Do right-wingers actually think Hitler and the Nazis were socialists because “socialist” is in the name?

Do they know why the Nazis called their party “socialist”?

If a name is synonymous with ideology, then that must mean Antifa really is antifascist and anyone who opposes them is a fascist. I’m sure these same people would agree with that, no?

@Reason10 says [quote] MOdern day liberalism IS NAZISM. Period. [/quote] DUUUDE!!! You don't know much about Nazis, do you? Allow me to educate you just a tiny tiny bit!!

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.

@ElwoodBlues You have no education.
The HOLOCAUST came from Eugenics, the same junk science that founded Planned Parenthood.
Margaret Sanger (whom Hillary admired) was a racist, a Nazi and a monster.
THIS

is the root of the movement that exterminated six million JEWS.
THIS is the connection between the Democrats and the NAzis.

Same ideology, same tactics.

Brownshirts fighting in the streets?
You mean like this?

Those animals are YOUR left wing side of the aisle. They are the modern day Hitler Youth.

Seig Heil, you fascist creep.

(1) That's the genetic fallacy. Just because William Shockley was a terrible racist, it doesn't mean the transistor is a bad idea.

(2) Those aren't democrats; in fact democrats have been repudiating them from the get-go.
