Socialism is on the left (equality, no rich people, government represents the working class instead of exploiting them) and fascism is on the right (all power to the elite, the workers are just trying to get free shit from the rich). To get elected, Hitler named his anti-socialist party the National Socialist Party. After confusing some socialist voters and getting elected, his #1 goal was to destroy the Soviet Union because it was socialist. So he killed 40 million Soviets as his forces advanced through Russia. Please correct World History by informing us how Hitler was really a leftist socialist.
Actually I think you are close to correct. The Nazi did start out as a combine of socialist and Communists. But they sort of lost control to the crazy ass dictator the put in charge. So I don't think it is correct that the mad man changed the lefties into anything other than what they already were. History is pretty straight on this I think.
You infer that there were socialist planks in the National Socialism platform/manifesto when Hitler was elected. Like what? You'll have to find vague generalities in what he said to get elected, to find anything close to socialism. What I meant by confusing to socialist voters is, simply putting the word Socialist into his party's name. The name alone not only confused some socialists to at first think he was a harmless clown, but also still confuses Denny into claiming that Hitler was socialist. Some people never learn.
Nope. Socialism is the appeal to the poorer class to centralize and grow power of the state. Fascism is the appeal to the middle class to centralize and grow power of the state. The objective of both is the same - grow power of the state. Often both feature authoritarian rule and the leaders wear soldier suits. Next you'll try to pass off that the reason Hitler invaded France was because it was socialist.
Like what? Public education Public works Public jobs programs (shovel ready, even) http://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/haken32.htm There's a whole lot more talk of why the Nazis called themselves socialists at the link. Did you flunk history?
