Absolutely correct, if you have a right/left clock Hitler stays at 11:59 and Stalin at 00:01, they are the same. National SOCIALIST Party...hello?
Just in modern times being National means right-wing. But with that logic the CCP must be pretty right-wing.
- czzr 5y agoThe “socialist” in the name was a bit of marketing - unless you also think the “peoples republic of North Korea” is in fact a republic.
- UncleMeat 5y agoThe Nazis murdered all of the leftists in their party. Using the word "socialist" in the name as a marketing tool does not make them leftist in any sense at all.
- nix23 5y ago>if you have a right/left clock Hitler stays at 11:59 and Stalin at 00:01 Stalin is so "left" that he's touches shoulder with extreme "right". Stalin and Hitler where so extreme that you cannot talk about right or left (hence the 2 minute difference)

- UncleMeat 5y agoHaving a wiki page is not usually a good proxy for academic consensus, especially for a controversial topic and especially when "Criticism" is a big chunk of the article. My "proof" is the fact that every academic I know in history, sociology, and political science laughs whenever the topic is brought up. This is across institutions.
