PS. Wikipedia as a primary source? Not that this particular paragraph is very flattering:
Under the leadership of Heinz-Christian Strache, the FPÖ has focused on describing itself as a Heimat and social party. This means that the party promotes its role as a guarantor of Austrian identity and social welfare. Economically, it supports regulated liberalism with privatization and low taxes, combined with support for the welfare state; however, it maintains that it will be impossible to uphold the welfare state if current immigration policies are continued. …
That description puts them squarely in the national socialist camp.

I’m sorry, but this new post of yours is something I would only expect from a far-left, Marxist leaning Social Justice Warrior (and only then because they love to exaggerate and make up attacks against the right). There is nothing in what you quoted that even hints slightly at National Socialism, much less proves it. This is exactly the same as Donald Trump’s “America First” message. Do you consider Trump a Nazi too, like the lefties love to claim? It is not Nazism to want to place the interests of your country and citizens first. All elected officials *should* do that. They are elected to look after the social (and all other types of) welfare of their people.

Perhaps you simply do not understand that “Heimat” just means “homeland” in German, you know like our “Department of Homeland Security.” Do you consider that to be our Nazi cabinet department? Or is it preserving “national identity” that you hate so much? Why would anyone be against every country preserving it’s national identity (unless you simply just hate Austria, and want to see it specifically made unrecognizable by the massive numbers of “new Austrians” from the Middle East). Preserving the country’s identity and all that entails is one of the things I care the most about in regard to the U.S.
