Both parties sound like Nazi to me.

The appeal of the Nazis
In the 1920s, the Nazis tried to be all things to all people. The 25-Point Programme had policies that were:

  • Socialist - eg farmers should be given their land; pensions should improve; and public industries such as electricity and water should be owned by the state.
  • Nationalist - all German-speaking people should be united in one country; the Treaty of Versailles should be abolished; and there should be special laws for foreigners.
  • Racist - Jews should not be German citizens and immigration should be stopped.
  • Fascist - a strong central government and control of the newspapers.
 
The Nazis appeared to offer a better future and something for everyone which gave them widespread appeal.

The Nazi ideology:

  • Lebensraum - the need for 'living space' for the German nation to expand.
  • A strong Germany - the Treaty of Versailles should be abolished and all German-speaking people united in one country.
  • Führer - the idea that there should be a single leader with complete power rather than a democracy.
  • Social Darwinism - the idea that the Aryan race was superior and Jews were 'subhuman'.
  • Autarky - the idea that Germany should be economically self-sufficient.
  • Germany was in danger - from Communists and Jews, who had to be destroyed.
 
That Nazi comparison stuff is wearing thin now.Yaks in hats remind me of, but then left-handed chicken pluckers , then there is...My father fought against like REAL NAZIS. They weren't cartoons, they were real people too. Like YOU and me. They paid the price for their blithe acceptance . And well, if anyone needs their asses kicked because THEY just blindly accept a political ideology because it sounds good, well, that could bloody well apply to anyone.
