When people say that Trump is a Nazi, they mean in the fascist "enemy from within" type of way. As in they're using Nazi as a drop-in for fascist because Nazi Germany was the most popular fascist nation that everyone knows.
They probably shouldn't do that and should just say fascist.
- lazyeye 1y agoYes I guess nazis were the "most popular fascist nation". Interestingly there were alot of themes in nazi ideology that could almost be considered left-wing. They believed in the dignity of the German working class man for example and that the Jewish people represented big business and were a corruption on society etc.

- lazyeye 1y agoYep exactly, whatever....

- lazyeye 1y agoSo both different forms of socialism then....

- shadowgovt 1y agoWhat, salmon and rat poison?
