Who gives a shit. Somehow classifying someone in history as a socialists, progressive, communist, conservative, liberalist, ect doesn't all then equate anyone of that as the next Hitler.

Any the above I listed and others, if you go extreme enough, you end up with a Hitler or Stalin or other person in history that did mass genocide. It's never where they fall on the spectrum of any sort of philosophy, party, ect. It's when someone becomes extreme do those things happen.

Edit: If he was a socialist, that doesn't mean I expected Bernie to become the next Hitler. If he was whatever Trump is, doesn't mean I expect Trump to start doing what HItler did, ect.

Anytime someone brings up someone is the next Hitler or someone else, they lose all manner of discussion I planned to have with them. There is no reasonable discussion you can have with someone who says taht.
