Yesterday's Nazis and today's national socialist left
By Richard Rail

The word "Nazi" keeps coming up, mostly from the Alt-Left but occasionally from the Alt-Right as the two verbally smear each other in hopes that something ugly will stick.  The back-and-forth use of the term warrants clarification: which is right, or at least more right than the other?  Is either really Nazi, or is this all just a nasty name game?  And finally, does it matter?

Perhaps the best primer on Nazism remains Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, through which one can conclude how, astonishingly, the American left has followed in the Third Reich's footsteps, dragging America in its wake.  This is authoritatively put into perspective by Allen Bloom in his 1987 The Closing of the American Mind.

WHY is anyone surprised by this? The Nazi's IDENTIFIED themselves as "National Socialists",and they were allies with the USSR right up to the moment they invaded the USSR. THAT was the instant that "National Socialism" became a "Right Wing political movement". One minute BEFORE the invasion,and they were just peachy-keen with the left. One minute AFTER invading the USSR,they were "monsters".

You ain't gotta be a rocket scientist to figure this crap out.
