That’s funny but it’s a talk radio meme tossed around here that’s full of holes that Nazis and Communists are the same

They were not.

But wardaddy they called it national socialism you know

Yes and they also called East Germany the German Democratic Republic

The old circular political paradigms are better

Totalitarian at midnight and Authoritarian at your six

Germany had a lot of free enterprise and a lot of crony capitalism in armaments in particular and they emphasized nationalism over about anything

Russia only talked nationalism when fighting fascists ...and had essentially a state economy only

Both were police states and hegemonic and that’s where the similarity stops

Other major differences too

This meme to deflect that far right are Nazi like is the same nonsensical logic used by those who claim the democrat party has been evil since it’s inception and the GOPe is our golden rah rah and demonizing. Folks like Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren and so on

Politics is not so simple

This is Glenn Beck Mark Levin history lessons 101

And it’s failed us miserably

We lost Trump due to the GOPe more than to our foes the modern day Democrats

I’m not of the mind to excuse the GOPe anymore

With respect
