"Oh, gee. That makes a big difference. He only joined and came to lead a party called National Socialist. " It does make a big difference. He initially joined, not so much because of the socialism which he didn't believe in, but because they were big on Germany losing in WWI because they were betrayed, which he certainly believed in. And the major betrayers were the Jews. "Why the need to defend socialism?" Not defending socialism. I am arguing against the rewriting of history to make the Nazis socialists. They weren't. When you start rewriting history to make political points, then you lose whatever lessons it might hold. And Hitler's rise to power holds some very important lessons that should not be forgotten. "Even going to the length of slamming Christianity to insult the religion of people who call Nazism a form of socialism?" There you go, just making shit up. I wasn't slamming Christianity. I was just pointing out that if you want to claim the Nazis were socialist based on a few speeches by Hitler, then you have to accept him as a Christian because he talked about his Christianity almost as much. For what it is worth, I don't think he was a Christian, although he was raised that way. He did believe in some form of deity and that he was chosen for a special destiny. As were the German people.
