Ah maybe I could've worded that better. I wasn't trying to say that the nazis were some strange breed of leftist. I was saying that a leftist government would allow different schools of thought to exist whether they're left wing or not, with the exception of nazism.
100% I got it! 🙂 I just feel the need to correct that whenever I see it because from time to time you see a maga who knows what nazi stands for, and likes to "remind" everyone that the nazis were "socialists", but they usually don't know or don't admit the rest.
(not that I thought you were doing so at all!)
Edit: LOL I actually didn't get it when I typed that, but I really do now, sorry for my comprehension issues!
It's all good lol. I've definitely come across the MAGA types that like to go on about how they were 'nationalist socialists', emphasis on the socialist part. But they were about as socialist as North Korea is democratic. So it's fair to make that assumption these days because we're living in times of idiocracy. So next time I make a comment like that I'll try to be clearer.
