Why do people here keep throwing out that red herring? They may have had “socialist” in their title, but they were the anti Marxists extraordinaire. I don’t get it.

The Nazis hated the Communists because they were competing for the same vapid space in the mind of the electorate.

But when you look at them all from a distance, we are simply talking about Progressives, who believe that the past is irrelevant, that human nature is perfectible, and we are entering a new era where our Great New Vision will change everything and cause eternal happiness right here on earth. We believe in Nature and Science, and hold that religion and morality are for losers. Ownership of all property is subject to the will of the state, all human rights depend on the state's discretion. No one is allowed to publish or broadcast anything the state disapproves of. Boys and girls should be free to fool around together free of their parent's oversight--so that they acquire loyalty to sexual license and the state, rather than to their parents. And of course the state, rather than the parents, is the ultimate authority over the children. And so on.

Who am I referring to? There's no way to tell, since the Nazis, the Communists, the French Revolutionaries of 1789, and the Democratic Party of today all espouse these same things. Progressivism is both a delusion and a bloodthirsty opportunity. As Shaw put it, "I dream things that never were, and ask, 'Why not?' " It's from his play Back to Methuselah, and the speaker is the Serpent in the Garden.
