That one was in fact an Austrian...

Austrian and Germans are literally the same

Not true. My Prussian ancestors were much more effective than your average disorganized Austrian.

Jad... Do you really think that the school system will teach the kids, that NSDAP = National Socialistic German Labour Party? Would they see the difference with Mr. Schulz then...?

"90% of my followers are people of the Left!"
Adolf Hitler
In one of his speaches to the NSDAP leadership in the thirties, when acussed of being too conservative.Yes, to some party comerades he was...

OH MEIN GOTTEN It has socialist on it's name, that changes everything. Cuz everyone knows names mean a lot. Like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is actually democratic, actually a republic and actually for the people, by the people.

It's not like Hitler had a paramilitary force that he used against communists, or that his main base of support consisted of right and far-right germans

Feel free to go ahead, if that's how you feel.

But I think the core issue here is that the binary left-right political division is oversimplified. For example, a political view that favors both a regulated economy and social inequality doesn't neatly fit anywhere on the spectrum.

I much prefer the two-axis system that measures economic and social policy separately. But that one lends itself a bit less towards wordplay on the multiple meanings of the words left and right.

It may surprise you, but I agree.

Me too, maybe also suprisingly. But Adolf didn't. He implemented welfare, health insurance, workplace safety standards... The list goes on. He also had the first animal rights laws voted in by German Pairlament. The law was personally writen by Hainrich Himmler... He had to be a squishy guy. On his one and only visit to a concentration camp he vomited publically and then fainted.

As for the political division.
The simplest way I seen it stated, said:

"Communism is nazism for all people. Nazism is communism for one nation"

Sadly, I forgot who authored this morsel.

Not just right, but Reich!

Currently Fourth. The previous ones malfunctioned and had to close.

Nah, we're not reich, we are poor.

I almost spat thick balkan yoghurt at my screen when I read this, you!


You could have preempted this with a joke warning or something...

Soooo, who is this Balkan you found?

I think you guys will be OK, at least you haven't got this as your new foreign secretary:

Er... It is a region in Europe? You know, like in north of Greece but south from Danube? Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Czarnogóra, Croatia, Bosnia... Some add Romania and Greece too. They make good, thick yogurt there. They learned it from the Ottoman Turks, as well as stoning and impalement.

My thoughts exactly.
And Feral isn't making it any better

Wait... You mean Balkan as a person?

* puts paws on snout and sighs*

How come I hang out with people with so dirty minds...?

The almost-impeached President Dilma had 19 ministers investigated under corruption charges. Top that one, teadrinker.

EDIT: MALKAV! My avast antivirus keeps telling me you're trying to hax into my pc through this forum. Could you not?

That isn't illegal though is it? My great grandfather had duel citizenship which meant two passports.

Illegal...? Generally speaking, no. But it calls your loyalty in doubt, when two countries you are bound to be loyal to have an issue. Especially when you are a governmental official of one of them.

I think that's dependant on your view of the person, if I had a positive view I would hope they'd be a good candidate to come to a compromise that works in favour of both countries because they have stakes in the welfare of both countries.

Like I said depends on your view of the individual ;)

Even were the person a virgin with pure morals, there is still conflict of interests. I have to state lack thereof while sending a publication, then think of officials doing deals concerning welfare of nations.
