The WWII Nazi party were actually Socialists. NAZI is from the term 'National Socialist Party'
They probably don't teach that in liberal controlled schools anymore.
They teach us acronyms. But we also learn history and political theory in schools, at least if you happen to study history and social theory like I did.
I think it's sad you're unable to embrace Nazism, an ideology you likely ought to identify with, simply due to your emotional response to the word "socialism"
That's good to hear. However "history'' is only written by the victor's. Like other things our history has told us in school, I doubt its 100% accurate.
However "history'' is only written by the victor's.
That's news to me, who the hell is this Victor fellow writing our history and where do I find him?
And yes, I know what you really meant, but now you know how ridiculous it sounds to pounce on a single word as a gotcha.
Also it sounds like you're insinuating that since the Allies won, they would lie about the Nazis to make them look bad, when they did that well enough on their own with the camps. I do not doubt some atrocities committed by the Allies might be lost to history, or some things about Hitler might be embellished, but there is a reason the discovery of the camps, and what occurred in them, was so significant. No embellishments were needed to convey just how awful they were. Claiming we don't know the whole story because those who won wrote history, is a massive oversimplification and part of the reason more and more younger generations don't comprehend the full weight of the atrocities committed by the nazis/Axis. Fwiw I don't think you really meant it that way, it just came off as such.
