  2.  @thegameplace3748  : Depends. In what things you want to achieve equality? Reality is rather unequal by default, take biology and genes for starters.

  3.  @strychen  "Fun fact, Nazis weren't socialists either once Hitler took over the party." Wrong. Nazis were always socialists, especially after they took over. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  4. Conservatism doesn't mean what you think it means. The Nazis weren't conservatives in Germany.

  6. There was no coup. Cope harder.

  7.  @strychen  "Most of the world wholeheartedly agrees fascism is bad and has no place on earth. I dont feel the need to read the book, but I wont tell you that you cant. I just dont believe the book is needed to teach or learn how bad fascism is." The problem is, 99% of the world has no clue what Fascism means nor what it represented, precisely because they have not read their books. You don't necessarily need the books to learn how bad Fascism is, but you need them to understand what Fascism even is in the first place. For example, National Socialism aka Nazism is not Fascism.

  8.  @strychen  "Nazism is not Fascism, but they absolutely were fascist." Wrong. Nazis were National Socialists. Fascists were Fascists. Two different ideologies.

  9.  @strychen  "You left out the part where the capital F in fascist is specifically tied to the Italians and Mussolini. " Wrong. It makes no difference how you spell or write the word. Fascism has always referred to Mussolini's ideology alone.

  10.  @strychen  "But the Nazis were fascist. " Wrong. Again, They were National Socialists, not Fascists. Two different things.

  11.  @strychen  "you're confusing the fact that the party Hitler joined and the party he took over were fundamentally different before and after." Sure they were different, however after Hitler took over, they certainly took a hard turn into socialism that's for sure.

  12.  @strychen  "I once the Brown Shirts emerged, they went after socialists and Marxists because they were no longer socialists, but fascists" Wrong. Again, they had nothing to do with Fascism whatsoever. Also they were after Marxists and Bolsheviks, because according to them, they were practicing socialism wrong. They were their political, socialist rivals... just like Mensheviks and Trotskyists and anyone opposing the Bolshevik regime were back in the USSR.

  13.  @strychen  "TL:DR - the socialist in their name was a misnomer once the brown shirts emerged." Wrong. Socialism in their name still signified what they were advocating for; socialism on a national level.

  14.  @strychen  "if they took a hard turn into socialists, why did they first get rid of all the socialists and Marxists??" For the same reasons both Lenin and Stalin did after the October Revolution. Go read some books, if you don't know.

  15.  @strychen : People like you should go and read some history, before commenting.

  16. The far-right doesn't even want to. It wants the government to be as small as possible. You see, people on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

  17.  @bakthihapuarachchi3447  : Actually both Fascism and Nazism were revolutionary far-left. They had nothing to do with right wing of any kind.

  18.  @grandcanyon-d4d : Wrong. Neither have anything to do with Right wing.

  19.  @knightsnight5929  : Wrong. National Socialism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on ethnonationalism.
    2
  20.  @grandcanyon-d4d  : Wrong. Both were part of the 3rd position movement. National Socialism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist ideology based on ethnonationalism. Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from Georges Sorel.

  21. "Well, I'm not sure many people know what a coup or insurrection looks like in real time. " Nor do you. Go look at what Augusto Pinochet did in Chile. Now that was a coup.

  22.  @Monica_Leigh  "he wasn't a socialist " Wrong. By definition and his own words, he was. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  23.  @Monica_Leigh  "and they used the socialist party title to appeal to more people." The party title was there to signify what they were advocating for; socialism on a national level. However, Hitler did specifically say, that he wants to appeal to ALL socialists. “But we National Socialists wish precisely to attract all socialists, even the Communists; we wish to win them over from their international camp to the national one.” — Adolf Hitler , Memoirs of a Confidant (1978)

  24.  @Monica_Leigh  "As soon as he was in power he shut down the socialist party and every other party that wasn't the Nazis." Sure, exactly how the Bolshevik regime with Lenin and Stalin did, after the October Revolution. That's how socialist regimes operate... first they eat their own rivals.
    2
  25.  @Monica_Leigh  "despite the author stating that neither the Nazis nor their policies were socialist. " Except the author, who was a Marxist, specifically says that they had socialist policies and that their economy was almost identical to Stalin's USSR.

  26.  @BAM5636  : Nothing to do with right wing of any kind whatsoever. Right wing doesn't believe in collectivism.

  27.  @snakeduck64  : Marxism was the reason why National Socialism was a thing in the first place.
    2
  28.  @rn6312  : No such thing as "actual socialists". They all were socialists and it was only a matter of socialist infighting.

  29.  @m.r4841  : Wrong. Try again.

  30.  @m.r4841  : Cope harder.

  31.  @strychen  "Seems like a history book would do you some good!" I highly suggest reading 'the Vampire Economy' by Günter Reimann.

  32.  @strychen  : Nope. Cope harder.

  33.  @RextheRebel  : Well to be fair... National Socialism only focused on a certain racial minority, while Marxism focuses on everyone who owns any property and means of production. As it turned out, there were more "bourgeoisie" to be purged than there were Jews.

  34.  @scottkrater2131  "The most important word, National." Nationalism is neither left nor right attribute by itself. In fact, Right wing ideologies do not embrace Nationalism, but rather Patriotism. In all Right wing ideologies, the Individual is superior to the State. In Socialist ideologies, the collective (such as the State) is superior to the individual.

  35.  @scottkrater2131  "Communist were the mortal enemies of Germany according to the NSDAP themselves." True, because according to the NSDAP, they were doing socialism wrong, and that National Socialism instead was "proper" socialism. “I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order.” — Adolf Hitler , Hitler Speaks (1940)

  36.  @gcs7817  "The Nazis absolutely were the Conservative Party seeing as how they opposed and fated the left. " They didn't oppose the left in general. They specifically opposed Marxism and Social Democracy. And again, the Nazis weren't conservatives in Germany.

  37. There was no contraction. National Socialism was racial socialism, not Marxist socialism.

  38. "Now, how do we get people who support Trump in the US to understand what he did, in fact, was a coup? " Except it wasn't.

  39. "Seriously, what I saw documented on film was no more, no less than what happened here in the US on January 6th." What happened in your little precious Amurica during that day, was nothing more than a run-of-the-mill riot. Nothing more, nothing less. People like you who are out of touch with reality, are the very reason why we Europeans laugh at your country.

  40.  @JinksDeJenn  " I hope you don't say that out of some defense of political dogmatism." No. I say that as a matter of fact. If you think that the January 6th riot was a coup, then you have no clue what you are talking about whatsoever.

  41.  @JinksDeJenn  "Despite the outcome being bad, the only thing will matter is that the ideology of libertarianism is being followed; this is political dogma. The name of that particular religion is libertarian and the name of their god is Ayan Rand. " Good. At least it would be a step forward in your American country.

  42.  @JinksDeJenn  " If you're inferring that authoritarianism is superior to freedom, then we live in different worlds. " Of course not, which is why Libertarianism is the superior option.

  43. Nothing to do with far-right nor right wing or any kind in the first place.

  44.  @b.j.880  "The Nazis are as socialist as North Korea is Democratic and Popular (DPRK)" Well North Korea is democratic to a degree, since they allow people to vote and hold elections in the first place... unlike socialist Cuba for example.

  45.  @adoredpariah  "the Nazi's used the name for populist appeal " Wrong. They used the name because a) it signified what they were advocating for; socialism on a national level and b) they specifically wanted to attract other rival socialists to join their socialist cause instead. Hitler was very clear on this. “But we National Socialists wish precisely to attract all socialists, even the Communists; we wish to win them over from their international camp to the national one.” — Adolf Hitler , Memoirs of a Confidant (1978)

  46.  @adoredpariah  "and killed off the socialists in the government. " Wrong. He didn't. However both Lenin and Stalin killed other socialists after the October Revolution, so your point being what exactly?
    1
  47.  @adoredpariah  : The point is, that if those Neo-Nazis aren't voting for the people who are advocating for collectivism and socialism, then they aren't Neo-Nazis in the first place.

  48.  @FreeVegan771  "focus was on achieving power whatever the cost" Maybe, however in order to do this, you need to centralized the power of the government and the economy in general ... hence, to use socialism. After all, you cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  49.  @BAM5636  "No, Hitler wasn't really a socialist." Wrong. By definition he was. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

  50.  @BAM5636  "He took over the socialist party and used it in name only." Wrong. Hitler thought the Marxists were INSINCERE about their socialism. One of the main points made in Mein Kampf. And the reason why, for the Nazis, socialism had to become nationalist.
