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!

That's not quite true.

The official name of the Nazi party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National-Socialist German Worker's Party). The term "Nazi" was not exactly an acronym, any more than "Wobbly" was an acronym for Industrial Workers of the World, or IWW. It was more of a "popularization" of an otherwise unwieldy name.
