'We Are Socialists'

“We are socialists.” So said Adolf Hitler.

The Left desperately tries to portray Hitler as some sort of “rightist,” mainly because he was so opposed to Soviet Bolshevism. But just as there are different manifestations of “right-wing” philosophies, there are different “left-wing” ideologies as well. And socialism is a leftist philosophy, not a “rightist” one. “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” was the official name of Hitler’s political party (“Nazi” comes from the German word “Nationalsozialistische,” national socialist). Hitler was a totalitarian leftist, not a Christian, right-wing, pro-American, freedom-loving conservative.

Here is Hitler’s full quote:

“We are socialists. We are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system, the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being, according to wealth and to property instead of responsibility and performance. And we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”

Find me one word in that statement that a member of the modern American Democratic Party would disagree with, except they wouldn’t like the words “responsibility” and “performance.” Those aren’t in any leftist dictionary.

The Left, the Democrats, are socialists. Not Donald Trump, who is probably as much of a capitalist as anyone in the country. But…the Left lies.

And, indeed, I recently published an article in which I demonstrated that lying was a major component of leftist ideology. Yes, they lie, obviously, all the time, but “propaganda” might be an even better word for what they try to spread. And that brings me to Adolf........
