OP's a moron, Nazism and Marxism share the attributes of tyranny(extremism) and collectivism but the similarities end there: Nazism is VERY racist and strictly anti-communist bc they don't accept the Marxist class conflict concept and internationalism, private property and business was permitted in Nazi Germany and Nazi-occupied territories.

socialists not fascists


Fascists are socialists...
Fascists seek an intertwined industrial an governmental base...
They use abortion, sterilization, captivity and death to shape their population
They like universal healthcare and income
They like expansion of territory

There is a lot in common with them and the way the US works today...

Have you seen our prison system?

Revisionist myth. They were a conservative movement and the first thing they did was send all the communists to prison camps.

lol you do know that the nazis blamed the burning of the reichstag on communists so that they could grab more power, right? Hitler detested both socialists and leftists, and he routinely maligned Marxism as a 'Jewish weapon' in Mein Kampf.

edit: btw the authenticity of that book you quoted is heavily disputed by scholars

A worker's party that eliminated labor rights.

They used a lot of words they didn't actually fulfill the meanings of. I doubt you would stand by their use of the word "liberators" to describe their aggressions.

i agree with you, to me its very simple, any advocacy of increased government or government run business is left in nature.

No that is authoritarianism. Ever take take that political compass quiz? You guys are confounding the two dimensions.

Is this what they teach nowadays in Louisiana? Or perhaps the topic is left to figure out via Breitbart et al?

Wow at the ignorance of the OP.

National Socialism was similar to Marxism in that it was authoritarian, but the ideologies were widely in opposition to one another aside from that. A very rudimentary reading of Hitler and other leading Nazi figures will show overwhelming contempt and condemnation for Marxism and Bolshevism. There's really no confusing where the Nazis stood in this respect. They were unequivocally anti-Marxist.


Listen to this man

Point being, comparing the Nazis to America's right/left spectrum is a fool's errand.


But where's the fun in that?

lol at calling people sheep when you're the one who doesn't realize that Europe is filled with political parties with very populist/pro-labor/socialist sounding names that are not actually populist, pro-labor, or socialist. This is because men's suffrage occurred during the industrialization of Europe, so the ability for every man to vote occurred at the same time that labor movements were forming. Lots of parties have names that sound leftist, but are actually right-wing.

It's just branding/historical vestige.

It's absolutely true. Bernie is far closer to a nazi socialist than Trump. And I've never been a big Trump fan

Remind me which American party loves that strong central government again? You either want freedom for all or you want your brand of freedom for all.

At this point, both seem to love different versions of it.

Many Leftists are openly anti-semitic. It doesn't take long to find an Antifa flyer online that is openly antisemitic, for example.
generally speaking, antifa is explicitly anti-racist, so that doesn't make any sense

anti-racism is one of the primary ideals of antifa

it's a decentralized group so i'm not saying that there aren't some anti-semitic antifa out there, but that would be very peculiar and self-contradictory

All those Hitler quotes prove is that Hitler either did not understand Marxism or he was a liar. IMHO, he was probably both. To suggest that Marxism is democratic as AH did is absurd. In fact, PART of Hitler's appeal to the German business class was fear of Marxism or Communism.

On an ideological scale, Nazism and Marxism were polar opposites.

On a methodological scale, both were outside the system and often used similar tactics.
