  1. People who create ideologies often reach back to historical examples and philosophies that agree with whatever they are pushing more often than they are inspired by them.

  2. "Nazi" refers to members of that German party 1920-1945 specifically, and has become a derogatory (cliché) insult, that is perpetually misapplied. Like to nationalistic American republicans, who are very much not socalists. So very much no. Anywhere.

  3. @9:00 More like just like Hitler and Co. did with German competing parties, they cannibalized them rather than destroyed. "Convincing" like minded groups to fold themselves within the NSDAP and suppressing the rest. Its a nuanced distinction, but as you mentioned, there were plenty of window lickers in each of the countries Germany occupied who were far enough on the socialist side of the national socalist spectrum, that the Nazis could "work with them".

  4. After WWI and into the '30s everywhere in Europe, heck, around the world, there were 51 flavors of revolution all vying for control as every over educated trust-fund kid who had read Das Captial thought they had the answer all the problems.
