    By still laboring under the delusion that lying about having socialist ideas in order to gain power for the purpose of slaughtering socialists somehow makes them socialist.

      Ok, point taken, I thought it was abundantly clear that I equated the abuse of socialist ideas as the only common factor in the ideology of Hitler and Stalin. I didn’t think it was possible to misconstrue

      But like many oppressive figures, he only liked the idea of socialism because it traps your underlings into dependency which makes them easier to control under a tyrannical rule.

      as calling the Nazis “socialists”. I guess, I was wrong about that.

      Now explain to me how Stalin was “not too far off from a Nazi”?
