Adolf, the magic Leftist

the world according to the left

Have you ever read a history book? NAZI was an acronym for Natioal SOCIALIST Party. No complicated

Everyone from the Brownshirts he had extirpated to the Soviet Union he went to war with might beg to differ. If they could.

Did you get to the part of the book where the man himself explicitly declared himself right-wing many times?

So? He must have been as confused as you seem to be... Nazi = Totalitarian = Leftist. It's not complicated.

Nazi = Totalitarian = Authoritarian (wannabe) = traditional rule (chief, monarchy) = the ultimate in Rightism = Conservatism.

Hitler literally wanted to resurrect a glorified mytholigized past based on the ancient history of.... the Aryani of Iran and India! Anything more conservative would literally be a return to the Stone Age, which is the state that Europe was before the Aryan invasion,,,

Socialism is the opposite, a fanciful futuristic utopia where ordinary citizen take control of the economy and goverment, by consensus. An impossible fantasy, yes, but that is what its goal is.

I'm sorry, how is the Stone Age in any way "conservative"? Careless thinkers have a bad habit: they take for granted that anything they don't like comes from the other side of the ideological fence: "I'm a liberal and I disapprove of Nazism. Therefore, Nazis must be right-wing! It's obvious!"

If you really need that explained to you, you still ain't gonna get it.
But for real, you're really that unfamiliar with Hitler's regressive reactionary brand of - wait for it - uber conservatism?

And he leaps back into the insta knee-jerk sloganeering!

Hey, I get it, I don't like 'em either. But the solution is simple, neo-Nazis don't like getting the Nazi label slapped on them? Cool, nobody else likes it either. So maybe they should refrain from neo-Naziing and find something else to pop a stiffy to,,,
The whole lot of the cretinous Brownshirt wannabes would have gotten ye olde Night of the Long Knives excision treatment by their not-quite-blond runt of an idol if he was still around anyways...

What do you mean so???? Who's more qualified to know Hitler's political positioning, you or actual real-life Hitler himself?

Read the rest of it: "He must have been as confused as you seem to be..." It's hardly my fault that people like you and Hitler don't know your Left from your Right!

Everyone's confused except you?

Do you know what Okham's Razor is? It could just be that your definition of leftism is bullshit.

The Left has been falsely calling Nazis right-wing for generations. Liberals and socialists just can't cope with the idea the Nazis are on their side of the fence. If I were to ask you what it is about Nazism that you think is Right, your answer would probably be: "it's what I was taught in school and I have never questioned it." So tell me: why do you think that Nazis are right-wing? Is it because you were taught BS in school and you've never questioned it?

They WERE right wing, they themselves said so at the time!!!!

Yeah right wing socialist SMH LOL

Look: ideology is an argument between Statists on the Left and Individualists on the Right about the proper relationship between the Individual and the State. Leftists want to misuse the powers of the State to impose their thinking on those who disagree with them. People on the Right want to sharply define the limits of State authority to prevent Leftists from misusing it. Nazis are undeniably Statist... that's what puts them on the Left. And I'd still like to hear why you think Nazis are right-wing.

And yet, when you set it up that way, you have to go around saying that everyone but you was confused EVEN WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.

Isn't it much more likely that you just set it up wrong?

If I'm "setting it up wrong," you should have no difficulty explaining to me what ideology is really all about, and why Nazis are right-wing (still waiting patiently).

Glad you finally asked!

Let's go back to the very first time in history that the phrase "left wing" and "right wing" were used in politics: the French Revolution. The hot button issue at the time was what should be done with the King in post-revolution France.

To organize themselves, people who wanted the King to be deposed and the country to be a Republic were seated on the left of the assembly. People who wanted the King to keep his position albeit with varying degrees of reforms were seated on the right. That is THE origins of leftism and rightism.

Now, are you telling me that the people who were supporting the monarchy - a monarchy that had JUST BEEN STORMED BY THE PEOPLE FOR MISUSING THE POWERS OF THE STATE - were the anti-authoritarians? Is that what you're telling me? The people who believed in the divine right of a king were the SMALL government ideologues?

Take your time, and you are allowed to say that you made a mistake if you wish.
