This is SO funny. You apparently know as little of German history as you do Arab.

Say what you may, but rest assured it is you who appears the historically ignorant fool in this area.

Are you suggesting that Adolf Hitler, the "assasin of the workers",supported the world wide struggle of the workers?

In the philosophical movement behind his regime, yes. But you would have to understand what the Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterspartei meant to understand that. If you think the Nazi's were some sort of ultra-reaction to socialist philosophy, it is obvious that you do not understand.

That, after all, is the goal of socialism.

Actually, the goal of socialism is to place the means of production in the hands of the people. The Nazi's sought to achieve this through the concept of the German Volk by means of German nationalism. Nazi political theory holds that the German people are the state by means of a duty and composition of that state called the Volksgemeinschaft. To achieve this meant uniting the Germanic people and creating a nationalist Germanic state of domination. If the German Volk, made up of Germanic people, are the German state, and the German state controls what is - i.e. the means of production - then the people control the means of production. Socialism is then by definition realized, or so the Nazi theory goes.

What a hoot.

That you are, Walt. That you are.

The National-Socialist German Workers Party, the NSDAP.

So what?

Nationalism and socialism are opposites.
