You asked where I had been "all weekend" on a Sunday morning

No Walt. I asked why you had abandoned, or fled, the conversation on nazi germany.

I've said my piece on Nazi Germany. Hitler didn't care squat for the left.

History shows otherwise and in fact he named an avowed leftist, who also happened to be one of his top loyalists, as his successor as Fuehrer.

Socialism and Nationalism are, by definition, opposites.

Show it, because the definitions do not.

Socialism is, by definition, a state in which the means of production are controlled by the people. Nationalism is, by definition, an appeal to the national strength, identity, and unity of a state.

Now. Show me why a state in which "the means of production are controlled by the people" is inhibited from existing under a situation where national strength pervades. You cannot do this. There is simply no contradiction you speak of.

On the other hand, I suppose you are no longer defending George Bush Sr.

I've already defended him adequitely from your bizarre America-hater attempts to blame him for 9/11, but, as with your erronious statements on Hitler, you have essentially abandoned the issue of Bush now that you've come under scrutiny.

In its purest form, Socialism seeks to unite workers worldwide. It is absolutely at odds with Nationalism.

Not in the last ten minutes. You fled the conversation.
