There's a huge difference between being a communist and simply being a populist. Populism is a rhetorical style, it's the act of saying "There's many of us and few of them" usually with "them" being some sort of elite or powerful group, or a group that you pretend is powerful (like Jews, who broadly had very little power in Weimar Germany). You can say that communists and Nazis are both "populists" because they both say "There's many of us and few of them," but there is no comparison to be made in their actual policies. The Nazis wanted to protect the capitalist class and keep it around forever, and they had no interest in helping the workers except in the most superficial or convenient ways (giving people free radios so they could hear Hitler's speeches and other Nazi propaganda, for instance).

I absolutely agree ofc. I'm not a whitewinger saying nazis were really communists.

Yet when i see a nowaday movement saying that we should have a strong state that takes cares of the poor (socialism) as long as they're white (nationalism), I call them what they are. Nazis.

Also known as what about OUR homelesses, usually uttered from a karen who think she's a good person because she gave one a penny back in 1982.

We all known nazis dont really care about the poors lmao
