OK well compare that to the anti-semitism anti-capitalism of the OWS movement. I rest my case.

Yes because ANOK was trying to derail the discussion into a debate about socialism as he has done many times before, and though I would enjoy to debate him on the subject he is such an avid socialist that there would be no point arguing with him. He is set in his views and I am set in mine.

No, Hitler was not a Socialist. With all due respect, you need to do some research on the "political compass". Hitler was a far right extremist authoritarian who created a "blood religion" called Nazism.
(1) To win the masses for a national resurrection, no socialsacrifice is too great.
Whatever economic concessions are made to our working classtoday, they stand in no proportion to the gain for the entire nation ifthey help to give the broad masses back to their nation. Only pigheadedshort-sightedness, such as is often unfortunately found in our employercircles, can fail to recognize that in the long run there can be no economicupswing for them and hence no economic profit, unless the inner nationalsolidarity of our people is restored.
If during the War the German unions had ruthlessly guarded theinterests of the working class, if even during the War they had struck athousand times over and forced approval of the demands of the workers theyrepresented on the dividend-hungry employers of those days; but if in mattersof national defense they had avowed their Germanism with the same fanaticism;and if with equal ruthlessness they had given to the fatherland that whichis the fatherland's, the War would not have been lost. And how trifiingall economic concessions, even the greatest, would have been, compared tothe immense importance of winning the War!
Thus a movement which plans to give the German worker back tothe German people must clearly realize that in this question economic sacrificesare of no importance whatever as long as the preservation and independenceof the national economy are not threatened by them.
(2) The national education of the broad masses can only takeplace indirectly through a social uplift, since thus exclusively can thosegeneral economic premises be created which permit the individual to partakeof the cultural goods of the nation.

In reality, however, it consistently gets ratings that are better than CNN and MSNBC combined. They must be doing something right - and they certainly appeal to a very broad audience.
This poster advertises the Nazi charity, the NSV. The text translates: “Health, child protection, fighting poverty, aiding travellers, community, helping mothers: These are the tasks of the National Socialist People’s Charity. Become a member!” Courtesy of Dr. Robert D. Brooks.
This poster is for the 5 March 1933 Reichstag election. The top text: “Bill for the Social Democratic Party (SPD), presented by the starving German people.” It lists the alleged sins of the Socialists, and concludes: “German people! That is fourteen years of serfdom. Never forget it! Now you must demand payment. You will receive that payment if you vote for Adolf Hitler.”

The problem isnt Capitalism. The problem is the United States no longer uses true Capitalism. Laws are created to protect the super rich billionaires (Obama care is an example). The corruption, greed and sell outs are the problem. Occupy needs to be protesting the banks that were bailed out by the very same people they turned around and threw out of their homes. Occupy needs to be talking about the Federal Reserve and its inability to understand that it isnt supposed to exist. Occupy has no leadership. Occupy is, for lack of a better term, retarded.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (pronounced [ˈpruːd ɒn] in BrE, [pʁu dɔ̃] in French) (15 January, 1809 – 19 January, 1865) was a French economist and socialist philosopher who was the first individual to call himself an "anarchist" and is considered among the first anarchist thinkers. Proudhon is most famous for his assertion of "Property is theft!", in his missive What is Property? Or, an Inquiry into the Principle of Right of Government with the original title: Qu'est-ce que la propriété? Recherche sur le principe du droit et du gouvernement, which was his first major work, published in 1840...
...In his earliest works, Proudhon analyzed the nature and problems of the capitalist economy. While deeply critical of capitalism, he also objected to contemporary socialists who idolized association. In series of commentaries, from What is Property? (1840) through the posthumously-published Théorie de la propriété (Theory of Property, 1863-64), he declared that "property is theft", "property is impossible", "property is despotism" and "property is freedom". The apparent contradiction is resolved when it is realized that, in "property is theft", he was using the word to mean the type of property which created exploitative conditions. Specifically, he was referring to the means of production which labourers did not own themselves, and the system of wage labour...
...On the other hand, in asserting that property is essential for liberty, he was referring not only to the product of an individual's labor, but to the peasant or artisans home and tools of his trade. For Proudhon, the only legitimate source of property is labor. What one produces is his property and anything beyond that is not. He can be considered a libertarian socialist, since he advocated worker self-management and argued against capitalist ownership of the means of production.
Women
The Socialist Party is a socialist feminist organization that recognizes that a struggle against habitual male dominance and patriarchy must go hand in hand with any struggle against capitalism.
We demand full support for every woman's right to choose when, if, and how to have children, including the right to free abortion on demand at any stage of pregnancy, without interference or coercion. Clinics providing abortion services must have the full protection of the law.
We call for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and all other legislation that limits access to abortion services, thus denying "the right to choose" to millions of women, particularly low-income women, women of color, and young women. We demand full reproductive freedom for all women by removing all discriminating barriers to reproductive rights and reproductive health care.
We call for the abolition of parent consent and notification laws for reproductive health services, including abortion.
We call for the right to comprehensive sex education in school that includes birth control methods, STD protection, and information about being GLBTQ.
We call for the lowering of the voting age to 15
We oppose age-based curfew laws.
We call for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank-East Jerusalem and Gaza, and an end to all U.S. aid to Israel, as a precondition for peace.
We support an immediate cutoff of all U.S. military aid to Colombia, and all other recipients.
We call for the abolition of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and all other institutions of covert warfare.
We stand for unconditional disarmament by the United States.
We call for the U.S. to pay off its debts to the United Nations, an end to veto power in the UN, and an end to permanent membership on the UN Security Council.
We support the right of soldiers to form unions to represent their views and interests.
Anti-semitism is plentiful in the OWS movement and right here on ATS as well.
