indeed Nationalistic (which is a right wing trait more often than it is only the Left), Socialist..sorta Indu-Oligarchic-Socialist, and quite a bit Facist

freepers eschew nuance and like things simple

just watch folks here draw a straight line from Thaddeus Stevens to Tom DeLay...lol

to say Nazis were as leftist as USSR or Mao is nonsensical and untrue but it’s fun to take a stab at it

Not least because, from his earliest street-fighting days and throughout his subsequent career, Hitler's enmity was directed above all to Bolsheviks and Marxists.

that enmity had much to do with his Jew hatred....he saw their involvement in Collectivism and blamed them all for it

that and some other peculiarities he had..maybe just plain old psychotic resentment

when I was a boy 20 years after the war the conventional wisdom was he had to pick someone...a target group...I never believed that

he really hated Jews viscerally and used his power to act on it..and he didn't just decide to go kill a few million of them for political strategy.

Looks a lot more like the English people are standing up agaist the Muslim scumbags that the coward ass leftie Governments flood into the UK,and are now openly attacking the British People! Well it looks to me also, the the British People are realizing it’s not just the IslamoFasciszts that need to be thrown out of Britain, but a whole lot of corrupt and scummy Government Leftie turds too!
Exile all their geneticly inferior asses, along with all the filthy Muslims that think they can take over by force, and if thety won’t go peacefully, them send them on their way to Allah by burning them to death in their “No Go Zones”.
