2. Somebody from Texas posted a bumper sticker along the lines of
"Socialism is Great -- just ask the Russians"

I am so embarrassed for my fellow Americans.

The Great Irony

32. That's interesting -- and sad. Can you imagine how bad it must be for them
to long for those "good ol' days"?

3. Of course he wasn't
Repugs think that becuase the word Socialist is in the NAZI letters he was a communist. HE was the opposite.

4. I've been fighting this for years...
They think because it is called "National Socialism" it must be socialist. They also think that National Socialism is a left side ideology.

You will never convince them.

I ask them if they think the "Peoples Republic of China" is run by Republicans.

15. Or if they think the Peoples' Republic of China is run by communists for that matter
Technically China is still "communist" in name but it is not communist by any stretch of the imagination. Likewise National Socialism had socialism in the name but it was not socialist by any stretch of the imagination.

28. In order to justify their world view...
The right redefined the entire right left definition of politics.

They place no government at the right and totalitatiran governments at the left. Naturally, they are on the side of God near no government. That is why they say facisim is a left side ideology. They just changed the definition of what we are discussin.

I've had this conversation. I just tell people who pull this to take a Political Science Course.

10. To understand the truth...

one would need to understand how Prescott Bush and some of his associates helped sponsor Hitler's rise to power in order to head off Germany's trend toward socialism and instead bring about fascism. This would make the right-wing's heads explode.

They can't think or listen critically. If they could, their numbers would dwindle and most would join us here.

13. Indeed
Part of that is fueled by a fuck named Ludwig von Mises, IIRC he started that nonsense.

11. Hitler was a fascist dictator
who lured the Germans in with false promises. Hitler was not Socialist, because he lied to the Germans about his intentions; Like what Boosh and Dick did to us in regards to the middle east.

14. Good point...

Hitler had promised that fascism was a third way alternative to the authoritarian extremes of communism and capitalism. What he later realized was that it was too difficult for fascism to function well in a real democracy. After WWII, the former followers of fascism began associating themselves with anti-communism, but through the actions of the fascistic "stay behind" programs and the ruthless anti-communist operations in Latin America, it remains evident that this may really only have been code for anti-democracy.

17. Hitler was
a registered republican, a close personal friend of Ronald Reagan, and Glenn Becks adopted father. He was also a vegetarian (really).

18. They heard a scrap of fact somewhere in history from someone
who took it out of context and didn't understand or research it either. Basically stupid people telling morans what is true or not.

20. That is a total lie, sad you believe such RWing garbage.
I would try to explain a lot to you, but you work against your own best interest so I can only conclude you are a gullible moran. Why don't you go sit at the kids table and read some of the great posters here on DU. Might learn something. I know it hurts, but it gets easier over time.

25. Kinda hard to do when notsee stands for "National Socialist German Workers' Party"
Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 08:00 AM by TxRider
That's all they are going on, the name of the party.

That's about as deep as they get ya know, they know nothing about the man himself.

26. Hitler was a conservative.
And, like most of the powerful and wealthy, he got a lot of help along the way from his friends.

Know your BFEE: Merchants of Death

War. It's just business.

30. Was Charles Lindbergh a Socialist since he supported Hitler in the early days?
give them this to read-

http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-hitler.htm

Or they could read a book titled The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich....which would dispell the myth that Hitler was a Socialist.

31. The facts speak for themselves. The victims demand the truth.
Among the earliest victims of discrimination and persecution in Nazi Germany were political opponents -- primarily Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, and trade union leaders. The Nazis also persecuted authors and artists whose works they considered subversive or who were Jewish. In 1933-1934, the German central government and various local governments as well as local battalions of the Nazi SA (Sturmabteilungen; Assault Detachments) and SS (Schutzstaffel; Protection Squads) established concentration camps throughout Germany to detain political prisoners. The SS, which centralized and took control of the concentration camp system in 1934, had established its first concentration camp, Dachau, in March 1933.
