The left loves to call Nazis right wing. The true term is lefties, just not so left as the communists.
Oldest trick in the book. You commit a crime and leave evidence your political adversary group did it.
Nazi stands for the National German Socialist Worker’s Party, or thereabouts, right?
And one the Nazis played before on the same building, if I recall.
What is it with Nazis and Reichstag fires?
My dear citizens! We are living through a National Socialist revolution. We emphasize the term “socialist” because many speak only of a “national” revolution. Dubious, but also wrong. It was not only nationalism that led to the breakthrough. We are proud that German socialism also triumphed. […]And the mix of Arab Nationalism and Islamic/Arabic Socialism produced the Islamic version.
Those who do not want to recognize a German socialism do not have the right to call themselves national. Only he who emphasizes German socialism is truly national. He who refuses to speak of socialism, who believes in socialism only in the Marxist sense, or to whom the word “socialism” has an unpleasant ring, has not understood the deepest meaning of nationalism. […]
Marxist socialism was degraded to a concern only with pay or the stomach. The bourgeoisie degraded nationalism into barren hyper-patriotism. Both concepts, therefore, must be cleansed and shown to the people anew, in a crystal-clear form. The nationalism of our worldview arrived at the right moment. Our movement seized the concept of socialism from the cowardly Marxists, and tore the concept of nationalism from the cowardly bourgeois parties, throwing both into the melting pot of our worldview, and producing a clear synthesis: German national Socialism. That provided the foundation for the rebuilding of our people. Thus this revolution was National Socialist. …
Repeat from 80 years ago?
Yep. And that was something Joseph Stalin knew quite well. That's why the Soviets always referred to the nazis as "fascists", never as "nazis".
It worked for them the first time ... don’t think they’ll get the same result this time.
Any leftist can throw a bottle of gasoline and leave
a neo-Nazi flyer.
Even when that leftist happens to be neo-national-socialist.
Nazis and communists were bitter rival collectivist groups in Germany, with Nazis preferring to co-opt and control private means of production as well as religion, rather than banning them outright as communists are wont to do. This put them somewhat to the right of communists. Therefore, Nazis came to be known as “right wing,” when in actuality they’re anything but.
This old leftist rivalry also why leftists purport to hate “fascism” and “fascists” so, despite the fact that they themselves regard fascism as a means of attaining their own ends, a transitional state to their theoretical nirvana with no property and no god.
Mussolini was a communist before declaring himself “fascist”. Only difference between him and the commies was the state’s corporatization of business (predecessor of today’s “crony capitalism”, still leftist insofar that it is syndicalist) and pandering to religion; the state was still all-powerful.
Not to mention Stalin was in part a panderer to nationalist feelings, what with his “socialism in one country”.
Actually, that is true isn’t it. LOL
In reality, socialism = fascism. Always has been. Always will be.
I wish I could remember where I read it (maybe it was here on FR). Anyway, a mom asked her child what the world needed most. “Peace”, the child replied. “But what about the people who don’t want peace?”, the mom asked.
“I would hurt them,” the child replied.
Substitute “socialism” for “peace” in the above story, and you've got the socialist bottom line.
It seems like quite a tangle looking back, but socialist believers in nationalism and bona fide National Socialists got on far better with one another than socialist believers in nationalism and international socialists did. Hitler turning on Russia changed that dynamic radically, with internationalists winning out. Therefore, “nationalism” is now bad as is “fascism,” despite the fact that many if not most socialist advocate these, but only as a means to an end. Attempting to step into the communist perception makes so many irrational modern assumptions make sense, but that sense is unmistakably a communist one, all the very useful cries of “paranoid” and “Bircher,” etc. that come with calling anything or anyone communist in the modern era notwithstanding.
“The left loves to call Nazis right wing.”
Thank Bill Shirer, CBS Radio “Journalist”, and author of “The History of the Third Reich” for that.
He was a committed Socialist and an admirer of the Soviet Union. He portrayed the Nazi’s as “Right Wing” to differentiate them from the Soviets, along with much of the American Press.
Though he was reporting from Berlin, like most of the American Left, he was vehemently against U.S. Intervention in Europe until the day the Nazi’s attacked the Soviet Union, when he became an immediate hawk.
The infamous blow-up between Shirer and Edward Murrow was about the Truman Doctrine, and US opposition to the expansion of Soviet Bolshevism.
The Reichstag is the Keith Richards of parliamentary buildings. The Nazis burned it, the Soviets Swiss-cheesed it with artillery. It’s a wonder that it’s still standing.
