Yea, but were the Nazi's liberal?

You don't "sound" like a FReeper...

Nazis are National Socialists... that's a definition. They are bedfellows of liberal socialists and communists.

I asked a question regarding the Nazi's, I did not make a statement. The question I asked, if one considers the full range of facts, has answers and understanding that goes beyond simple explanations, but rather, there are nuanced understandings where one would not automatically conclude that by definition alone they were indeed liberal (socialist is a term of art) but rather a more complicated description would apply.

If one remembers, many conservatives have been referred to as "Nazi's", for their conservative views, and during the '60s and early '70s, Nazi's were often regarded as a "right wing" political movement. In fact, if one takes the time to research the history leading up to the Nazi movement, the movement began as a alternative to the rise of communism in the east and the permissive and liberal government within Germany.
