“Hitler railed against Marxists constantly. The Nazi party fought them in the streets, and actions are louder than words.”

Followers of Marxism often kill each other. That does change the fact that Nazi's had a completely Marxist agricultural system in their country and imposed it on countries they invaded. The exception was industry, where private ownership was permitted so long as the owners were loyal to the party. They had a socialized health care system, which they used to justify weeding out the infirm due to the cost of care to them. The ideal of the blond haired blue eyed ideal German was straight out of the Marxist “über man” that would emerge as a result of the Marxist system. They had government control of citizen behavior and speech.

THOSE actions speak louder than words. Fascism is a strain of Marxism, as are Socialism and Communism.

You really don’t get the finer points of what you are discussing.

Socialism is NOT a “strain of Marxism”, it is the other way around. Socialism pre-dated Marx’s ideas, and Marxism is just one strain of Socialism. There was no Marxist idea of the “uber man”, that was a notion the Nazis borrowed from Friedrich Nietzche, not Marx.

Seriously, you are not well versed in these subjects, just stop embarrassing yourself.
