Quasi?

Ayn Rand said it best- the only difference between Communists and Nazis were the color of their uniforms.

The left media has been quite adept at portraying a bunch who called themselves the “Nationalist Socialist Workers Party”(the acronym in German is N.A.Z.I), who both advocated and implemented total government regulation and control over industry - as a bunch of right wingers!

The only difference between the Communists and Nazis that I could ever see is that one was a “Nationalist Socialist” and the other an “International Socialist”.

But Ayn Rand did say it better!

I know communists and Nazis were both socialist-minded.

What I have a hard time comprehending is the main divide between them...why exactly they were at each others' throats.

The 2 movements had different personalities...I can't quite get a grasp on it.

The NAZIS were obvious nationalists; the Stalinists were internationalists. Other than that, there wasn't much difference.
