Nazis were Democratic Socialists. Just saying...

Hitler was a pure right wing reactionary. And not a single scholar disagrees. "Reactionaries" are extreme conservatives. The Nazi Party, especially once in power, followed suit precisely.

Umm.. No
Hitlers rise was due to the repression set up on Germany by the allies after World War I.
Hitler was not a conservative as used in the US.

Really? He represents the greedy people that want everything without working for it. As for hateful, again his followers are the most hateful on the campaign trail. Not to mention stupid, "Democratic Socialist" what's that?

Democratic socialist believes that economic decisions should be made by those whom they affect most.

the That sounds logical-especially since the people affected most are those paying the bills!

I agree that Hitler was a right wing extremist.

Nazism is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi state as well as other far-right groups. Usually characterized as a form of fascism that incorporates scientific racism and antisemitism, Nazism developed out of the influences of Pan-Germanism, the Völkisch German nationalist movement, and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged during the Weimar Republic after German defeat in World War I.

Isn't that the opposite of a socialist?

Socialism means equality in the society and democratic socialism means equality in a democratic state. The difference is significant.

Yea- isn't Karl Marks required in school anymore? I think I had to read him twice, once in high school & once in college.

A HEARTFELT MESSAGE TO All My Democrat Friends-----------------------

====Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
====I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2016, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other countries nor the only "America" in the Western Hemisphere.
====Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference.


To My Republican and Independent Friends----------------------------
Have a nice Memorial Day

Wait. Your "A HEARTFELT MESSAGE TO All My Democrat Friends" missed your attempt to be politically correct.

You have discriminated against those who cannot read. You should have posted that in an audio file. No, that would not work, that would discriminated against those who are hard of hearing. (Some would say i just was insensitive because I wrote 'hard of hearing' instead of 'hearing impaired.' But i injured my eardrum when i was younger, then hard scar tissue grew over it, so doesn't that mean my phrase is acceptable?)

So i guess you should have posted a video with someone doing sign language. Wait, i do not know sign language, and what if someone has poor vision and cannot see the video? (oops, i mean 'vision impaired')

I guess the only answer is to get the government involved to tell us how to post messages, and then to give us big fines if we do not dot every i and cross every t. Reminds me of the business that sold handicapped equipment, so they made all of their parking spaces wide for handicapped access. But they got sued because none of the spaces had a handicapped sign.

Democrats want to make government bigger.
Republicans say they want smaller government, but look how government has grown when the Republicans arein power.
I used to be a democrat, then i became a republican. now i consider myself a libertarian [but not off the deep end like some are). My political belief can be summed up simply: government is too big. (Before you write off libertarians as kooks, google John Stossel and listen to a few of his common-sense videos)

But now i am probably going to be monitored for my comments, by our big government.
