Hitler was a National Socialist, meaning full blown socialism for the German nation, and only his version of it - i.e not including Jews, Disabled etc.

Hitler was a fascist. He was right wing, I'd hate to tell you.

Originally posted by http://www.auschwitz.dk/bullseye/new_page_3.htm Nazi is a short term for the National Socialist German Workers Party, a right-wing political party formed in 1919 primarily by unemployed German veterans of World War 1. Adolf Hitler became head of the party in 1921, and under his leadership the party eventually became a powerful political force in German elections by the early 1930's. The Nazi party ideology was largely based on nationalism and racism. They promoted Germany as superior to all other nations and promised to restore it to greatness, while championing a scientific theory of racism, in which the Aryan (German) people were racially superior to all others. In 1933, Hitler assumed power in Germany and he ended German democracy and severely restricted basic rights, such as freedom of speech, press, and assembly. He established a brutal dictatorship through a reign of terror.

He was not a capitalist, easy example: how many people he employed under the state.

The US has public projects too, those workers are employed by the state, does that make the US a socialist nation? No, it is still capitalist.

Communism and Nazism are similar in many ways. They are both forms of collective thought or tribalism, and both ended in horrific failure and caused horrendous atrocities. They also share another characteristic, both are entwined with anti-semitism, and before you jump on me with 'but trotsky was a Jew' look at Marx's own anti-semitic writings, or Stalin's discriminatory murders.

Republicans are more like Nazis. Nazis weren't collective, they were the "vanguard" of individualism.

Marx was a Jew too! That is why Hitler had the socialists killed, because socialism was part of the "jewish conspiracy". Stalin was a terrible person, most real communists acknoweldge this![1]

Both also impoversihed all the countries that adopted them and both were defeated by relatively liberal (free) capitalism.

Really? The socialist attempts in Russia and China modernized backeward nations into industrialized societies!

Nazism, I cannot speak for. It was a perverted form of capitalism that oppressed and exploited too many people.
