The thing is when people start to lump together Socialism, Nazism, Leftists and Communists all together in one neat little pile, they are displaying pure ignorance. It's embarrassing to watch. It is basically their way of abdicating the right of doing anything bad EVER in the course of history including natural disasters. It's a willful ignorance.

which is why America has been infected and brought to near ruin with that sick Socialist mentality.
rofl!
If America had a socialist mentality (which, IMO, it never had, compared to other countries) - IF it ever had a socialist mentality the states would not be there where they are right now.
With millions living under the poverty limit, not being able to afford health care, working minimum wage jobs, uneducated...the reason why America is so screwed up and "brought to near ruin" is because the Reps #ed it up, ignoring the needs of a starving majority (so to speak) and catering more to a small, already rich Elite instead - plus crazy spending towards defense.
Saying America has been brought near ruin with "sick Socialist mentality" must be the best joke i ever heard here on the forum...tell that the one making $6 hour working some # job who has no health insurance...or tell that someone looking for a job who needs an education or training (which in other, so called "socialist" countries he would actually get paid for).
So..where is that "socialist mentality" in the US? I'd like to see it!

The natural disasters bit was a joke, an exaggeration of the mentality of certain people who like to abdicate their ideology of ever doing anything wrong and blaming almost everything bad to have happened in the worlds history on the left. It's tiresome and just shows how closed minded and brainwashed some people are. It's usually Americans, who have been subject to the more extreme forms of Right wing propaganda from the corporate media.
Most people in Europe understand the Ideologies of Fascism, Nazism and Communism a little better than your average American, but then I guess you never had them on your doorstep in the same way as us.

That will never work. The left wants to paint everybody the same. When the right only wants people to learn to educate and have skills to prosper.

Yes, it's too bad that one only needs to visit wikipedia to see the truth of such a controversial figure as Hitler.
Lumping all socialists in with Hitler is just plain wrong. Israel was founded on socialism. Jesus was a socialist.
