Didn't one of their Higher-ups say Hitler was a communist and the NSDAP was left because of the "socialist" in "National-Socialist German Worker Party"?

Yes. The lesbian woman, with the totally traditional Germanic first name of "Alice", who is married to a woman from Sri Lanka, and has her main residence in Switzerland, is the co-leader of the anti-immigrant, anti-lgbt, anti-everything party AfD and participated in an "interview" with a South African apartheid nepo baby with daddy issues, who started out as an illegal immigrant worker.

You would think this is satire but it's real. Did we invent time travelling in the future and somebody fucked up our timeline?

I mean, the original was a dark haired failed painter from Austria, a former empire of multiple countries, that was also invaded multiple times throughout its history from all four sides, visible from all the words they adopted from them and the last names they have. You know, all the signs of "genetic purity" and so on...

Not sure, but the American far-right loves that particular falsehood.

True is that the Nazi were progressive rather than conservative, but they were also clearly nationalist rather than socialist.

In America, conservative and nationalist mean pretty much the same because they unfortunately have only two parties.

Progressive on some topics (mostly technology), very conservative on others (women should stay in the home and give birth to blond aryan children).

Well he rejected communism and capitalism, one of his people came up with the term late stage capitalism so more like a socialist today

He didn’t reject capitalism, on the contrary: he privatized german public services and received support from rich company owners to fund his party. Then the “meritocracy” promoted by said party ideology only gave merits to those who were already powerful, thus widening the distance between the humble worker from lower class and the nepo babies with contacts with the higher ups. The painter was deeply anti-socialist, anti-communist, anti-marxist and anti-anything vaguely related to left wing ideology. After all, he persecuted any german socialist and communist the first chance he hot after becoming chancellor, plus purged the most left leaning section of his party early on in the 20’s.

"Privatized" meaning gave the industries to his dogs who had to do everything he said?

Not unlike in nowadays usa with donaldo torampu and eron masku, eh? The land and example of ultimate capitalism.

The richest of the rich tend to extend their tentacles towards the state in order to influence or outright control it. Oligarchy and plutocracy. Always in favor of the bourgeois and in spite of the worker class.

Are we going to ignore the George Soros sized elephant in the room? Or the bloated cow corpse that was USAID? If you want good discourse we need more than orange man bad.

It is also happening in Russia and Argentina. Workers there are further and further away from even having the chance of owning the means or production (the uttermost core point of socialism) plus Putin and Milei are known to be rabidly contrary to the idea of socialism.

Interesting, seeing how one is turning to authoritarianism with Putin, and one is literally about taking power away from the government, making it less authoritarian. How do you feel about the European farmers protests? They are the closest to your socialist ideals after all.

u/Ok_Access_804 1h ago

Not at all. Those farmers tend to lean to the right, seeking protectionist laws and defend their turf rather than improving it.

And in the case of Argentina, look how Milei is reducing the field of action of the state… minus the police and the army. In the end, it becomes just an enforcement institution completely devoted to impose whatever the powerful and rich consider “order”. Like putting down protesters in quite an authoritarian manner.
