re: #404 Charles

Goldberg makes some valid points in his book, but I think he is terribly wrong to assert that Nazism is a phenomenon of the “left wing.” That’s historically foolish; anyone who has studied the National Socialist movement realizes that the Nazis were very much a far right wing group. There’s a lot of revisionism going on now among conservatives trying to deny this, for political reasons, and I do not agree with it at all.

I love studying history, especially post-WWI/pre-WWII Germany and the rise of Hitler and the Nazis and I’m with you, Charles. To my knowledge, the Nazis were completely on the opposite end of the political spectrum from the Communists (which, most everyone would agree, are on the “left”). How in the hell can anyone with a functioning brain and a sense of history even argue that the Nazis were anything but right-wing fascists?

/shame on revisionism for political gain, especially from so-called “conservatives”…
