    The National Socialist German Worker’s Party (Nazis) was not known for deporting socialists. Seems very odd to call someone a Nazi for calling for such.

      Oh I do love me some nazi apologia. Sure, once in power socialists and communists were arrested and killed or put into the camps, but not generally deported. Jews on the other hand were initially ‘encouraged’ to get out of germany, and then ‘deported’ to the extermination and slave labor camps.

      People who think Nazis were/are socialists just because the word is in their name just show how incredibly little they know about history.

        They don’t really think that. They just want to muddy the waters. Anything that makes actual discussion of issues more difficult is a win for them.

      I think it would be impossible for this take to be more ahistorical and inaccurate.

      They were known for exterminating socialists. They outlawed socialism. And the first camps that they were famous(eg Dacua) for were originally made to deal with socialists.

      Shortly after the Nazi rise to power and the Reichstag Fire, they arrested thousands of their opponents. The scale of these arrests led to the creation of early concentration camps to hold the prisoners.

      The early concentration camps primarily held political prisoners as the Nazis sought to remove opposition, such as socialists and communists, and consolidate their power.

      Here’s an article form 1933:

      They teach this stuff in public elementary schools. Did you not go to school?

      It’ll take a while to deport legal American citizens. They might have to put them into camps first.
