Well that ' s another way of putting it , but I don ' t think my tittle was erroneous though . It could have been phrased differently , of course . <| sep |> Stop pasting it . You ' re not teaching anyone anything . It ' s a false equivalence to paste that link instead of replying to the argument in a manner that actually addresses it . <| sep |> Is there a secret Santa happening for PC ? This sounds fun <| sep |> Reeeeally ? Mmmmm , I can ' t wait ! <| sep |> Hitler was a National Socialist which has very little to do with what we would call socialism . Hitler himself claimed that Nazism borrowed elements from both ends of the political spectrum and existed outside of the rightleft spectrum we try to put him on . One of Hitler ' s most hated groups were communists . According to Hitler , Marxism was mental and physical slavery and existed as the primary enemy of Nazi Germany and Europe as a whole . He wrote in Mein Kampf that his singular goal was to see it wiped from the Earth . Communists were killed in Nazi death camps alongside every other oppressed group . It would be incredibly stupid to describe him as a socialist .
