    Correction on my now-deleted tweet about Nazism: It was not a left-wing movement. It began as the National Socialist German Workers Party to garner labor support but Hitler murdered the leftists & moved rightward. But it was also anti-Capitalist & Hitler hated bourgeois elites.

        Right. Italian fascism started as a left wing anarcho-syndicalism movement (as the young Mussolini was, before he became a nationalist). Hitler never started this way.

        Mussolini was the editor for the most successful mainstream socialist newspaper ("l'avanti") of his times. Interesting you call that anarcho syndacalism.

        Somebody read a high school history book to you, did they? I notice no apology for indulging in grubby myth-making here. Particularly disappointing for someone who once wrote so brilliantly about Holocaust denial and abuse of history. Just how far over that shark DID you jump?
