    …but…he was a socialist… a national socialist to be more precise…

    edit: it’s a play off of what “Nazi” meant, Nationalsozialist.

    Jesus you people are thicker than a clogged toilet. read a fucking book.

      Not at all. The Nazi party was formed specifically to combat the rising KPD and the unions, and to facilitate privitization and protect the interests of Capitalists. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.

        The word Nazi, meaning “a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party,” is short for the German term for National Socialist (Nationalsozialist).

        but also

        Although the word socialist appears in the party title for Nazism, the Nazi ideology doesn’t have much to do with far-left traditional socialism. Hitler’s definition of National Socialism, a platform that serves one’s country only, is closer to far-right fascism and authoritarianism on the ideological spectrum.

        so although your understanding is correct, colloquially I am also correct. besides it was a joke.

        was more of a play off of “nazi” than actual facts.

        like all fascist pieces of shit, if there are words spoken from their mouths they are all lies.
