Because they oppose the private ownership of the means of production, regardless of the level of control exerted by the State?
They’ve also gotten a lot of propaganda claiming THE NAZIS WERE RIGHT WING! Which is garbage.
Because they referred to themselves as “Socialists.” Folk would wonder why one group of socialists was going after another.
Of course, if they used the word “Nazi”, it would be an admission that indeed they are fellow socialists.
True. Both nazis and communists were the bastard sons by different philosophical mothers, of the German Philosopher Hegel.
“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East. In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer. Page 501 in my copy,
The offspring of the old SDS, the Weathermen, estimated that they would have to “liquidate” between 15 million and 25 million people in the US when they take power.
And that was around 1970.
Not sure how that's hard to miss.
I like Joseph Goebbels statement in discussing National Socialism when he said national is an adjective.
We know it was the socialists who started long before the Nazis the hatred of the free lancing Gypsy and free lancing jew (denounced by accademic fearing jews at the boot of the state)
They used to have great cartoons about it. Bring them back.
Can’t get much more socialist than a government-sponsored car called the “Folks Wagon (People’s Car)”..
I told this to a co-worker many years ago and he got all upset saying it was not true. Next I mention Soros and he thought the guy was a good guy.
He later moved to San Francisco. I wonder what he thinks of the city now. He said he was going to use the bus to get to his new job so he gets to be on the bus with the homeless and step around the waste and the tents on the sidewalk. He had to have 2 roommates to afford the rent with at his new place.
Oh, didn’t know that! Won’t do that anymore, sorry
Straight from the horse’s mouth:
We are socialists because we see the social question as a matter of necessity and justice for the very existence of a state for our people, not a question of cheap pity or insulting sentimentality. The worker has a claim to a living standard that corresponds to what he produces. We have no intention of begging for that right… Since the political powers of the day are neither willing nor able to create such a situation, socialism must be fought for. It is a fighting slogan both inwardly and outwardly. It is aimed domestically at the bourgeois parties and Marxism at the same time, because both are sworn enemies of the coming workers’ state. It is directed abroad at all powers that threaten our national existence and thereby the possibility of the coming socialist national state.
-Josef Goebbels
The Nazis disavowed “Marxism”, not Socialism. Although really it’s a distinction without a difference.
Please don’t let me gentle criticism stop you from posting. That was a good article - keep them coming!
