Nazis are socialists... hence the name of Hitler's partyView attachment 147150 Eye witness accounts say it was a white supremacist riot in Charlotteville.

Halter co-opted the Socialist Party, in much the same way that Trump co-opted the Republican Party. Just as Trump really isn't a Republican, neither was Hitler a socialist.
Hitler hated socialism and wanted to change the party name but Goebbels talked him out of it, saying it made him appear to be on the side of the people. The rest of Europe initially appeased Hitler because he was a right winger who opposed communism. They considered him an important bulwark against Stalin in the east.
Read your history.
True dat. "Socialism" was a trendy marketing term of the time which is why Hitler went along with it. It boggles the mind to read the wags here who insist that "Hitler was a socialist because he had the word in his party name" --- as if Hitler was some kind of altruistic angel who would never stoop to propaganda...
Matter of fact the whole purpose of his SA ("brownshirts") was to beat up and intimidate the real socialists so that the NSDAP could take over. And when the first political prison opened at Dachau, socialists were the first "guests". And oh yes Hitler, the guy who's word is to be taken at face value because he would never lie, referred to those brownshirts as the "gymnastics and sports division".
brownshirts of 1930 equals antifa and blm of 2017. wake the fuck up, hopstick!
"Antifa" and "BLM" are beating up socialists then?
Link?
Berkley for starters, not just beating up socialists, but beating up everyone who is not them.
