Yes. Fools will tell you the Nazis were socialists, people of a normal intelligence will tell you that calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck.
The issue is that both terms are valid and well defined in political science, but "socialism" and "national socialism" are not significantly related and it is disingenuous to even call national socialism a type of socialism.
Good point!
"The full name of the Nazi Party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German for 'National Socialist German Workers' Party')"
Gee, I wonder how anyone could possibly come to that conclusion?
Hence "calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck"
Yeah it’s like thinking the “Democratic peoples Republic of Korea” is somehow democratic.
I understood what you meant. I just don't agree that coming to this conclusion makes somebody a fool given the context.
Because it means they don't know anything but have an opinion anyways.
Fair enough
I bet you're confused by buffalo wings
HAHAHAHA
Because they're the same sort person who thinks a titmouse is a sexy rodent?
