the Night of Long Knives.
-First people sent to camps were socialists and leftists.
-Only conservative, pro-capitalist political parties voted with the NSDAP; the SDP (all other leftist parties had fled) was the only political party to vote against the NSDAP.
Nazi Germany didn’t operate under planned economics or a regulated economy, instead business interests were put first. They even had mass privatizations. All businesses taken from those they considered ‘inferior’ or ‘traitors’ were re-privatized.
No leftist was ‘ready to adopt’ fascism.
hitler was not a ‘secret progressive’, nor does such a concept make sense. RWers like to talk about ‘secret this’ and ‘secret that’. Doesn’t happen. If hitler wanted something to happen, it would’ve happened - he wouldn’t have had to be ‘secret’ about it. In fact the night of long knives wouldn’t have happened at all (where ‘moderates’ [comparatively] in the nsdap were murdered/purged).
Fascism has ALWAYS been known as a far-right thing, and the idea of it being ‘far-left’ came from the cold war, specifically the US government.
Most people that say its left-wing don’t even believe it themselves, as they’ll turn around and defend things like the ‘Unite the Right’ rallies that were organized by the ‘national socialist movement’, the legal successor of the ‘american nazi party’.
Things like Encyclopedia Britannica - a British-American encyclopedia - will list in greater detail the economic and social policies tied to fascism.
Like modern-day socialism, Hitler was all about progressivism. He had a rowdy activist group do his dirty work unofficially and take the heat off of him. Two of them were even caught by military officials during a raid having gay sex and Hitler excused them because he didn’t want any heat associated with killing gays. Also, like modern-day socialism, the left in America was more than pleased with how well things were working and were fully ready to adopt Nazi Germany’s way of doing things right up until news about those pesky forced labor camps and death camps starting getting out so they quickly spun national socialism as a far-right thing where it remained known as such until recent years.

My boy give the documentary “Death of a Nation” a watch and the book called the “Enciclopedia Italiana” a read sometime. You’d be amazed at how similar the two political ideologies truly are.

“The difference in terms of practical application between the twin branches of socialism is a matter of picking your Deus Ex playstyle. Bolsheviks blow down the front door, lay waste to the NSF, and seize the means of production down the barrel of a GEP gun. Nazis implement socialism by stealth. Depriving the public of their property slowly, by degrees, but under no less overt a threat of force, and subjugate Liberty Island one hacked security terminal at a time.” -Rageaholic

Communism: The world will be at its best when we usher in a classless society, where man shall give according to his ability and take according to his needs.
Nazism: The world belongs to the strong and the brutal. The weak and cowardly deserve to die.
Background Pony #5930: I see literally no difference.

It’s not about banning aryanne. You’re missing the whole point. The point is not letting anything get banned and forcing retards to use filters.
@PastelBacon
This is your friendly reminder that you can’t argue with these people, that it’s literally not possible for them to concede to reason, they’re adherents of Saul Alinsky’s ‘rules for radicals’, they don’t know what compromise is. They’ve been riled up into a zealous frenzy and tricked into believing that actual, honest to god Nazis are on the brink of taking over and that a meme horse is how they’re going to do it.
The best policy has always been to ignore people who argue in bad faith and with no further intention than destroy whatever target they’ve been pointed at. Read these and learn to recognise the people living by them.
“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. ‘Have-Nots’ must build power from flesh and blood.”
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
“Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.”
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
“Keep the pressure on.”
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.”
“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
“If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside. Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.”
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.”

Even worse, a lot of people in the US cannot tell the difference between Communism & Socialism. Their overton window is so dam right.
By international standards, the mainstream Democrats are Center-Right to Right….
@Background Pony #C48A
Thats far from true lol. People will call you a Nazi for something as pathetic as not liking a videogame. Everyone who didnt like last of us 2, myself included, has been called a Nazi so i’d say that baseless insult is far more overused.
@Background Pony #5930
Problem is communist/socialist gets thrown around way more in the US then “Nazi” ever does. I know that is hard to believe if you are conservative but we can’t even talk about basic government services without some loon calling it “socialism”. Chances are if someone is wrongfully called a Nazi they are being an asshole to begin with.
Imagine wanting to draw a nazi themed pony and then being surprised when most people don’t want to see your degeneracy or tolerate your stupidity?
Then imagine a privately owned website that might decide it’s not worth the constant moderation of such dumb posts (because they always come with some far-right stupidity) and just ban it all together.
I feel sorry for the moderators of this site. Having to review all the garbage it attracts.
@Harambe-Orangutan
Don’t get me wrong—I know that Communism never worked in practice, and I would probably have hated living in a Communist country myself. But to act like Communism and Nazism are morally equivalent as ideologies is laughable.

Okay, its pretty easy
-First people sent to camps were socialists and leftists.
-Only conservative, pro-capitalist political parties voted with the NSDAP; the SDP (all other leftist parties had fled) was the only political party to vote against the NSDAP.

Then all I can ask is that you do your own research then and prove me wrong.
So much of what you said was wrong that I’m not sure if it was English.
Okay, cliff notes version then.
Like modern-day socialism, Hitler was all about progressivism. He had a rowdy activist group do his dirty work unofficially and take the heat off of him.

“Through historical re-creations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza…”
Aaaaaand, we’re done.

Your first mistake was thinking that Nazism is in any way related to socialism.
“The difference in terms of practical application between the twin branches of socialism is a matter of picking your Deus Ex playstyle. Bolsheviks blow down the front door, lay waste to the NSF, and seize the means of production down the barrel of a GEP gun. Nazis implement socialism by stealth.

But they are, though.
The overton window “expert” has logged on. Oh, what joy.

I like the fact that humans are predictable. If it means not banning things to stop them from spreading, so be it.

The end results were the same as millions died from each ideology, but good point.
