I see what you did there.
However? What the heck.
No.
The National SOCIALISTS were.....Socialists. They implemented socialist economic policies.
No way. You mean taking away all the incentives to get married and have children has resulted in their being less children. Guess these brilliant sociopaths then decided to bomb Libya and Syria, so they could kidnap more revenue streams. Another brilliant plan fails as these Muslim revenue streams decide to rape their few children and behead their few soldiers. Oh well. Guess the world now knows what not to do.
