      Yep. Hitler also hated Christianity IIRC, but allied with the church for their financial aid and the support of religious voters. They definitely weren’t above using the name of something that they hated and actively attacked to allow them to grab more power, and it makes them neither socialist nor Christian to have done so.

        Seriously? They didn’t start street brawls with the church and kill them. They did that with socialists. There was no teaming up, there was no alliance, there was no marketing trick. You’re making up revisionist history and you seriously need to learn what happened and stop spreading misinformation.

          What the fuck are you on about? I never said that they started street brawls with the church. I agreed with you about them hating and attacking socialists, added that they only kept the name for the party because of the recognition factor/popularity of socialist policy at that time in Germany, and then said that if I remember correctly, Hitler made agreements with the church for funding and support despite his personal feelings on the matter. Nowhere did I say the Nazis beat up Christians or members of the Church.

            Seriously? What the fuck are on about. I said they didn’t start street brawls with the church. Me. I said that. Ok? Me. Myself. Not you. Me. Got it? Me. Nor did I say or suggest that you said they started street brawls with the church.

            You were talking about an alliance with the church, you said that. You. Ok? You. You said that AFTER talking about the Nazis trying to market to socialists, as in: You are trying to make a parallel between an alliance with the church and marketing/aligning/something with the socialists, on a similar line as they did with the Church.

            AND I am the one say NO, they didn’t. I am the on saying the following: The Nazis didn’t start street brawls with the church. Notice that I am the one saying that. Me. Myself. Not you. Me. And I am the one saying: The Nazis DID start street brawls with the Socialists. And killed socialists. Because the hated socialists. This was WIDELY known, because it was literally in the streets with roving, essentially, gangs. They are not marketing to socialists, they are literally killing them openly, happy about it, and shouting it from the rooftops for everyone to hear.

            See the difference in how they treated the Church and how they treated the socialists? Said by me. Myself. Me. I said those two statements to contrast how they treated each of those groups differently. Ok? Me. I said that. Alliance with one, and killing the other. See how they treated each group? So your talk of alliances with the church to draw a parallel (yes) to marketing/aligning/something with the socialists is wrong, revisionist history, and frankly absurd.

            I’m bowing out of this conversation, I’m getting dumber with each reply to you. You seriously need to stop with revisionist history, this is right wing BS misinformation that you fell for.
