Which American political party more resembles the German NAZI party with state control of private property?
This is America’s Enemy Within
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
(1) To show why Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And (2) to show why socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.

Let’s examine what the Nazis did. The Nazis established a state church, the Protestant Reich Church. The Nazis put trade union leaders in concentration camps or murdered them outright. The Nazis put left-wing political leaders in concentration camps or murdered them outright.
Hitler convinced the right-wing parties in Germany’s Reichstag to vote for giving him dictatorial powers. Only the left-wing Social Democrats voted against him. The Communists had already been eliminated. The Social Democrats of course suffered for their vote.
The Nazis took the hatred of minorities to the ultimate extreme. They preached a doctrine of the superiority of the “Master Aryan” race. The Nazis opposed women’s rights. The Nazis glorified the military and undertook aggressive military actions by invading other countries which resulted in WW II.
The Nazis also favored the interests of big business, ruthlessly suppressed the rights of workers, and engaged in relentless anti-leftist, anti-pacifist, anti-minority propaganda. The Nazis were definitely right-wingers. That would put them closer to the Republican Party.

The GOP with their phony platforms and right wing extremism is by far the closest to the NAZI party.
Only in America does people exist which do not understand the fact that whether a party is all the way to the right or all the way to the left the amount of oppression is the same. Politics is like a swinging pendulum, not stuck but the best ideas from all aspects are employed to make a sane society.

Socialism isn't totalitarian.
Social Democrats (Socialists) were put in prison by Hitler. Fascism is a decidedly right-wing movement. It was Corporatist. It was ultra-socially-conservative. This however proves that having social programs that predate Hitler like Universal Health Care isn't anything but sound practice.
Germans of the NSD reacted against liberalism that evidenced itself in places like Berlin. Book burnings and persecution against Gays and intellectuals became the norm.

The Nazi Party was anti communist. The only private property that the Nazis controlled was that owned by Jewish groups. The way the Republicans are trying to take legitimate contracts away from ACORN, which happens to be mostly black, I'd say that the Republican Party more resembles the German NAZI party.

The GOP, hands down.
Both started wars on false pretenses (Poland, 1939 = Iraq, 2003)
Both were right-wing nutjobs
Both are fiercely nationalistic, but so extreme, to a comical degree.
Both hate leftists, liberals, socialists, homosexuals, and minorities.

Socialism is a loud but fringe segment of the left. That is why the actions of Congress this year have been so puzzling to me. They seem to be aligned with the fringe... Oh, wait... Nancy Pelosi is from San Francisco. That explains it. Harry Reid? He's just happy to be part of the fun. Obama and Pelosi run the radical liberal Saul Alinsky pony show.
Super (labor lapsus)
Japan is highly controlled by their government. The industry they don't own is tightly controlled, including management pay. Taxes are high and government sets all agendas. The only thing missing is a standing army. The people are cared for, but nothing even remotely resembling free.

The fact that both parties are controlled by the same powerful interests speaks to a new, even more sinister scenario than the Nazi's could have ever dreamed of.

Wow. I thought this crazy narrative died when every right-thinking person in the world loudly announced that it was not only wrong, but stupid. Seriously, only Lew Rockwell-type mouth breathers buy into this thing.
BTW, you just Godwin'd yourself.

The only reason the biased media painted Nazi's as far right was because they were anti-communist. But Nazi's have far more in common with the left than the small gov't right. Nazi's hated communists because they stood in the way of Hitler's world domination. Nazis were big central gov't, communal, hated the Jewish, were racist, pro-population control.....starting to sound familiar? They even named their party National SOCIALIST Party.....imagine a right wing group doing that?

Zzzz... the most lazy analogy ever.
Thanks for citing crackpot, right-wing extremist websites as your source. That says a lot about you and your dangerous ideologies.
