    He’s probably one of those people who think the nazis were socialists because nazi is short for “national socialist”.

      Probably, despite the fact that Hitler himself said they weren’t socialists.

      While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.

        Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

        Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.

          It is a contradiction, though.

          “Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”

          “The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”

      Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the ‘right’ side of history every time
