Fascists always incude left wing policies to try to appeal to the "working man".

There's a reason the Nazis included "socialist" in their name. It's not because they give a crap about the plebs.

  • Briefly. It’s important to remember that nearly all of those people ended up significantly worse off in the longer term.

    • Well let's be clear, the Nazis did care about making life better for workers - if those workers were "pure-blood" white male german workers. It's sometimes pointed to by apologists to claim they weren't all bad, that they helped the little guy. But they ignore that everybody else got killed or oppressed. Even women had their hard-won civil rights revoked.

      It's important we talk about these things with detail. Quite a large portion of the US wouldn't mind living in a white patriarchal society. We need to remind people what kinds of people make those societies, and what happens in them, lest they be repeated.
