I'm getting sick of a lot of memes.
The Republican candidate/president is LITERALLY Hitler is the tippy top of memes I'm sick of.
No, you fucking idiots, only Hitler is literally Hitler.
It's right up there, though, with "the Nazis weren't socialists" except if you read their founding materials and... IT'S RIGHT IN THE FUCKING NAME OF THE PARTY!!! National Socialist German Worker's Party (original German Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei).
I'm still baffled that Nazis are "far right" when they're barely right of the communists.
But then, one would have to read and not have been subjected to the socialist takeover of the universities and, perhaps most importantly, not be European.
Europe has the problem of trying to explain how their socialists are distinct from communism and the nazis so that they can remain in power.
The truth of the matter is that both communism and national socialism (and fascism) are variations of socialism. Almost all literally "Marx was so very close, but we fixed his mistake and this is REAL socialism!" Almost all...
Trying to distance socialism and Nazis by declaring the former "left wing" and the latter "far right wing" is splitting hairs over the implementation of the evil and not really acknowledging the evil.
Considering the reaction from the left wing about doing an honest, representative, republic; I think being accused of being ultra right wing is a badge of honor.
The right steals less, gets us into fewer wars and FREED THE SLAVES. The left side of the aisle... not so much.
I think the "right-wing Nazi" idea comes from Stalin's decree that there are no enemies to the left. No matter where it came from, it's easy to shoot down for a rational audience. I found an English translation of the actual NSDAP platform for the kiddies to read. That site is the Virginia Holocaust Museum, so let the charges of propaganda fly.
ReplyDeleteTL;DR: take a typical Socialist Workers' Party platform from that era, replace "proletariat" with "Aryan" and "capitalist" with "Jew", toss in a little glue logic, and that's pretty much it.
