Both anti-capitalism and anti-communist. If you honestly believe Nazism had anything to do with socialism just because the Nazis said so then you are an even bigger idiot than your thread suggests. Nazism was a form of fascism, it had nothing to do with any form of socialism, and although the Nazis used anti-capitalist rhetoric to appeal to the German base left they were trying to persuade to vote for them, the reality is that economic industry flourished in Germany under the Nazis in a way it had never done before in the country's history.

Nazism was not right or left by our idea of right and left. One person put clearer by comparing the spectrum as being more like a horse shoe - both ends kinda bend back toward the other. It’s just like Russia would be left in our standard but on issues like gays they are very RIGHt. It’s a paradox I also think u sport a chip with that Star of David and you are keeping that racist chip. Such a rude wording- I don’t agree with anything except the NS part |
