The 1930s era Nazis loved this kind of confused and meaningless gish gallop. They were more than happy to label everyone from the SDP to the Strausserites to Jewish Olympic athletes to Hindenburg himself a Communist, whenever it was convenient.

Far from spinning, Hitler would be beaming with pride.

The whole Big Lie strategy is to make your opponent deny it, while reinforcing the ideas of progressivism and anti-colonialism and egalitarianism as inherently wicked and shameful.
