I'll repost my post from the other thread.
Someone may have already, but I doubt it had any success, so I'll do it too, lets have a political maths lesson.
Communism (a political ideology advocating a stateless, classless society in which everyone is equal and the means of production are distributed equally)=/= National Socialism (a political party in which Hitler rose to prominence, which, once Hitler controlled it, advocated a patriarchal society, rigid social classes, absolute obedience to the state, and and a government controlled economy, which was directed to xenophobic and racist ends).
No matter how you try to spin it, Communism and Nazism are completely incompatible.
That's dealing with people trying to draw equivalence between the two doctrines, now I'll extrapolate my argument.
Nazism, as the party, originated in post WW1 Germany, it was started by a fellow that believed in the purity of the German
volk (or
people, think Volkswagen
), his idea of national socialism was a racially pure society, with the socialist aspect of it being "profit-sharing"(offering businesses incentives to look after their employees), thus setting it apart from the socialism of the time (which advocated government). Then everyone's favourite fuehrer came along, acting a spy for the German military (back when he was a corporal), and he, with his great oratory skills (fellatio may have been involved too:mrgreen
slowly took over the party and became the leader (
fuehrer, in that fine language) and used that party as a stepping stone to power, advocating, as mentioned above, a patriarchal society, rigid social classes, absolute obedience to the state, anti-communism, anti-liberalism, anti-socialism, anti-semitism etc. Now, if we look at liberalism back in the early 1900's, it advocated individuality, freedom, liberty etc. So to contrast the two, we have a reactionary, xenophobic, and very conservative party, vs. those qualities mentioned before.
So in conclusion, Nazism is an extreme right wing ideology.
