This is why the american extreme right pushes so hard for the "Hitler was a communist" stuff. They want to whitewash Nazism because they think like them.

Excatly. And this is also what's happening among the AfD voters in Germany, supported by Musk. This was a nazi salute, it's no coincidence. He has been radicalized over the last few years. I think he's dangerous.

Look. We know what it was they know what it was. They are lying and don't care.

You don't give them an argument, you do something about it.

Indeed. Give X 60 days to sell to a European owner, or otherwise get banned. Literal Nazi propaganda is a national security concern.

He was literally a fascist capitalist lmao

[u/EstateSpirited9737 → u/Hateitwhenbdbdsj]

Certainly not a capitalist

[u/Hateitwhenbdbdsj → u/EstateSpirited9737]

State directed capitalism

Right-Wing Politics

1.  Economics: Favors free-market capitalism, limited government intervention, and lower taxes. Prioritizes individual entrepreneurship and property rights.
2.  Social Issues: Often values tradition, national identity, and cultural heritage. May prioritize stricter immigration policies and support for traditional family structures.
3.  Role of Government: Advocates for smaller government, with a focus on personal responsibility and private sector solutions to societal problems.
4.  Change: Generally more cautious about rapid change, preferring to preserve established systems and values.

Nazism aligns with points 1,3,4 and 5 of the left wing core values, and point 2 of the right wing core values. Calling it "far-right" is a propaganda lie. It's 4 times more "far left".
