HITLER WAS NOT A SOCIALIST.

An oft repeated right wing lie that must be debunked whenever possible.

Firstly, I'm not a Marxist. I'm not especially a socialist, either, although I do believe that healthcare should be socialized. That's another post entirely, though. One, now that I think of it, I may write later. But I digress...

The Nazis outlawed socialism. They were imprisoning, and killing, socialists and communists before they were killing Jews. 

There were socialists in the Nazi party initially. They were represented mainly by the Strasser brothers and Strasserism. Guess what happened to them? Otto Strasser was expelled from the party in 1930 after a disagreement with Hitler over Hitler's disregard for socialist ideals during which Hitler repeatedly called Strasser a "liberal". He later went into exile in Czechoslovakia. The other brother, Gregor Strasser? Murdered during the Night of the Long Knives. 

Hitler didn't even believe in socialist economic principles nor did he institute them.

“Hitler was never a socialist. But although he upheld private property, individual entrepreneurship, and economic competition, and disapproved of trade unions and workers' interference in the freedom of owners and managers to run their concerns, the state, not the market, would determine the shape of economic development. Capitalism was, therefore, left in place. But in operation it was turned into an adjunct of the state."

            - Hitler 1936 – 45: Nemisis, by Ian Kershaw.

“We have to strip the terms ‘Nationalism’ and ‘Socialism’ of their previous meaning. Only that man is a nationalist who stands by his people, and only that man is a socialist who stands up for the rights of his people both internally and externally.”

            - Adolf Hitler, November 16, 1928.

There are so many articles that have been written on why Hitler was not a socialist that I honestly don't understand how anyone could fall for a lie so blatant.

Here is Reddit featuring many, many people debunking this nonsense. 

Here is a youtube video debunking the claim as made by Steven Crowder, a well known lying piece of shit -

Here is Professor David Klein of California State University, Northridge debunking the same myth.

Here's a Guardian opinion piece about this continually repeated lie. 

Here's a piece written by Albert Einstein on socialism.

Here's the definition of socialism itself for the people that are confused. 

When you search google for Hitler's links to left wing socialism you'll find yourself all but drowned in a murky green soup of right wing propaganda sites that try to distance themselves from this obviously right wing fascist dictator. Infowars, CNS, TheRebel, TheNationalReview, etc. The target of this fallacy is obvious, right wingers that don't check sources.  It's intended goal is equally obvious – Fear mongering.

“Look how the left is the enemy!” They scream. 

Ironically, this is exactly why Hitler sometimes claimed to be a socialist. It was a way to win over the workers with words while he acted in whichever way suited him best.

If he was such a left winger and a socialist then why was he supported by the right and by big business? Big business which, by the way, flourished before, during, and even after the war.

This shit is basic as hell and I feel like I shouldn't even have to write it... but I clearly do... So here it is.

Have a great day.

Heysoos is right.

I'm right.

Read this, you curious cunt!

Let's talk about the word cunt.

Firstly, let's dispel something right now. The word cunt is NOT automatically misogynistic. The word cunt is not reserved for women. Personally, I rarely use the word when referring to women for that very reason. Can a woman be a cunt? Sure! Anyone can be a cunt. You could be a cunt right now while reading this. Hell, I'm a cunt sometimes.

Wikipedia defines cunt as follows:

Cunt /ˈkʌnt/ is a vulgar word for the vulva or vagina and is also used as a term of disparagement. Reflecting different national usages, cunt is described as "an unpleasant or stupid person" in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, whereas Merriam-Webster states that it is a "usually disparaging and obscene" term for a woman or an "offensive way to refer to a woman" in the United States.

The key here is “in the United States”. Only Americans restrict the use of this word to women. To me, that's more misogynistic than the use of the word. Are pussies only women? Are dicks only men?

Wikipedia goes on to say:

The Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English gives "a contemptible person". When used with a positive qualifier (good, funny, clever, etc.) in Britain, New Zealand, and Australia, it can convey a positive sense of the object or person referred to.

So, in other English speaking countries the word cunt is not only not exclusive to women but it's also used as a positive sometimes. E.g. - “Nice one, you cheeky cunt!” would not be insulting to an Aussie or a Brit.

I don't know why the United States has decided that cunt is such a horrible word while having absolutely zero issue with the word pussy. I can say pussy all day. I can call men pussies, I can call women pussies, I can call children and animals pussies; No one bats an eye. I call a man a silly cunt and everyone loses their minds. It's ridiculous.

My twitter account was limited earlier for calling Piers Morgan, a British man, a cunt. In his own tongue that's barely offensive. Meanwhile, users call me every slur there is and constantly bombard me with obscene photographs of black people and terrorism victims with impunity. If the word cunt is more offensive to you than the word nigger or a picture of a woman that was torn in half by a truck driven by a terrorist then, guess what?

You're a dumb cunt.

I'm going to continue to use the word cunt liberally. It's a good, strong word with a myriad of uses. It's not just convenient to use but also fun to say! Cunt just rolls off of the tongue.

Giggity.

Thanks for reading and have a fantastic Sunday, you wonderful, wonderful cunts!
