I hate that all the bluster about "socialist or non socialist" doesn't bring up the evidence for each side.
It's very much a "it started socialist but they were used and quickly purged from the party" situation.

- Anthony-G 2y agoThat’s some good propaganda! As much as I disagree with him and his views, Goebbels sure was a skilled polemicist. The German Propaganda Archive is an excellent historical resource that I wasn’t aware of until now. Thanks for the link!
