@RodKahx Roddy!! It’s an historical fact that the Nazis were socialists. It even says it in the name. Just because you don’t understand the German language doesn’t mean it isn’t so. NAZI stands for: National Socialist German Workers Party.
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx Except that it's not a historical fact that the Nazis were socialists...
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx "And whatever premises the party may have started with, by 1930 Hitler's party was "socialist" only to take advantage of the emotional value of the word, and a "workers' party" in order to lure the most energetic social force." - Joachim Fest, German historian
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx The Nazis appropriated the term socialist to appeal to the working class. Hitler hijacked the Nazi party from the Strauss brothers, two German politicians who were racist but were socialist. He kept the name. britannica.com/story/were-the…
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx Some people lie about who they are, to try to fool gullible people about their true intentions. Calling yourself a “socialist” doesn’t make you a socialist. Much like the CPC calling themselves “conservatives”. Forget what people call themselves - watch what they do.
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx The Nazis were (and are) fascists. Which is a far right ideology. This is true of neo-Nazis throughout Europe and the US today.
@SJohn73794113 @RodKahx East Germany was called DDR which stood for Deutsche Demokratische Republik--Democratic Republic of Germany. I guess that "proves" that East Germany was democratic.
