“How, as a socialist, can you not be an anti-Semite?” Adolf Hitler asked his party members in 1920. No one thought it an odd question.

Short answer…you can’t.
The politics of envy, resentment, and hatred pretty much covers all variants of socialism. Hitler knew his audience. As they hollow-out Western civilization, the left inevitably uncovers the oldest hatred. Antisemitism is a feature of multiculturalism (the denial of rational judgement), not an aberration.

That pretty much covers every base Kate. Excellent post.
BUT BUT, post Nazi invasion of the USSR, and since the commies have insisted that Nazi’s are far right…..
They wouldn’t lie to us…..would they?????

A true irony of history that National Socialism was rebranded by the left as a right wing movement. Militarism automatically became a standard for conservative politics and not the left which has started far more wars. Hitler hated the communist almost as much as the Jews but in essence he copied much of the Soviet government tactics.
You bet your combat boots they would. They lie about everything else.
Actually CT, Hitler was a fan of Marx, and a good buddy of Stalin until they started a pissing contest over Poland
The evidence validating Jonah Golberg’s political theory on modern leftism just keeps mounting –
Progressivism-leftism-political correctness is a continuance of the solidarity tenets of prototype leftist movements (Fascism/Stalinism) – one of the requirements of partisan leftism is you must accept all the politically prescribed hatreds/bigotries/biases of the ideology – it is a philosophy based on hating the things its mentors and political leaders target – bourgeoisie, Zionism, Capitalism, private ownership, religion,western culture, inalienable morality – and modern variants
In modern leftism, just as in the early forms of leftism, hatred must be manipulated and focused on imaginary enemies to congeal the movement, distract attention from the inherent fallacy of the ideology, obscure the hypocrisy of its icons and to ensure continuity of purpose – Jews have always been a handy target for the radical political movements because they are, as a group, largely successful (industrious/resourceful) and in the left’s thinking, anything successful got that way by exploitation of the underachieving mediocrity class the left appeal to, and thus must have their success destroyed and plundered by the righteous hatred of the leftist front.
Today we have no real leftist necromancer like Lenin, or Guevara but we do have a collective leftist oligarchy in academia and the media leading the faithful in what their politically correct hatreds shall be – these days it is still Jewish success disguised as “Zionism” – the same craven anti-Semitism wrapped in “anti-Zionism” camouflage is a genetic hatred of the left that has existed since its roots.

I have never read that. The rally cry through the ’20’s within National Socialism was a anti communist one. The street fights were always with communists. German industrialist lent a sympathetic ear to Hitler because he was anti communist.
Where are you getting your info?
Oh Goawwd! It’s like anudda shoah!
We Whites in the West have the Jews to thank for so very, very much. Here’s a wonderful public service announcement detailing their monumental contributions! Enjoy!

Nazis and communists fighting is much like sunnites and Shiites fighting….just different flavours of the same thing.
Industrialists favoured Nazis because communists nationalized industry and shot the proprietors…..Nazis controlled industry but maintained a fiction of private ownership. One faction killed the goose while the other had it on a chain.

“……until they started a pissing contest over Poland….”
The pissing contest was over Bessarabia…..Romania….oil…..
They had no problem with carving up Poland….
Bingo! They had the same father, that being Karl Marx.
“”Bingo! They had the same father, that being Karl Marx.””
Marx, a Jew, and by Hitler,s own standard so was he himself
and sasquatch, you ignored the main thrust of my post, why?
