Was Hitler a Socialist?

You're the most right person in this thread. Except me, of course. But you're very close.

Everyone just wants to assign him to their enemy so they can say "We can't follow (insert), he's just like Hitler! The next Hitler won't be Hitler, anyway, he'll be something else entirely. You don't have to believe in the master Aryan race to kill a crap load of people and try and take over the world.

There's a good reason why SpokenTruth gets ignored. There's nothing baseless about aligning Hitler with the far-right, because his nationalism and push towards one simple answer for all kinds of problems is exactly what the far-right stands for. Of course the modern far-right won't be doing exactly the same things that Hitler did, but the underlying principles are the same.

Brexit is a good of example of modern far-right thinking where nationalism combined with one simple answer now leaves people dumbfounded why they voted for a Brexit in the first place. Brexit was sold to them as something that would improve their quality of life, because EU membership of the UK was supposedly one big disadvantage.

Aligning Hitler with the far-right is not a statement that the far-left are the good guys, it's merely performing a logical analysis of history.

Right.

The push towards one simple answer for all kinds of problems is far-right? Hmm... How did it go? "The solution to all the problems of the European Union is more European Union" - I guess EU is a far-right organization Or maybe that's just a regular tool in politics used everywhere and your "logical analysis of history" and "underlying principle" claim is a load of crap? Naaahh... That'd be too easy...

UK will benefit from Brexit in the long term, I have no doubt about that and I envy them for it.

Also, nationalism isn't right wing. There was national bolshevism, the regime of Chavez and Maduro were also very nationalistic, yet I doubt anyone is going to call them far-right

 

Hitler wasn't right wing. Sorry. Socialism is cancer - in any way, shape or form.
