So it turns out you are an idiot after all.
Say what you want about WBraun, but a poor judge of character he is not.

Now can you substantiate your claim of the Nazi's being lefties?
I didn't say they were "lefties" per se ,I said they were socialists. The Nazi theory of government was substantially the same as the communist totalitarian regimes. Where they differed is in their view that societies are divided primarily along racial lines (nazi's) versus class lines. (communists). Beyond that distinction there was very little real difference.
In fact Hitler and Stalin mutually admired one another and sought to emulate one another's techniques.
The great social/political evil of modern times is social-engineering totalitarian government, in all its forms, and the insertion of government authority into more and more of people's lives with a concomitant loss of freedom and self-determination.
Whether this ugly system is perpetuated by sociopathic madmen like Hitler or Stalin or arrogant narcissistic western bureaucratic elitists who think they are smarter than everyone else ---is ultimately a distinction without a real difference.

rank militaristic corporatism sold down the pipe using the usual populist bigotry and victimhood that your red states wallow in. Get a grip. Or at least a book on the subject. Try starting with Wiki but the only source you're likely to find not identifying Nazism with right wing ideology would be Ann Coulture.
This is rank propaganda and updated 60s radical counterculture kitsch--- trying to sound like genuine historical knowledge and political analysis.
It's your typical boilerplate stuff there. Yawn.
I can see those comments making it into the Smithsonian one day as a pedestrian example of Baby boomer leftism representative of western liberalism at its last hurrah during the first two decades of the 21st century.
I've said this before: Western conservatives live with a fear that their social belief system is becoming passé . Western liberals have yet to discover their own belief system is likewise suffering the same fate.

I'm neither Republican nor Democrat but as Bill Maher is one of the standard bearers for the Dems his skewering, along with Alisyn Camerota and Don Lemon of CNN, by Reza Aslan seems to fit best here.
