Right wingers love to tell you that Nazi is short for "national socialism." But sometimes names can be misleading.
Is a sea horse an equine? NO!
is a cat fish a feline? NO!
Is a deviled egg satanic? NO!
Sometimes names can be misleading, so the smart thing to do is look at [i]behaviors[/i] and not try to learn everything from a name.
In Germany in the 1930s,
the Nazis bitterly opposed the Social Democrats;
the Nazis bitterly opposed the Socialists;
the Nazis bitterly opposed the Trade Unionists;
and the Nazis bitterly opposed the Communists.
When I say "bitterly opposed" it means the Nazis sent brownshirt thugs to disrupt rallies and fight in the streets against their political opponents. The Nazis were a reactionary party reacting against the left wing in Germany at the time. The Nazis built their platform on racism, nationalism, and fear of the foreign.
The Nazis, like you, @checkoutanytime, were anti- leftwing.
