      Probably, despite the fact that Hitler himself said they weren’t socialists.

        He wouldn’t even need to say it - just look what the Nazis were which was basically fascism + racial science + antisemitism

      Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the ‘right’ side of history every time

        Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

          It is a contradiction, though.

          “Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”

          “The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”

            Except Antifa isn’t a formal organization, it’s a descriptor for an ideology. An organization can call itself anything, even if it isn’t a proper descriptor, but an ideology is by necessity defined by its name.
