To me socialism of any flavor is a slow march to the killing fields. Perhaps Goebels opinion will get through to you:

...in a 1935 article published in the daily Völkischer Beobachter, the Nazi Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, described his party as ‘a party of revolutionary socialists’.

The only incompatible difference between the Nazis and the Communists, Goebels argued, was the supposed internationalism of the latter as compared to the fierce nationalism of the former....

lol this doesn't tell me anything that I don't already know. How is this suppose to "get through to me"? The whole point of communism is to destroy any sense of Identity like religion, nationality or tradition so the state becomes the replacement. Nationalism is suppose to reinforce those ideas. I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

Well I'm sure you don't. Nationalism is not the same thing as National Socialism.

Hermann Rauschning quoting Hitler :

The difference between them [marxists] and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order

Cliff Kincaid: Leftists find a socialist they don't like

In fact, however, Adolf Hitler's National Socialism was based on Marxism. "In public," notes George Watson, author of The Lost Literature of Socialism, "Hitler was always anti-Marxist...." However, Watson notes that Hitler privately "acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition" and stated explicitly that "I have learned a great deal from Marxism...." Watson cites the book Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant, by Otto Wagener, who was Hitler's economic advisor.
