That's pretty far left. Don't forget that Hitler was a socialist in a socialist party. All he needed to be a full blown communist is another genocide.

You do know Hitler put socialists into the death camps along with the Poles, Roma and Jews, right?

You know Hitler had created a one party state where everyone who tried to create an opposition, left or right, could be arrested, right?

They even arrested kids who wanted to go camping (a pretty common nationalist activity at the time), look up the Edelweiss Pirates.

Doesn't make Hitler a socialist, or the Nazi party a socialist party. Hitler hated socialists and communists and trades unions. He had his goons murder thousands of them.

Once again, Hitler arresting and killing socialist doesn't in any way mean he wasn't a socialist.

The USSR also murdered thousands of socialists and communists and trades unionists. That doesn't make them any less communist.

You need to argue based on their policies not who they didn't like. People always hate their immediate neighbours more than those distant to them.

Hitler arresting and killing socialists means exactly that he wasn't a socialist. You are just talking rubbish.
