I'm amazed that the ones calling everyone a Nazi or a white supremacist is also forming a new party called "democratic socialism".

You can't stand the least criticism and your "logic" can be destroyed at whim. You are the very last person to speak about what others can or can't handle.

Then explain why Hitler never removed the word "socialist" from the name of his party? Lots easier to do, and no killing involved.

I don't know what to tell you. He really, really wanted to kill all the socialists. He wrote a book about how much he wanted to kill the socialists, he hated them so much. Why would he pass up a chance to fulfill his dream?

Why don't you answer the question? Because you are so totally full of shit, you can't do it.

If you are right, then a man who allegedly hated socialism with a burning passion couldn't be bothered with a simple name change to eliminate something he hated?

You are a f**king idiot.

Source: Against the mainstream: Nazi privatization in 1930s Germany
Germà Bel, Universitat de Barcelona i ppre-IREA

The Nazis privatized everything wherever they could. Whoever told you they nationalized was lying to you.

If academics aren't accepting your answers, then that should worry you a lot more than it should me.

I am not the f**king idiot that cannot accept the fact the Nazis nationalized far more than they privatized. I am not the f**king idiot flailing against all reality. I am not the f**king idiot who cannot see the Nazis were socialists.

That is you.

I can, you just went "bla bla bla" and didn't read it.

Here's the thing, though: most people DO read this stuff. So when you go "but the Nazis were socialist!" everybody but you knows that you're wrong.

Once again :

By the early 1940s, Hitler had nationalized over 500 industrial companies in and around Germany.

That's socialism, you f**king idiot.

Were the Nazis socialists? It's a question so easy to answer only liberals and academics can't understand the answer.

The man himself in 1935: "The Germany of today is a National Socialist State. The ideology that dominates us is in diametrical contradiction to that of Soviet Russia. National Socialism is a doctrine that has reference exclusively to the German people. Bolshevism lays stress on international mission. We National Socialists believe a man can, in the long run, be happy only among his own people. We are convinced the happiness and achievements of Europe are indissolubly tied up with the continuation of the system of independent and free national States. Bolshevism preaches the establishment of a world empire and recognizes only section of a central international. We National Socialists grant each people the right to its own inner life according to its needs and its own nature. Bolshevism, on the other hand, establishes doctrinal theories that are to be accepted by all peoples, regardless of their particular essence, their special nature, traditions, etc. National Socialism speaks up for the solution of social problems, issues and tensions in their own nation, with methods that are consistent with our common human, spiritual, cultural and economic beliefs, traditions and conditions." Go argue with THAT guy. He's the one you're frustrated against, answering your questions in a manner that disproves your point.

Here's another one, 1923: "Socialism is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists."

"Hitler paid lip service to the tenets suggested by a name like National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but his primary—indeed, sole—focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda. After the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch, in November 1923, Hitler became convinced that he needed to utilize the teetering democratic structures of the Weimar government to attain his goals.

Over the following years the brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser did much to grow the party by tying Hitler’s racist nationalism to socialist rhetoric that appealed to the suffering lower middle classes. In doing so, the Strassers also succeeded in expanding the Nazi reach beyond its traditional Bavarian base. By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall, Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front). Gregor remained the head of the left wing of the Nazi Party, but the lot for the ideological soul of the party had been cast.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month. That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Lest there be any remaining questions about the political character of the Nazi revolution, Hitler ordered the murder of Gregor Strasser, an act that was carried out on June 30, 1934, during the Night of the Long Knives. Any remaining traces of socialist thought in the Nazi Party had been extinguished."

"That's socialism, you f**king idiot."

A minimum wage is also Socialism. So are Worker rights, Women rights, Racial equality, holidays, paid leave days and the list goes on. Just because one idealouge practiced it doesn't mean others can't do the same. And as far as i am concerned Fascism also didn't have any capitalism, additionally that is during the 1940s WW2, Germany, or the rest of the world for that matter, couldn't afford Free trade and securing the industry for war was key

"Were the Nazis socialists? It's a question so easy to answer only liberals and academics can't understand the answer."

Well it seems more to me that you don't, but chins up you got an actual Fascist (Or Communazi) who supports you

Sounds like they heavily played up the socialist agenda to try to garner support if the masses, then they did whatever they wanted once they achieved absolute power.

Don't think socialism in America or any other country is any different.

"Sounds like they heavily played up the socialist agenda to try to garner support if the masses, then they did whatever they wanted once they achieved absolute power."

Absolutely. Hitler never belived in Socialism. In fact he detested it and its supporters.

"Don't think socialism in America or any other country is any different"

Nobody is pushing for socialism in western countries. Outside of some fringe groups of course. Now you might say "But Gylbert, they literally call themselves Democratic "Socialists" sounds socialist to me" To that I reply what you guys in America call Democratic Socialism, the rest of the world Calls Social Democracy, just like you call football soccer and the rest of the world football.
