Read the Quote again!(I bet you agree with every word) ... Hitler is a socialist! You are speaking of the Left/Right political Paradigm in 20th Century Europe(not the same in North America).

" abysmal ignorance by trying to claim Hitler was a socialist no matter what he claimed. "

It is in fact you who is ignorant... as I've cleared the facts up for you. Furthermore... it is pretty haughty and arrogant of you to presume that YOU knew better than Hitler did... what political ideology he prescribed to.

John Snow... is that you?
