You know, like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or the Germans Democratic Republic, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the words above the Auschwitz gate "Arbeit Mach Frei".
* you may be thinking of the "Joy Division", who were young women held in concentration camps who were raped by the guards. |
Nazi? National Socialist.
I know what the joy division was, that isn’t what I meant. I know my WWII history.
I was referring to the state run Nazi leisure organisation Kraft Durch Freude

Ok I agree that the Nazis were a perversion, but they still embodied a position of socialism, far right, far left - I don’t care. Socialism of any form has failed time after time. Give me compassionate capitalism every time, with equality of opportunity.
And you were obviously wrong on the other point too.
