No I am not a hardcore socialist like the Nazis and communists.

Which of the two listed above are worse for you?
Me? Nazis without a doubt.
From what I read on DP we are already a Communist nation and that's working out pretty good for me. I don't know how Nazi-ism would work out for me.
If you ask me to chose between Nazi Germany and certain examples of Communism, such as the USSR under Stalin or Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, it's really hard to chose -- similar death count, similar disregard for human dignity, similar kind of totalitarian rule.
Nah, we're much closer to fascism than communism. We just cut out the nasty bits that are most commonly associated with people like Hitler, Franco, and Mussolini.
I'm not sure the death count is similar when we include the KR. I think they're credited by some with killing more than a 1/4 of the population of Cambodia.
I was being a bit facetious and I honestly can't figure out exactly what we (as a Nation) have become. As a retiree, I'm kind of disconnected even though I read extensively. The opinions tend to overwhelm the facts.
The KR were responsible for around 1.5 million deaths. They claimed it was communism. It wasn't remotely related to anything to be found in the writings of Marx or Engels. The Kim's also claim to be communists, but they are nationalists and equality isn't anywhere on their agenda.
I wouldn't really much separate the workings of Mao, Stalin or Hitler by very much other than rhetoric. It's not about left versus right, but tyranny versus humanity.
Communists and Nazis are both hardcore leftist totalitarians and just plain evil.
It makes far-righties feel better to believe that it is, Medusa, even though they share a lot of beliefs with the Nazis.

Nazism and Fascism in general are neither left-wing nor right-wing. Fascism was deliberately created as an alternative to the left-right dichotomy in politics. It borrows many elements from different ideologies.
Really?
Perhaps you could cite a few examples?
It appears to anyone with sense that a political party that called itself socialist, and who's practitioners went around Germany for decades preaching about the glories of socialism, was in fact SOCIALIST.....

the great thing about the nazis were they were what ever you needed them to be. Hence the endless number of contradictory statements from the Fuhrer on what he actually was and represented, politically and religiously
That would be incorrect.
Both are left-wing.
