It quotes Hitler right in the shitty article you linked that he thought the marxists had bastardized socialism, and that he was taking the term back from the marxists.

No, that’s false. He was right wing compared to EVERY party that considered themselves left of center. You are either poorly informed or a propagandist. No matter how many times you try to paint Hitler as left wing, he will still be a right wing radical.

How do you excuse central planning as right wing?

You don't. You're just wrong.

Hitler called himself a “socialist,” after redefining the term to exclude most of the basic indices of actual socialism:
quote:

Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic... We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national. We demand the fulfillment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity. To us state and race are one.”
George Sylvester Viereck interview (1923)

Except his collectivist nature and his desire to control the economy, none of which are right wing or capitalist..

Yep, he didn't like capitalism or communism, so he settled for his version of socialism.

Hitler was first, and foremost, a racist. His big idea was that the German people were being held down by Jews, who were mostly behind Communism. He was an economics illiterate whose economic theories were all in service of his main mission, which was genocide and conquest to make room economically and in land for the German people to thrive and take their place as the Master Race.

To paint Hitler as left or right based on his economic views is like calling Donald Trump a leftist because he got divorced.

Because it’s actually left wing, and progressives ALWAYS project the evil they do as the other side.

Left/right should be solely decided on economics you dummy.

Goddamn you are stupid. "Hitler favored a command economy but he wasn't left wing."

It can be left or right. The mistake you are making is in your apparent belief that laissez faire capitalism is the whole of right wing politics. It is not.

Do you think Franco was not right wing? He had the same sort of economic state control that Hitler espoused. To say that Franco, or Hitler, was not right wing is bizarre. If you time traveled to 2100 and met people who were arguing that Obama was right wing what would you think? That’s what folks from the 1930’s would think if they heard your lame attempts to categorize Hitler as left wing.

The problem with folks like you is you don’t read. If you had any experience reading the authors of that era you wouldn’t have to think twice about whether Hitler and Franco were men of the right. They were. They knew, the left knew it, and everyone else in the world knew it.

Let me ask this. Why do you think so many leftist left the comfort of the United States to go fight Franco (who was supported by Hitler)? Beating Franco, and Hitler, was a worldwide leftist crusade.

Roger will explain to you that war profiteers making heaps of personal wealth off of government contracts is actually what socialism is all about.

Guy was a socialist pushing collectivism. This leftist ideal that I can't be a racist because I'm a leftist is crap. And you haven't been honest in one post I've ever read of yours so I think I'd hold off calling someone else a propagandist if I were you.

There hasn’t been a major politician not posting some form of collectivism.

Otherwise you don’t have a government

He has already explained that anyone who defines "socialism" on any indicia other than economic is a "dummy."

Is there really any point trying to demonstrate otherwise?

People like this remind me of the Kevin Kline character (Otto) from "A Fish Called Wanda." They read extensively and memorize large parts of what they read. The distinction between reading and understanding tends to elude them.

The majority of this board is clearly anti-immigration. The Trump administration itself cut out 90% of immigration except for people who could pay $500k for one of the Kushner condos and that sort of thing.

Most people here aren't anti-gay either. We have family and friends who are gay and we love and support them.
This board absolutely melted when gay marriage was legalized by SCOTUS. It was a multi-week melt of epic proportion.

There are some, but definitely in the minority.

No. You have blinders on if you don't recognize that there is a solid far right wing of this board.

Right. I get your convenient little "we're all socialists now" ruse. But just like your autism, politics is on a spectrum.

Well, Franco's ideology was essentially identical to Hitler's, but he called his movement "Nationalism" rather than "National Socialism," so they are totally different.

In other breaking news, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been determined to be neither "democratic" nor a "republic." More at 11:00.

How do you feel about a party that believe in no property rights and no government?

Are they left because economically there is no private ownership or are they right because they believe in no government control?
