Why did so many Germans support Hitler?

[sparky]

How did we go from a discussion about:

"Why did so many Germans support Hitler?"
​

to this debate about whether or not Hitler was a socialist?

Do we think that the German people are unique in wanting some basic social welfare from their governments, or something?

Hitler was what he was.

What you call him depends on whether or not you have a CLUE what socialism really is.

Which, most of you , apparently, do NOT.

Hey, editec...maybe you can't read between the lines, or notice the 800 lb. gorilla in the room...

WHAT bigrebnc1775 is saying:

Hitler was a leftist, Obama and Democrats are leftist = Obama is a Hitler and Democrats are fascists.

AND the right wingers are the protectors of America...

so is that the pitter patter of little jackboots heard as we near november here?

Yeah, so noted.

Basically that was Hitler's POV, too.

That the government was awash with leftists (most of them Jews) and therefore the VOLK needed to kill all the leftists (and Jews).

This board is awash with NAZIs overt and crypto.

Because most Germans were terrified and angry, at their leadership, at the War result, at their totally dysfunctional economy. They gave up a lot and got nothing in return. What Hitler managed to do was funnel that angre by offering a solution based on total exclusion and blame - it was the fault of the gays, of the Jews, of the communists, etc, and people bought it, because it was easier to believe that than to handle the truth and the thought of real solutions based on inclusion and peace. It's always easier to side with the people that want more guns and bigger armies and more violence. And of course, the Allies didn't help.
