Seriously?
The Nazis were not socialists. They were FASCISTS. I put that in capitals just to make sure. Someone must have told you this before now. Everybody knows this right? Fascist. They are the textbook definition of fascists. Fascists are extreme right wing groups. Once again: Nazi's = fascists.
They put "socialist"" in their name to try and steal working class members from the Communist groups that were popular at the time. It was a ruse.
I am well aware of the history of Communism, I am a historian. I don't need to read Wikipedia, but thanks for the link. But we were talking about Nazi's. We don't need "but what about the Communists" in the discussion, since the only point to doing that is to belittle the Nazi crimes, whether you intended that or not. I already addressed this in my earlier post but you did it again above when you say the Nazi regime ""only lasted twelve years."" and that history needs ""to be taken in context."
This is offensive, as its on the edge of holocaust denial. This is exactly what I was talking about earlier, this reimagining of the Nazi's with comparisons of them being ""not so bad"" compared to Stalin...
Start a thread about Communism somewhere if you want to talk about it, but you should stop making comparisons that come out in favour of Nazi's - in a thread that's about people glorifying Nazis.[/QUOTE]

New Zealand is the most libertarian country in the world, which makes it the most far right country in the world. NZ pioneered socialism, making them us most far left country. I would suggest this is because political terms like left and right are for politics, and thus are not required to make any sense. In a libertarian world, the economy is largely composed of collectives and cooperatives and whatnot, (NZs meat processors, irrigation companies, etc etc). As in communism. Likewise, in a libertarian country you can collectively decide to pool money and give it to poor people (ie, welfare). So extreme right and extreme left, in terms of economics come full circle. Most of the communist and libertarian youth have the same political position, they just don't understand it.
The real argument is central planning and command and control economies. These run head long into physics, where they fight an endless battle with entropy they will inevitably lose. Much of that entropy comes from the fact people are the weak link. In order to get the system to run right, people must behave in a predictable fashion. Thus, the ultimate battle of a centrally planned economy, left or right, is getting the people to behave as numbers in a panning model. The only way to do that is authoritarianism and totalitarianism. This is why Russia has 48 million hectares of prime temperate farmland out of production to this day. Nature won't play the game.
I think you will find a good percentage of the modern internet Nazis are Jews having a good laugh.
