I'm not playing semantics. There have been socialist gvmnts that are not Nazis. My argument is that it is factually untrue to claim Nazis were far right, when they were clearly socialists.
Calling the Nazis "socialists" is painting them with a 21st Century brush, may be comforting to you but it's historically inaccurate. Such comparisons will also give you a false sense that it couldn't happen in the US, but in fact, it's already happening.
In much the same way that Jews, Roma, and other marginalized people came under attack in Germany after Hitler's election, Jews, Muslims, blacks, and women are coming under attack in Trump's America.
I understand that it's very convenient for you to pin your little labels on historical figures and then dismiss them as being irrelevant to today's situation, but the parallels between Weimar Germany and the today's USA that should not be ignored or glossed over.
The scapegoating of immigrants and Muslims, the "Make American Great Again" slogan, the racist undertones of this candidate is very alarming and should not be dismissed lightly.
Remember everything that the nazi's did they copied from the communists in the decade preceeding their rise to power. The nazi's based all their plans on the communists beliefs and it was only when the war ended that the left decided to distance themselves from the Nazi party. The truth will out and when it does the left will be running for the hills rather than be tarred with the Nazi brush
Hiltlers program was to make Germany Great Again so that Aryans could assert their natural place as the dominant ruling race in the world. And to wipe the Jewish race from the face of the earth.
Hitler's goal was World domination. He was starting a movement. He was taking control of the world to build the 1000 year Reich.
He wanted to restore the German people's faith in their government and to make them strong.
There is no comparison between communism in Russia and Nazism in Germany.
Sounds pretty similar
