    Just because the Nazis called themselves the “national socialist party” did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

    North Korea calls itself “The People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea” even though is not the People’s, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It’s a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it’s something it isn’t.

    Lol, Hitler literally got his start telling his gangs to go beat the shit out of communists.

    Revisionist history much?

    Hitler’s mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf. During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in “fighting Marxism”.[138]Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf:

    In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.[139]

      It’s because the idiots ran up on stage, built a wall out of their own shit, and started screaming into the mic. And they get away with it because they own the venue and locked the doors, all the while thinking people love them for it.

    Wasn’t one of the first groups that Hitler went after when he gained power were the communists? I’m pretty sure I remember that communists were sent to concentration camps along with Jews, disabled people, and LGBT.

    “First they came for the communists, but I did not speak out because I was not a communist”

    Hitler was the literal opposite of a communist. He came for the communists before he came for the Jews.

      Thank you, this was the information I was looking for. I knew that the Nazi party was named as such but didn’t understand the implications.

      Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality; socialism without redistribution is a tyrant trying to trick you

    So that whole schism between Russia and Germany had nothing to do with ideology. Now I understand. /s

      Nothing to do at all! Since Hitler was a communist and the USSR were nazis. Which are bad, of course. Unlike my good AfD friend who is not a nazi of course, but is a nazi, in a good way I mean. But not a communist nazi. A nazi-nazi, but again we can’t say that but it’s good.

      Anyway words have no meaning whatsoever.

          Yes you get it, my good Sturmstaffel friend (as a joke of course, not the evil kind, the funny kind that killed Jews, but for the lols).

      Hey! Whoa! That’s NOT true!

      I lost my whole mind, and I STILL agree! It’s so obvious, even an idiot like me can see.

      They don’t care what we think.

      They’re interested in catering to people who are stupid or impressionable. There are more of them and they are more violent.
