This is a fascinating conversation to follow. The Nazi’s absolutely were not left nor socialist, but there might be a history class difference. American hatred of socialism is soo deep and history textbooks are so useless (since most are made in Texas and cater to those politics) I remember a HUGE emphasis on Nazi being National Socialist and another example of why socialism never worked. It starts early here man. I think we’re seeing a lot of the effects these days.
Wow, I have come across this inaccurate talking point from right-wingers on many occasions, but I never realized that Americans were being taught these lies in school. Well, we are really seeing the effects of all this propaganda now the fascists are in power.
It is especially bad in the deep-red states. The Tulsa race riots are still often lied about in Oklahoma depending on the school. Basically they said, “it worked on Native American history, so just do that for everything we don’t agree with.”
