Wow, I wonder why there’s so much resistance to the concept of combining nationalism and socialism? It’s not like this idea has been tried before.
ib4 “nazis weren’t socialist”: yes, of course. They adapted a lot of their language and imagery in the beginning from “social patriotism”. Blind nationalism is toxic, especially blind nationalism for a country literally founded on human slavery.
You don't know how many boomers I've argued with that wholly believe the nazis were socialists.
It’s exhausting and comes from lead paint fueled brain worms.
They just cannot understand how the fascists co-opted socialism for their own gain. They think that because it's in the name, national socialism it has to be socialist. :wall-talk:
