This is obviously wrong.

First, equality in rights is not a left\right thing in the modern sense of "left" and "right". Historically yeah, it was - when "right" meant parties of aristocracy and "left" meant parties of bourgeoisie, with peasantry split between them.

Second, humans in general very rarely actually mean it when they say something like that quote by Voltaire about free speech.

Third - I take it Khmer Rouge, DPRK, Soviet Union, Kuba under Fidel etc were all right dictatorships.

Four - it's really funny when leftists act as if they've successfully managed to unload NSDAP into pockets of the "right".

Have fun with what Hitler said to Strasser (amongst other things).

Also, can you tell me the very first line of the "first they came for the..." poem by Martin Neimöller? Who was it that the Nazis first came for? Go ahead and look it up, I'll wait.

Not being Marxist doesn't mean not being socialist.

Go ahead and look it up, I’ll wait.

I remember most banalities without looking up.

Also it's Niemöller.

Not being Marxist doesn’t mean not being socialist.

Cool. You barely looked at the links.

Now, let's look at two definitions of socialism.

Which specific means of production were community-owned and/or community-regulated in Nazi Germany?

I remember most banalities without looking up.

Also it’s Niemöller.

So why do you think he said that the Nazis first came for the socialists if that wasn't true?
