re: #101 Charles

There are almost no reputable historians who classify the Nazis as left wing; this is pure historical revisionism, and it’s false.

I’m my own historian and I disagree 110% Charles. Marxist socialism is not the only socialism in the world. Nothing in your post refutes mine. Not one item. I don’t rely on other historians for my opinions. I go by what I see. Perhaps Hitler appealed to the Right in the beginning, but he himself was not a Conservative or on the Right in his heart.

And Hitler’s ideas for eliminating races were inspired by Lenin and Stalin’s ideals, who based their genocidal ideals on class.

Rudolf Hoss (Architect of Auschwitz)

“The Reich Security Head Office issued to the commandants a full collection of reports concerning the Russian concentration camps. These described in great detail the conditions in, and organization of, the Russian camps, as supplied by former prisoners who had managed to escape. Great emphasis was placed on the fact that the Russians, by their massive employment of forced labor, had destroyed whole peoples”.

Hitler’s own words:

“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” —Adolf Hitler

He was a Leftist, and I have no doubts, believe whatever you like. Free Country.
