Ah shit, here we go again - Lemmy.ca

Is the bottom the full name for Nazi? What’s AFP? Sorry if I’m out of the loop

AfD is a current right-wing party in Germany.

The Nazi party’s name was the German National Socialist Workers’ Party (National Sozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei)

And to be clear: the fist nazi camps were built to hold any communists or socialists they didn’t already execute.

Nazis hated Marxists. More than any other group.

And to be even clearer: the only reason why they chose this name was to appeal to common people and workers, the biggest part of the electorate. And it worked.

One example of their bullshit: They promised an end to unemployment and they did manage to get millions back into a job! How, you ask? Why, by making them build public sector projects like the Autobahn in MANUAL LABOR. While back then obviously very good machines already existed. But they’d need 1 operator and not 10 “hard-working, strong Aryan men with shovels and pickaxes”.

Of course, most of the public infrastructure projects didn’t benefit the public. It benefitted Hitler’s war machine a few years later. Can’t roll your Panzers over dirt roads.
