[Cicero]

Socialists against Socialists.

It's very reminiscent of Europe in the 1930s, when unemployment was high, political discontent was rampant, and bands of Communists fought bands of Fascists and Nazis in the streets.

It's a left-wing myth that the Fascists and the Nazis (National Socialists) were conservatives. Both groups were mutations of Marxist Socialism. Mussolini began his career as a Communist. Both groups were socialist gangs competing for power. Nobody hates a totalitarian like another totalitarian, eager to seize the levers of power.

Nah, you've got it all wrong: It is really all the fault of the USA. We are the cause of all the problems in the EU. Yep, every little one of them.

O! shades of Lenin. O!shades of Robespierre.

You are absolutely correct, of course. There are several spectra along which one can be on the right or on the left: ecoomic, political, cultural. The Nazis differed from the aocialist of the Marxist vatiety in that they were culturally conservative --- and it is this position that allows the Left to portray them as being on the right; it is this aspect that allows them to hide the fact that in all other respects the Nazis were on the left.
