The Nazis weren’t leftist socialists as MAGA claims. Hitler used the term “socialist” to appeal to the lower classes. Even an encyclopedia will tell you that.

Reading Is Fundamental

Kay-El's avatar

Lol. Comprehension doesn’t hurt either.

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

Well they certainly weren't leftist. However, we need to be careful with our facts.

Nazi is short for "Nationalsozialismus", AKA National Socialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism.

That's >not< to say MAGAnuts are right about anything. It's also not to say MAGAnuts are anything other than Trumpkopf's incarnation of the Nazi's - they are exactly that.

Kay-El's avatar

Right, but National Socialism was just a moniker. It was not true socialism.

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

It was a promise, not a policy. It was a lie, and they swallowed it, just like MAGAnuts swallow Chump's Kool-Aid. Just like they swallowed St. Reagan's.

Kay-El's avatar

Exactly

Jody Mendes's avatar

I’m really surprised more Jewish people don’t make the comparison. I know there are many different types of Jews (Secular, Messianic, etc.) but the similarities between our current regime and Hitler’s are pretty clear.

Kay-El's avatar

There are a number of Jewish folk who think Trump is good for Israel (as if).

Cyd Peace's avatar

Or even comparable in any way!

no it isnt, and youre a bad person. there is no validity to the horseshoe theory because the extreme lefts goal is to liberate all people from oppression and the extreme rights goal is to exterminate anyone they don't like.

noah ☭(he/him)'s avatar

and speaking of uncomfortable things to confront you should probably take your own bad advice and stop being a narcissistic POS because your entire worldview is FUCKED. you condone genocide. no one should be listening to you about anything. you're a disgusting excuse of a person.

I choose to honor the victims of the Holocaust by sticking up for the current victims of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Who are being smashed to pieces by a bully many times it's size.

To have Empathy and to warn others as best as my feeble abilities can of the dangers of Trumpism.

I supported Bernie Sanders. I still do!

His version of Democratic Socialism like practiced in Western Europe works.

It could ease our burden of living in a dying empire....to sustainable way of life.

Check out Professor Wolff's talk on Hitler.

He said to look at Germany from 1871 to 1933.

And pay attention to class and economics.

Bernice Cohen's avatar

Nope. Not true at all. Fake news. The party was founded in 1919 (a full 14 years BEFORE Hitler took power) and run by Anton Drexler and was called Die Nationalsozialistischer Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The National Socialist German Workers party)…a LEFT wing Socialist party. National socialism was already spreading throughout Germany in the 1920s as a junior contender to Italy’s fascist regime. National Socialism placed racist ideology and antisemitism front and centre of their politics… which is exactly what’s happening in the United States now through DEI and the resurgence of antisemitism.

Kay-El's avatar

Drexler did indeed found that anti-Semitic predecessor to the Nazi Party and mentored Adolf Hitler later, so not fake news.

Geoplanet Jane's avatar

Yes, the Party already existed when Hitler joined it. The group was very small at that point. They recognized Hitler’s gift of inflammatory oratory and made him their leader. That’s how he became their leader. The word sozialistisches was put in to the party’s name to make it attractive to unwary workers and neer do wells in beleaguered

post world war 1 Germany.

Bernice Cohen's avatar

What part is NOT fake news? Ich bin selbst eine Deutche Frau and kenne die Vergangenheit besser als die meisten Amerikanische Leute. Also ich bitte dich…welcher Teil ist NICHT eine fescherem?

Lol, anyone who uses DEI as a cudgel is not anyone concerned with facts. Likewise anyone following Libs of TikTok. You’re just another sad troll.

I bet you take a average Jewish person in the middle east and tested DNA...

You'd find much European. 2,000 years is a long time.

Some never left Palestine of course, and you'll find Arab in them.

All simetic peoples are descendants of Canaanites and some others along the Lavant.

Viele Deutsche kennen ihre eigene Geschichte nicht. Das ist der Grund warum sie Faschisten wählen. Ich habe noch nie in Deutschland jemanden gesprochen, der AFD wählt UND die Grschichte seines Landes kennt. Bisher waren das durchweg sehr ungebildete und persönlich sehr frustrierte Menschen, die nicht in der Lage sind, ihre Probleme zu lösen. Komplett hilflos und handlungsfähig!

Mit Politik hatten ihre Pribleme wirklich nichts zu tun. Es war oft purer Neid und Hass auf Dolche Leute die mehr haben als die selbst. Genaugenommen voll die Looser, die in ihrem Leben alles falsch machen.

Good thing you qualifyed most.

Cecilia 's avatar

Ur so wrong Hitler and Trump are thoughts similarly, they wants power and segregation only white supremacists,even on Google is easy to looking but the history is different how much to know about it.

Kay-El's avatar

That’s not what I said. You might try to reread what I did say.

Tom Reitano's avatar

That's right! Half of Germany were on the Left.

Even the mustache was a prop to appeal to the working class.

Eventually turned on Stalin. But you can have murderers on Right or Left.

Look at the Slavery times of the USA. 🤔

All those flags do not represent Patriotism. It’s a sign of insecurity and fear of being found out. Wrapping one’s self in the Flag is the last refuge of a scoundrel. There are ways to respect the flag. Trump just doesn’t know or care.

Read how Carl Schmitt wanted to dived up the world into a few homogeneous tracts

Schmitt was “crown jurist” of Nazi Germany and Trump and Putin seen to be following his ideas.

Ingrid Walker's avatar

To really understand what's happening in America, read Rachel Maddow's book "Prequel". The whole fascist movement in the US started in the 1930's after Hitler came to power. Fortunately, it did not succeed in the US then. Since then, the fascist movement has gained traction until their perfect Führer, Hitler 2.0, Donald J. Trump, came down the gilded escalator in 2015. This movement has morphed into a juggernaut, peopled by right-wing extremists in government, federal and state, and now a fascist Supreme Court. I believe only Biden can stop this malignancy from killing America. Vote blue, America. The free world is counting on you!

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

Very true. We can also look at it as the old Confederate infection that's been festering just beneath the surface since 1864 bursting back out into the open.

Sel Gossett's avatar

There is a book by historian Heather Cox Richardson named ‘How the South Won the Civil War’ and she explains the myth of the lost cause and how it infected not just the South, but the nation as a whole. Industrialists used racism to attack unions and immigrants. This virus was baked into our Constitution. Fascism is just the face of it now.

Jennifer DiBenedetto's avatar

This is true . If you read Robert E Lee’s memoirs and manifesto.. it is chilling

He was a confederate white supremacist ..the one who described that the “negro was not a full human.. only 3/5ths human”

It is too long to write here .. but he was not looked upon favorably by the forefathers.. who all had slaves but Robert E Lee’s ideology was founded in White Nationalist extremism..

After his tenure with the original Republic Union .. he went on to teach at an all white private school for boys in the south.

I don’t have any proof or evidence but based on reading his memoirs.. am convinced that he may have been one of/or actual founder of the KKK..

While we didn’t have internet during that period..

I always and continue to wonder if Adolph Hitler while imprisoned for 18 months .. (arrested for his grandstanding in favor of his early ideas.. including socialist propaganda and developing much support) was frowned upon by the Chancellor ..

subsequently jailed..

it was during his incarceration that he began to formulate his ideas for writing and completing “Mein Kamph”..

His writings were almost parallel to Lee’s ideas but it was the “Jews” that he felt were inferior..describing them as vermin..

The similarities of these two men though born in different times and different countries mirror such hatred towards a particular group of people..

And here we are AGAIN…‼️🤦‍♀️👎🤨

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

I believe you're right about Lee being one of the founders of the KKK and the so called "lost cause" mentality. As you point out, he was one of the original White Christian Nationalists, AKA "Christofascists", and had a lot in common with Hitler. A good number of today's Christofascists have white hoods in their dressers. Confederate battle flags, and quite a few have swastika tattoos, as well as collections of both Klan and Nazi "memorabilia".

Ironically, I read in the news a while back that a distant great great great, etc., grand nephew of Lee is a minister, in N. Carolina if I'm not mistaken, who enthusiastically supported the removal of his ancestor's statue. He's a true Christian who believes in decency.

Tom Reitano's avatar

Yes, that was great! I like her.

Thing is, it was the second time for FDR.

The Business Plot was what it was called. And our country was saved my a man named Maj Gen Smedley Butler

They wasted to install him as military leader.

He has been involved in the Bonus march in 1931 and helped the situation while Gen McCarther ran through the vets on "the last Caverlry charge " US Military ever made!

It's stuff that's all available.

Butler died in 1940. But he left a tape to the American people telling them what happened in a way only Smedley could.

He warned us and told us how to keep our freedoms. It should be required learning this in High school.

The sheer ignorance and near psychotic mentalities they expressed were unbelievably over the top. They were just vomiting up all that Kool-Aid they guzzled with their Schlitz.

Donald Lipkis's avatar

What many American Jews and many Israelis don’t seem to understand or recognize is that Christian nationalism and the mimicking of Nazi propaganda by Trump and the MAGA movement is never good for Jews and won’t be good for Israel either. Trump’s support for Jews and Israel has never been on a gut level or emotional level. It, like everything else he has done has been on a transactional level. He will turn against them both on a dime if circumstances dictate. Remember how he chastised Netanyahu (who I also despise)for the audacity of congratulating Biden on his victory? I am sad to see all the support Trump is receiving in the Jewish community without considering the potential danger of his victory. I say this as a Jew and a strong supporter of Israel.

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

I'd say most of us don't support The Orange Scourge. I'd also say most of us don't support Bibi. Witness those immense crowds in Israel protesting him. Bibi and Trumpkopf are two of a kind.

Absolutely spot on. The Jews who swallow his line, in spite of all else, will not see pass one issue. Blind.

To support rabid xenophobes’ rule over your nation hoping that they’ll be good for Jews is like flooding the mine with poison gas and hoping that it will be good for the canary.

I think any Religion's Fundamentalists are a danger to Democracy and other people. That includes Orthodox Jews, Evangelical Christians, Right Wing Catholics, Fundamentalist Moslems, and Radical Hindus. The belief that only they are right and therefore special isn't conducive to the compromise and group harmony of Democracy. It's more like the Leader hands down the word from above.

Winston Smith London Oceania's avatar

I totally agree with this. IMHO, religion is little more than organized superstition - usurped by those who seek power, and the most extreme versions of it is little more than a form of insanity.

What is happening in Gaza is an extermination campaign of an entire civilian population, a step above genocide. 

Wake up people.

Impunity breads contempt.The American people did not turn out in the Millions to Stop our support in arms shipments that contributes to a peope being literally exterminated, so

it should be no surprise that that contempt for human life and impunity is also turned towards those who allowed the impunity. Us, the American people.

STOP The Insanity's avatar

Something like 70 days before inauguration then the bullshit starts the first time that Trump breaks the constitution takes away your civil rights. Are you going to know it? Are you gonna see it or you gonna see it? We cannot so you you can make it so worthless and does nothing, let him do what he’s gonna do as far as making things better. Let’s see what his better looks like. You know what his better looks like. It does not look good. Keep an eye out for it and let him know that you see it.

STOP The Insanity's avatar

It’s hard to stop one after another end your mind because you can really see it. It’s not make-believe. It’s really real. Trump is Hitler. He is a fascist. What did you do?

Sure looks very familiar is a good reason. It’s familiar because he’s been reading his books or at least having them read to him. He would keep them next to his nightstand and read a couple of lines and speeches. Those speeches that he gave his followers the promises and lies he gave to his followers, they didn’t know then but they know now and what can they do about it? It’s a bit too late. They’re going to come and then they’re going to come for you.

Janet  Woodworth's avatar

Hitler's Gleichschaltung wasn't just a policy—it was a @#$%& masterclass in how to dismantle democracy while maintaining a veneer of legitimacy. After the Reichstag fire in February 1933, Hitler convinced President Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Fire Decree, suspending civil liberties and allowing the arrest of political opponents without specific charges. Within weeks, his Enabling Act effectively ended parliamentary democracy by giving him the power to enact laws without Reichstag approval.

By April 1933—just 53 days after becoming Chancellor—Hitler had purged the civil service of Jews and political opponents, replacing them with Nazi loyalists. This wasn't random; it was systematic elimination of independent governance.
