hdbuckdoes national-socialism ring any bell?
According to Hitler's race theory, german race should be placed on the top of the pyramid. Imperfect races (estonians, romanians, lithuanians, ..., ending with jews and asian people) were supposed to be placed on the buttom levels and work for higher levels. This is the basic idea of so-called "national-socialism", and it's is a direct opposition for socialism itself. The term "national-socialism" is an oxymoron.
may i suggest that hitler's party was leftwing socialism before it all got outta control?
Sorry, but you can suggest that Hitler was a martian spy and it will look similar. I can't imagine where you've found this nonsense. Hitler's party always was far-right, it was started as far-right motion from the beginning.
Advice for the future, try to read something about the subject before discussing it. Socialism is inter-nacionalist motion by definition. You can agree or disagree with it, but it doesn't mean that we should mislead people by posting such incredible nonsense.
You have to learn a party program before judging anything. Hitler wasn't the only example of using the name to get some additional points. Just one example for the better understanding, LDPR (Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia) has nothing in common with liberal democracy, they're far-right nationalists. Don't see the headlines, watch the content.
Epilogue.
Speaking of socialism, you have to remind that just as liberalism, the socialist movement has many directions. Some of them are:
- Marxist socialism;
- Democratic socialism (variation of marxist theory);
- Vedic socialism ;
- Christian socialism;
- African socialism;
- Arab Socialism;
- Agrarian socialism;
- Ecosocialism;
- Socialism of the XXI century.
If somebody said that his party has a socialist program, this doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's a marxist party, a typical western social-democratic party with crazy taxes or even christian party, who knows?
