Adolf Hitler? Socialist.

Franklin Roosevelt? Socialist.

Joseph Stalin? Dare I say, he was a downright pinko!

The entirety of WWII was just leftist infighting over Trotskyist revisionism. Just a big ol' non-binary fuss over intercontinental ballistic tweets. Wake up, sheeple!

Simple reply is: More emphasis on National[ism]. Hitler didn't even like the name, the party was formed and named before he joined.

Having recently read Rise & Fall, yeah. The party started out as a small nationalist club with socialist tendencies to attract the impoverished WW1 soldiers. But Hitler only cared about the nationalist part, and once they had any sort of public presence, Hitler squashed any attempts at doing anything socialist. For example at one point when they were a minority party, there was a vote to take land from the wealthy Junkers, which some members of the party wanted to vote for, because it wouls be popular with their voters. But Hitler refused, because he wanted the Junker's support and money.

Does anyone actually say that?

Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Dinesh D'Souza, and Peter Hitchens among names you may have heard of.

As well as an endless supply of idiots on web forums throughout the last 30+ years.

This is the right's favourite lie to distance themselves from the natural end result of their ideology.

I'll have to save this image for the next time someone does this very-intelligent galaxy-brain shit.
