Idiots says the darnedest things

So i was in this heated debate with a skinhead neo nazi at a concert in Borås, Sweden. We were discussing the nazi ideology and i tried to explain to him what it was about. The guy had no clue at all and finally i got frustrated and asked:
-Have you even read Mein Kampf?
-I dont read your fucking communist literature.

True story.

Discussing National Socialism in relation to contemporary poltical or philosophical movements is hopeless. It's one eternal "guilt by association" game, since obviously no one wants to be mentioned next to such a murderous regime. Thus, questions like "Was Hitler a Christian?", "Were the Nazis liberals?" and so on are best left ignored.

That said, there's no denying that both National Socialism and Fascism (which contrary to popular belief are not quite the same) originated in the socialist workers' movement. However, this connection should not be exaggerated since both ideologies would later turn less and less socialist. And of course both Hitler and Mussolini hated communism more than anything else.
