I see you haven't distinguished between contradiction and argument yet. Simply saying that it isn’t so, or, that it is something else is not an argument. My emoticon assessment is, and will always be, spot on. This video should help.
Oh please. You wanna quote Monty Python to me of all people? What a rookie.
No rookie, posting a Monty Python video neither makes nor refutes an argument. What I did, I'll explain yet again, was to point out that what you're using as a basis is a bullshit propaganda piece put out by an organization that specialized in bullshit propaganda. It has no more value as a basis of argument than pointing at the word "socialist" in the name of the NSDAP. Even less actually. You're asking us to believe what the Nazis used to sell themselves is gospel truth. God only knows what that means we should believe about, say, Jews.
In short, your basis is utter worthless bullshit. I don't know how I can reduce it to anything simpler.
You keep calling official statements of the Nazi party "propaganda," and saying that direct quotes from Hitler or other politicians stating that they are socialist and the enemies of capitalism don't mean what any 5-year-old would think they mean, but what do you offer in opposition? so far all we've seen is some vague complaint from Hitler than he didn't want "socialism" in the Party title. He never says anywhere that he opposes socialism. You have never posted a single thing where any Nazi party official says they are opposed to socialism.
Who do you think you're fooling?
Uh- really. "All we've seen" meaning "all you've chosen to read" is not the same as "all there is".
I posted this here six days ago, on the 80th anniversary of the opening of Dachau:
... The Nazis were strongly influenced by the post-World War I far-right in Germany, which held common beliefs such as anti-Marxism, anti-liberalism, and anti-Semitism, along with nationalism, contempt towards the Treaty of Versailles, and condemnation of the Weimar Republic for signing the armistice in November 1918 that later led to their signing of the Treaty of Versailles. A major inspiration for the Nazis were the far-right nationalist Freikorps, paramilitary organizations that engaged in political violence after World War I.
-- Nazism
March 20, 1933 - Dachau Opens - Heinrich Himmler, SS leader and chief of the Munich police, announces the opening of the Dachau concentration camp. The camp is located about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany. Dachau is one of the first concentration camps the Nazis establish. The first prisoners arrive two days later. They are mainly Communists and Socialists and other political opponents of the Nazi party.
In the space of fourteen months in 1935-36, 2,197 persons from left-wing circles were arrested in Berlin alone. In 1936, 11,687 persons were arrested throughout Germany for illegal socialist activity. In 1936 the Gestapo seized 1,643,200 illicit leaflets distributed by the Communist and Social-Democratic Parties alone and, in 1937, 927,430.
---- History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945 (p. 16)
Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about 20,000 camps to imprison its many millions of victims. These camps were used for a range of purposes including forced-labor camps, transit camps which served as temporary way stations, and extermination camps built primarily or exclusively for mass murder. From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built a series of detention facilities to imprison and eliminate so-called "enemies of the state." Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior.
More recently there was 882 today.
And your response to all this is:
