For the next idiot to claim Nazis were Socialists

"Hurr durr Nazis had socialist in the name so they were socialists":

[quote]The Economist magazine introduced the term "privatization" (alternatively "privatisation" or "reprivatization" after the German "Reprivatisierung") during the 1930s when it covered Nazi Germany's economic policy.

Btw - buffalo wings are made of buffaloes and sea lions are really feline lions. Nor are sea horses actually horses.

We would eventally get the same kind of result if Bernie Sanders "reformed" our economy. He would start out trying to do the right thing and it would spin out of control until a guy like Stalin or Hitler took over. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

I hope you;re not trying to say Hitler had "the right thing" in mind. Did you ever even HEAR of MEIN KAMP, much less read it? Every evil thing Hitler did is openly laid out in that book. The Weimar Republic's economic collapse was caused by a combination of the economic collapse of the entire Western World's economy and the impossible reparations levied against Germany by the European powers after WWI. And I wouldn;t worry about Bernie -- we already have Trump claiming to be above the law and declaring America should have a "president for life", that libel and freedom of speech laws should be changed to stop criticism of his actions, etc.

@irishmolly72 Lol what Bernie wants isn't even socialism, it's social democracy as it's practiced in Norway and Sweden. The US has Social Democratic policies right now, otherwise there wouldn't be Social Security.

@basilfawlty89 Or public schools, or unions, or FEMA, or public libraries, or public roads, etc., etc., etc. Pretty much everything that has made America great has been called socialist when it was first introduced.
