Another example of the right just making stuff up and then using their own made up facts as proof that they win the argument. The Nazis as leftists? "Look!", says Joe the Con, "they have the word socialist in their name! They must be the same as Bernie Sanders!" The most cursory knowledge of history leads one to realize how very absurd the premise is.

They are an example of the far right run a muck, much the same as Stalin was an example of the far left run a muck. They go so far right and left, respectively, that they wind up in almost the same place. Certainly in so far that they are forced to use violence to ensure their policies are followed as those policies are so bad for society.

Socialism is much worse than Nazi/KKK. If someone is not Satan, why would they name themselves Satan?

Frankly, if you dare to tell them they are not socialists , they would kill you!

Surely that proves your point.

Care to address the data?

The charts on the right show one specific data point: JFK’s televised civil rights speech of June 11, 1963. Among Southern whites, approval of JFK plummets right at that moment (top chart). And in the Gallup polls, racially conservative Southern whites leave the party in droves (bottom chart). This is not a steady decline. It’s a sharp, sudden exodus at a specific moment in time.


Why did the Democrats Lose the South? Bringing New Data to an Old Debate
Quote:
We find that except for issues involving racial integration and discrimination, whites in the South and elsewhere have indistinguishable preferences on both domestic and foreign policy in the 1950s….We find no evidence that white Southerners who have negative views of women, Catholics or Jews differentially leave the Democratic party in 1963; the exodus is specific to those who are racially conservative. Finally, we find no role for Southern economic development in explaining dealignment.

I don't understand where you're going with that. Stalin would kill you? He'd kill you for all kinds of other reasons too. But then so would Nazis. So what makes Socialism worse? Taken to the extreme both the left and right have proven themselves to be equally evil.

Yes, Stalin would kill you and his followers would kill you. You obviously don’t know Stalin. Public execution without trial were common in a socialist/communist country - I have been to some.

What makes it worse? Socialism has resulted more genocide and mass murders and deaths than any other ideology, in the 100 millions.

Socialism also exploits and promotes two most evil traits in human: jealousy and violence with impunity.

What else can be worse?

Actually, that's not true. In all, socialist/communist regimes murdered at least 100 million, mostly by democide (citizens/subjects murdered by their own government).

I think your number ignored the deaths caused by Nazis and fascists which were derivatives of communism and socialism.

No, you haven't. You allegedly escaped from one communist country, which you were unable to name. Now, you claim to have been to more? You're already lying about the lie you lied about.
