Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Stumplicker]

Again, he was in favor of a socialist economy. Fascism and socialism can (and often have) co-existed. Germany was going away from being a capitalist state under Hitler. I mentioned communism, because you said he hated socialism, which wasn't true. He hated communism. And Capitalism. Capitalism was actually one of the things he blamed for the economic woes of Germany when he took pwoer.

No. Sorry. You're incorrect. Authoritarian Anti-capitalism is not the same thing as socialism. Below are several sources. Take your pick. Hitler used Socialism as a carrot, and then beat all its proponents to death with a stick as soon as he had power. Nazi Germany was a Fascist dictatorship. It was a Germany-first economic model using privatized companies, but privatized companies run by the "right" people as viewed by those in power. I'm sick of both sides of the political debate in this country comparing each other to Nazi Germany. Neither one of them is correct, and they all take an incorrect view of history.
