More at the link but basically it is "NS Gemeinschaft Kraft durch Freude (German for 'Strength Through Joy'; KdF) was a German NSDAP-operated leisure organization in Nazi Germany.[1] It was part of the German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront), the national labour organization at that time."

They are even trying to hide it any more.

Projection.

Suspect you are giving them too much credit and they did not mean any such allusion and were not even aware of that old Nazi organization.

Also, I don't think "Joy" is a concept that either the Nazi party nor the Democrat party should be allowed to commandeer. It rings hollow when they use it in both cases.

At least the German KdF played a large part in bringing us the Volkswagen.

On FR several weeks ago when the “Joy” was first touted by Walz.

Thanks for reposting it— the Nazi vacay plan for all the “workers” of the LEFTIST National Socialist German Workers Party.

Most do not know but at the start of the NSDAP- members were given a badge/pin which had TWO logos on it of equal size— The Hammer & Sycle of the Communists, and the Swastika (stolen from archeology of ancient India) of the real Party!

Why- because the number one recruiting target of the NSDAP Nazi Party was the farther LEFT way far- Communist Party which outnumbered the Nazis by millions. Some of the worst actors in the Nazi horrors were converted to Nazis from formerly being Communists. Example: People’s Court Judge/Prosecutor Roland Freisler who was a Bolshevik POW Camp Commisar and came to the Nazi Party on the extreme LEFT faction.

The Socialist/Communist Spectrum is all Leftist. And the Democrat Party is controlled by these elements, and are totalitarians.

One of the first episodes of The World At War, covered Strength Through Joy. Think it was called Prelude to War.

The ungodly Nazi, now the ungodly Democrat Left, perversion of scripture which says,

in [the Lord's] presence is fulness of joy (Psalm 16:11)

and

the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

Perverted application of scripture (see post #14).

The devil always works with half truth to trip up the gullible and unwary.

Time to know your Bible.

>> They are even trying to hide it any more.

Also consider that they’re idiots — scumbags, but still idiots

If she wins, “Strength Through Joy” will become “Work Makes Free”.

KdF-Wagen, rebranded Volkswagen, where Volk (German "V" is pronounced like an English "F") meant Deutsche Volk, Volk meaning "people, race, ethnicity" The "s" at the end is a possessive, like in English: Peoples' Car. The "l" in Volk is not silent.
