Why do regressive leftists have a weird obsession with Nazism?

1. Who benefits most from being victims of the Nazis?
2. Who are the biggest backers of the leftist groups?

There's your answer.

Yeah Hitler loved socialism and communism so much that he killed the socialists and communists.

He killed the Marxists. There's a difference. Socialism dictates that a central government has fascist control over the elements of production, land, housing, etc and doles out the profits to the workers. Marxism is closer to anarchy, with no ruling central government existing outside of constant conflict to hold the position until the next uprising.

That have been covered many, many times in other threads.
Socialism is supposed to be about working for ourselves. Do you see people work for themselves in Nazi Germay? No it was all about the State and Hitler (Mussolini explained that).

You're wrong. Socialism is not about working for yourself, it is about a central government holding ALL of the cards while dictating who does what, who does nothing, and how much each person gets. Essentially Nazi Germany's domestic model.

Really?
so·cial·ism
noun
a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
synonyms: leftism, welfarism; More

Not surprisingly, Google has misused the definition of Democratic Socialism for the Socialism entry.
Let's try a source with credibility and integrity, shall we?
www.merriam-webster.com...

any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

LEL apparently you missed the word "leftism" as a part of the synonyms in my post.

Anyway who did the people work for in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy?

That said, only the Right has actual Nazi's among their ranks.

BULLSNIP! The Nazi Party was founded as a liberal, leftist party. Hitler railed against capitalism, embraced socialism, championed a government system by which the government WAS the people and was massive, they nationalized their manufacturing sector, pushed HUGE social welfare programs funded by "division of profits," federally disarmed their people, ran huge deficits to pay for social programs, had laws that protected animals from abuse while embracing the dehumaization of people, to portray them as even Right leaning is a bastardization of history and a lie.
en.wikipedia.org...
Look at the 25 points and tell me these are conservative or right leaning for that era. The primary difference between the left and the positions of Nazi Germany is found in a shift from nationalism towards globalism. If you remove the nationalist propaganda from Hitler's platform and replace it with the modern left's "we are citizens of the globe" BS, you'd have a platform which could easily win a DNC nomination for POTUS in today's USA. Points 8 through 22 and Point 25 could have been directly cited by Bernie Sanders last election and nobody would have thought him to be in any way off kilter to his embraced positions.

The SOLE connection to Nazi Germany and modern conservative politics is found in the aspects of nationalism and national protectionism.

This right here.....truth

Guess you have never known any real neo-nazis?

Maybe you should try befriending some and get the info straight from them.

Remember when the American Nazi Party endorsed Obama over McCain? Pepridge farms remembers.

Seriously though, Nazism is used as a cudgel with which smear our opponents.

This guy?

Either Pepridge Farms' memory is slipping, someone forgot to tell ANP or one of the two statements was less than honest.

ANP linky

Our society is shockingly degenerate and corrupt. It is in a downward spiral. Obama is the most visible example.

Hmmm there was a video showing Hillary Clinton and her husband screwing over the Black Community:

6 years later. I guess he finally changed his mind.

Who is he?

You said ANP in your post.

a reply to: starwarsisreal

My only point is that guilt by association is a horrendous appeal to emotions. It is very irrational to try and pin someone to nazism or the KKK because they happen to like one candidate over the other. The same goes with all people.

I forget. He was the chairman or prominent member. It doesn't matter either way. These types of fallacies are hateful.

a reply to: starwarsisreal

Two reasons:

1. Hitler rose to power by using scapegoating

2. And this quote: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." Benito Mussolini

The corporations have never been more powerful. Wealth inequality in this country is at all time highs. People in this country are lot like the German people in 1930s. People are angry and they want solutions in their lives. It seems like everyone hates Congress and democracy is on the way out.

What do you call it when government doesn't have any cards and the corporations have ALL the power?
