Nazi for short.

I would add Islamo-ism to the above group.
Did the Nazi’s take control of the means of production within the state? Case closed.
I think you're wrong. Many of those Jews who vote with the Dims reject almost everything about Judaism. Some of those many may attend synagogue two or three times a year out of a sense of guilt, but the rest of the year they certainly live their lives as if Judaism is irrelevant. Coincidentally I began a thread yesterday which illustrates this.
Related to your thread, also, is Jonah Goldberg's new book Liberal Fascism. Check out the reviews and comments.
ML/NJ
Yes, they were.

Step away from the exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The amount of upper case letters you use does not reverse the unpleasant truth. By EVERY definition, the Nazis were socialists and so is the current German government.
Is this really so difficult to understand? Lenin and Stalin preached class-based socialism, and directed their followers to harass, then imprison, then massacre the sub-human “enemies of the people” — kulaks/the bourgeoisie — for the greater glory of their god, The State; Hitler preached race-based socialism and directed his followers to harass, then imprison, then massacre the sub-human “enemies of the people” — Jews, Slavs, etc. — for the greater glory of his god, The State. Were there differences between the two systems? Of course, but from the perspective of anyone who believes in personal, economic or political liberty, constitutional government, the rule of law, etc., they were unquestionably two sides of the same coin.
See, this is where you go off track. The left may use those items in their rhetoric, but what the left stands for is:
Government control over every aspect of life.
That, my friend, is socialism. And that is exactly what the NAZI's were after. Control, not freedom.
Please read my post, before posting!
“State Peace and Development Council”. That’s the name of the ruling party of Burma. For short: peace and development! Utter BS! Burma is a communist military dictatorship! Don’t judge a party BY IT’S PROPAGANDA NAME!
(2) An essential component of Anglo-American rightism is a limited government with strongly defined individual rights.
(3) It is hardly a denial of history to point out that the National Socialist system was diametrically opposed to the Anglo-American system.
The fundamental building block of American civil society is the church, not race or party.
The fundamental principles of American government are representative bodies and federalism, not a system under which the there is no representative body and all laws derive from a Fuehrer.
The fundamental principles of American law are individual rights, not subordination of individual rights to the state by means of secret police apparati.
(4) In all these particulars, the National Socialist model resembles the Soviet model: one leader appointed for life, all laws deriving from the will of the leader or the central committee of his party, the outlawing of any party besides the leader's party, the abolition of representative bodies, the elimination of federal powers, the abolition of guarantees of individual rights, the government cooptation or persecution of the church as an organizing principle of civil society.
The Soviet model is, in the Anglo-American view, the quintessential leftist model. The National Socialist model resembles it closesly in nearly every particular - therefore by Anglo-American standards, National Socialism was a "left wing" phenomenon, or a "socialist" phenomenon, or a "jacobin" phenomenon or whatever term one wants to use to designate the left.
Nazis believed in socialism for all good Germans and death for the rest of us—this particular strain of socialism is called ‘national socialism’ and is surely different from ‘international socialism’ which advocates socialism for all good sheeple and death for the rest of us.
Do Socialists deem other races [Mexicans, Afro-Americans] SUBHUMAN?
Case closed.
The Soviet Union “diverse”? I guess they had a bunch of gay composers and ballet dancers, but their blacks must have been really light-skinned.
The Nazis didn’t believe in Socialism at all. That was purely propaganda for the masses. All Nazi Party members who took the “Socialist” part too serious in “National Socialist German Workers Party” were KILLED!
Like Woodrow Wilson.
Who was a socialist.
Of course, unlike Hitler, Wilson didn't call himself one. He called himself a "Democrat".
The Soviet Union was in fact the most diverse nation by ethnicity. Look it up in the internet, doesn’t matter where. Russia today is still one of the most diverse nations of the world.
That dude is going postal.
