Why Does Poilievre Keep Saying the Nazis Were Socialists?

[kbal@fedia.io]

Claiming that the Nazis were socialists is something that historically only the Nazis have done, so it's not exactly reassuring to see Poilievre do it while we wait to see just how fascist he turns out to be when he ends up prime minister.

At best, maybe he's just trolling.

how much action do you think the Canadian Action Party got?

you know what i mean

[kichae@lemmy.ca]

Ignoring how wrong he is on that point…

Why is he even bringing it up? Like, ok, what if the Nazis were socialists? What does that have to do with him, and his position, right now? How is this in any way relevant to Canada, federally, today?

Like, it’s really weird that he’s talking about this. We should be highlighting out weird it is.

They might not have been text book socialist but if you were of "proper stock" you definitely benefited from some socialists policies.

Thinking kinda like white USian people prior to civil rights movement... must have been nice getting all that subsidized housing and infrastructure to build your suburban WHITE utopia!

My leige. I had no idea such royalty would be scrolling the hellish depths of lmy of all places.

Fellow below got down votes for saying it, but it’s because they called themselves that.

Just like how Trump currently accuses mainstream media of lying non-stop. Like he accused the Democrats of trying to steal the election. Both things that he does/did, and that the people who he accused of doing it did not do. See how easy it is to muddy the water?

It’s the same reason every draconian handmaid’s tale esque bill is called “the helping mothers” bill or every anti-workers bill “the great perfect bill to help workers” bill. (Right to work!)

It’s a load of crap. Listen to what people tell you. Then compare it to what they actually do. Or if you are too lazy even to do that, just ignore what anyone says and only look at what they do. That’s who they are.

Watch what Pollieve does. Look at what he has already done. That’s it. That’s who he is. It’s a little cheat code you can use.

“Antisemitism is the socialism of fools”

Poilievre, it seems, is a fool.

[n3m37h@sh.itjust.works]

Just like America democracy where the person who got less overall votes wins

Democratic Republic of Korea a.k.a. North Korea

Ha.

No, he’s not trolling, he’s just a fuckhead

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

They claimed to be socialists because that was in vogue at the time, and there were some actual (confused) socialists among their ranks…until the night of the long knives.

[forrgott@lemm.ee]

Pretty sure a dumbass believes whatever he’s told. Like the guy stating the name of the party in response to this particular post.

Or everyone who thinks you’re a god damn idiot is the dumbass. Sure.

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

Because he is a liar.

This is the answer to every question about him that starts with “Why does he…”

[n3m37h@sh.itjust.works]

The fuck are you on about?

Seriously your reply makes 0 sense. So many assumptions.

Fuck you’re a dumbass
