The short answer, is because we didn't have them all shot.

That is a very good answer as well.

Wow, a self-proclaimed SJW agreeing with such measures for people whose views she finds abhorrent.

I must say I am little surprised.

Hey man theirs people in Russia who think that Stalin was a great guy, people cling to whatever they can to go through in life.

Very small groups of idealogical idiots. It is semantics. It's like saying the cult of Aten still exists. Maybe in name but not in reality.

I think that is the only subject and time I would agree with that type of statement. Why surprised?

SJW does not equal My Pretty Pony toy.

Not true. I don;t know what the cult of aten is. I know there are many, many nazi focused groups in the US and in Europe.

It's safe to say everything preferred is that way because of the same reason other people prefer other things. If you haven't figured it out it's your problem, why should I tell you when me knowing and you not knowing gives me an advantage?

"You're okay for an SJW"

Good grief lol

Fascism...not Nazism. Never mind. Carry on being lazy if you like. But the next time a Nazi rises to power let us all know, we will be more interested in stopping the fascists.

Because that is the point of the OP. He asked why. Others gave their opinions on why.

The answer is not preference , like preferring chocolate ice cream to cherry.

"Nazi" or Nazism is a western meme. They called themselves National Socialists. Nationalistic fervor, socialist society.

The whole term was National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP).

Really misleading, just like the USSR called its state a "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" , and we claim we have Democracy, today.

Disingenuous, these terms mislead people to think they have say in their governments process and direction. You're included in the title, but really feed the rich from the sweat on your back.

I'm not being lazy. The people I talk about venerate Hitler and tattoo themselves with the Nazi symbol. It would be dishonest to just say 'fascists'.

It's not a meme. It may be a modern usage, but it is being used to encompass white supremacy movements. They like the label Nazi, often.

You see, fascism, where the corporations and the government are all mingled up into one element, is a method for controlling a populations people, and their pockets, with the same tool. If a government is the corporation which owns all the material wealth, and all the means of producing anything, then the people are beholden to them, and this means that the fascism can get away with anything it likes.

Is that anything like going around making state mandates of FREE corporate products like education,healthcare,money, and food etc.

The most dangerous thing about the Nazi party, was that it was founded on sleight of hand, lies within lies

You must be talking about social engineering.

And the last thought here is from FDR.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

As far as the question why is Nazism alive today...

"Ever wonder how German citizens in the 1930's allowed the rise of a brutal dictator and the emergence of a military dictatorship? Actually, you're watching it happen right now in the United States. This is exactly how it happened in Nazi Germany.

"The comparison is no longer metaphorical. It is literal. The U.S. government is following the recipe to the letter: The selling of fear to create a reaction where citizens demand greater 'security,' the centralization of power, the suspension of civil rights, the defiance of accepted international law, the control of the press through threats and propaganda, the excusing of war crimes committed by our own military leaders, the arrogance of believing the whole world should think, and act, and govern just like us. These are the ideas of madmen, and yet today, they are now official policy of the United States government."

I agree. Fascists do not need to be Nazi.

a reply to: reldra

Whatever. Carry on. The op was about Nazis. I suppose they still exist 'cos they wear black shirts and are fighting for the Germanic homeland, openly, in society.

Not some group of dickheads...no, that would mean losing an argument on the interwebz!!!

The skin heads aren't running things. The real Nazi like government is behind the scenes, promoting race hatred and religious persecution to justify waging aggressive war. Carrying that war out on a national scale, invading and destroying whole nations in the name of "Muslim Extremism", just like the Nazis once blamed the Jews for world conquest.

Slowly backs out the room...

a reply to: reldra

I concur, I can't figure out a good reason to share it either. Why don't you just go ask the government how to print money the right way while you're at it. Go ask kfc for their secret recipe too.
