Black People Learning The TRUTH about if Was Hitler Far-right or Far-left?

Hitler was a classic narcist. He only wanted power for himself, and would do ANYTHING to get it. With that in mind, he used the idea of socialism to appeal to the masses. In socialism, the government runs EVERYTHING, which I see as Left. Right wing is minimal government intervention in the economy and the population's everyday lives, but if you notice, often dictatorships are called right wing, even though they allow little freedom. For me, the labels of Left and Right don't make much sense. In the traditional sense, far Left and far Right both have a lot of government control. What makes sense to me is freedom verses oppression. Tyrants like Hitler work by dividing people into groups, and blaming all of the misery on minority groups. With Hitler, he blamed the Jews for all of the misery that Germany had experienced. He also said that Germany needed to take over Eastern European nations because these people were not fit to rule themselves. He considered them "sub-human".

[@alihenderson5910]

Everything you said about Hitler applies to the left today.

[@kaymx7156]

that is true, they are confusing terms sometimes being intertwined. Still, far right (capitalism) controls the government indirectly due to influence of rich corporate businesses. They work against society towards making themselves even richer. This makes them conservatives, and historically and definitionally conservatism is a far-right aspect and a big factor to an enormous demography of far right-ers. This meaning working class or even some of the upper class people (accounts to literally the majority of worldwide poplation) THINK they benefit from conservatism but in reality it's all fake propaganda and lies about the "wonders" of neocapitalism, slowly killing the working class.

Wow. Be careful there: You can learn how it was possible for him to get to power and what the societal implications were that he instrumentalized. Politicians will use similar tools as he did for their opportunistic self serving agendas. There is a lot to learn from history in order to not repeat mistakes.

[@markwilliams1481]

National Socialist German Workers' Party is the translation to English. In German the abbreviation for it was NAZI, much like the GOP = Grand Old Party. Giovanni Gentile was the first to write down the idea of Fascism/National Socialism. Mussolini was the first to implement it. Gentile and other early Fascists could see the flaws in Socialism. I've also noted that antisemitism seems to go hand in hand with anti capitalism. Jews succeed in free systems/markets. The Left HATES it.

[@mollyfriedman2013]

Jews have been targeted as both capitalists and socialists. Antisemitism morphs to whatever society at the time dislikes. Jews are a minority and often successful making them an easy target when needing a group to blame. It’s just classic anti-semitism. You see it today with claims of white colonialism, apartheid, genocide, blood libels of children killing etc. It’s all rubbish and just classic Jew hatred in modern form.

I think Hitler was a monster and coward! However, I think the Lady is right in her assessment sir. You can learn something from everyone. Just because I oppose him and everything he stood for with every fiber in my body doesn’t mean that I can’t learn from him boss. Like for instance, of course he’s a dictator and a psychopath but he was also at times a good strategic military mind in certain instances, just not overall. I don’t think his sole objective was to win the war, in fact I think he accomplished exactly what he wanted to and that was the near extinction of a particular population my brother. There were times he could have used the enslaved population as a workforce to move his military and ideas foward, instead he decided to use his military to torture and end those lives. So people can see it how they want to see it I’m just saying, if studied, you can see that he was very tactful and very successful in the sense that he managed to inflict the damage that he intended. And yes I do believe he should burn in hell for eternity for it!

[@AnyaMidkiff]

Yep, National Socialist Party. And the spectrum of govt, until they started redefining everything in 2016, went from the least govt on the right (anarchy) to the most (socialism to communism to dictator/ fascist) on the left.

[@bobprivate8575]

There's another consideration that drives the confusion, as well as the redefining of terms. Until recently (you say 2016, I would've placed it about a decade earlier) the US had one definition of "left" and "right" while in European politics they had different definitions. Those formerly different definitions, have been merging and blurring. The European definition, goes back to the French Revolution. Where the aristocracy and clergy were on the right of the aisle, and the liberal democrats on the left. This is where "right equals authoritarianism" comes from, which makes zero sense to the classic US definitions. You already covered the classic US definition, but I would've phrased it right = power belongs at the state level, left = power belongs at the national level. So, if you try to classify 1930s-40s Germany, it was authoritarian so "Right" under classic European definition, but also with a very strong central government so "Left" under classic US definition. In short, you can call that party either "far left" or "far right" and be correct, depending on which definition you're using. Much of the confusion comes from trying to wrongly apply these definitions. The US has never had a ruling aristocracy or clergy, so trying to apply the European definition in the US is nonsensical. Likewise, most European countries are not a Federal system, so trying to apply the US definition to them is equally nonsensical.

[@AnyaMidkiff]

@bobprivate8575 Again, the spectrum doesn't change, only where you place a specific ideology, during a specific time and specific place, on that spectrum. See, without that simple scale, the question then becomes: what made the French revolutionary aristocrats and clergy "on the right"? They were certainly doing their best to keep an iron fist on the peasants, aka more control. This is why the redefiniton and obfuscation of simple tenets is good at sowing confusion and division: without basic units of measure, anything can be placed anywhere, and nobody can discuss it simply. The more convoluted it gets, the easier it is to keep people distracted from a real, common enemy: the authoritarians.

[@jeffanderson8165]

@@bobprivate8575 A good debate for both of you; you've definitely earned the "Thumbs up" from me. With respect to the European definition of political Left/Right, while it does make sense, I suspect the reason behind Dennis Praeger being asked the question of whether Hitler was on the Left or Right is meant with the United States experiences; notably how frequently many on the Left are making constant accusations that former President (and current presidential candidate) Trump is a new Hitler.

[@bobprivate8575]

@@jeffanderson8165 I'm not sure, but I think it's a combination of factors. One, just plain FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). If you can get the voting public to feel any of those three about your rival, they'll be more likely to vote for you. Two, it may be projection- at least from some of the people (I'm not claiming EVERYONE on the left has an authoritarian streak, but I have no doubts at least SOME do). Three, they may be following Alinsky's playbook: accuse the other side of what you're about to do, before you do it. Again, not all may be familiar but definitely Hillary Rodham Clinton would be, she wrote her senior thesis on him and corresponded with him. There's enough self-proclaimed socialists (Sanders) or "Democratic Socialists" (AOC) in the party to make it plausible. re: "Democratic Socialists" - that's what the Bolsheviks called themselves. The USSR had "elections" and so does the CCP so slapping the word "Democratic" before "Socialist" doesn't fill me with confidence.

Does it matter?

[@jillk368]

This is interesting. While I agree that racism and antisemitism have become prevailing ideologies of the far left, the comment that "suddenly in the last 25 years race matters" is an odd comment to make when, for one race living in this country, race was the only thing that mattered for about 375 years. What he should be saying is that as this country finally emerged its mentality from the dark ages of racial divide (deriving primarily from the far right - - yes - - I know they used to be called democrats, but it's the same far right). This emergence, realistically, wasn't until about the late 80s/early 90s, that after just short break it started again, this time coming from the left - and with a level of antisemitism not seen for almost 100 years. It's become almost pathological.
