Anyone who calls Hitler a communist has no idea what theyāre talking about. Or they are hoping you donāt. Elon is stupid but heās not that stupid. I will have to look but I swear Iāve seen him quote this famous line which itself highlights how leftists were the principle enemy to the Nazis and the first ones jailed and killed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...

The Nazi's are socialists right? It's in the name. /s Blackshirts and Reds is a great book about the rise of Fascism, and how totally NOT communist the Nazi's were.

Right. I havenāt read it but Iāve seen a handful of excerpts and quotes and Iāve seen it summarized in a number of debates on this very subject. Plus I aced high school social studies, which, while full of propaganda, somehow still didnāt try to pull that particular blatant lie.

The word āfascistā was coined by Mussolini years after the Nazi party had formed. By then they had a brand name and stuck with it.

Right. Iāve also read that National Socialism was a ploy to parlay the popularity of socialist policies to populists. Back then using the name was effective but nowadays it would evoke fear in right wing populists even if they still long for socialist and syndicalist policies to this day.
