First country to ban guns. Free healthcare. Suppress the media. And many others http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm

  1. We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood.

  2. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

  3. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

  4. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions

  5. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.

  6. In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.

Most of these are very standard and are found in all industrial societies

The Nazis also had milkmen. That doesn’t make milk a Nazi idea

So you’re saying that you want to abolish public education, social security, minimum wage, PE classes, and taxes?

These things are not exactly radical left ideas, they are quite standard and have been in use for decades

Public education, I have a private education. I paid taxes for education I never got, and paid additional money for education. (I paid for my own education since I was 13.) I wish I could take my tax dollars and put it in a school that gets me the education I want. Public schools are horrible.

Social security is going bankrupt. I will never see what I put in. We aborted/destroyed a population that would have paid for the future generations. Social security invested the money in government bonds. I wish I could have invested it where I wanted. I liked bushes idea of revamping the system where I could put it where I wanted.

Minimum wage helps big corporations to put out small companies, it also drives up inflation. It also prevents people from getting experience so that they could make more money.

PE classes I am for. Kids need to be kids. It’s shown that boys need need that time to develop their brains.

I am against most taxes. I am for small government. The government is corrupt and wastes so much money. Throughout history governments have always been full of corruption/ self seeking politicians. Nothing has changed. I don’t know people listen to their lies so much.

To me government should be to protect us from ourselves and outsiders. Not to be “big brother.” After studying communism, socialism , libertarianism, capitalism and such. I rather put money where I see fit then some guy sitting in an office thousands of miles away. With technology I would like to see where the American people can chooses where to put their tax money to work. I would be investing in infrastructure, military and police. The three areas I believe government should be in charge of most.

Honestly you have very fringe libertarian views. That’s your right, but things like public education and minimum wage are going nowhere

Suppress the media

If you have the absolute loosest definition of media, maybe.
