Anybody claiming to believe that Nazis were socialists need to provide evidence of themselves eating urinal cake. Otherwise we know that they are misusing the etymological fallacy on purpose.


it's the Nazi's own use of the term in describing their party name that is being referred to.


Do you believe it? If not, why bring it up suddenly 81 years later? Were you trying to say something about today's fascists?


i have no idea what you're going on about, because my entire point was that the terminology meant different things at different times, purposefully obviously.


Yes people misuse words on purpose sometimes. I don't know what point you're trying to make here - calling AfD the far right and fascists isn't controversial, just because they don't call themselves socialists like Hitler did.

I don't happen to know what AfD is, so i definitely didn't call them anything.

My point was that terminology can be overloaded in contradictory ways; it's been clarified multiple times above that such is the point, including in my original comment's short last sentence.

p.s. I think we're saying essentially the same thing(s).
