British Lawmaker: Hitler Was a Socialist 8 rtplanet No other subject seems to ruffle the feathers of the leftist elitist more than the fact that fascism and communism are really just two sides of the same collectivist coin. For many years, leftists have labeled national socialism, i.e. Nazism, as a rightwing ideology. The IJReview recently posted an article that included a video excerpt of a British Conservative Member of Parliament, Daniel Hannan, who argued Adolf Hitler was indeed a leftwing socialist. I chose to include the entire speech by Daniel Hannan. It’s well worth viewing. As usual, every time this subject comes up, there is always some leftwing pseudo-intellectual who wishes to twist and counter historical fact in favor of socialism—meaning: Marxian socialism good, national socialism bad. Well, I don’t care whether it’s Marxian socialism or national socialism; it’s all bad. For what it’s worth, below is my reply to a YouTube commenter ( MrReco12) who forwards the typical rubbish that socialism is wonderful and free enterprise is evil. This is hardly a comprehensive response. Obviously, there is much to be said on this topic concerning the different flavors of socialism. But, in the end, it’s all just ism. And it has nothing to do with freedom. Period. Well, let’s just start with the opening quote by Mr. Hannan, and quote it in full. “I am a Socialist, and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow…. What you understand by Socialism is nothing more than Marxism.” ~Adolf Hitler, spoken to Otto Strasser, Berlin, May 21, 1930 On Strasser: “We National Socialists are enemies, deadly enemies, of the present capitalist system with its exploitation of the economically weak … and we are resolved under all circumstances to destroy this system.” ~Gregor Strasser - See more at: therightplanet.com
