For anyone that agrees with Musk here, I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds. Socialism and Communism are fundamentally polar opposites to fascism in who they served and how they functioned. Communism has always been about uplifting the Proletariat, while Fascism served the interests of the bourgeoisie and sought to turn Imperialism towards the rest of Western Europe, not just the Global South.

But have you considered that both the Nazis and the Communists had a man with a moustache in uniform?

99% of people with an iota of critical thinking skills agree: Elon Musk is an incessant moron

Dont forget Alice Weidel, who is a moron to

I think Alice Weidel is among the most intelligent politicians in Germany, she’s simply a neoliberal ghoul who guises that with Nazism. To her, the anti-immigration, anti-LGBTQ+, misogynistic politics are simply a means of making more austerity, more severe restrictive labour laws, and more free market policies palatable to the German populace. It’s simple opportunism.

Nazi agrees with nazi that the world's biggest nazi was actually part of the group most opposed to the Nazis.

They really can't get over that Hitler lost.

Is Elon going to start calling himself a communist now? Fucking National "socialism" all over again.

The destruction of Twitter would be the biggest defeat of nazism since WW2

Does this mean Musk and AfD are now communists too?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

The fear/adoration for Hitler on the far right comes from a fear of Germany successfully colonizing Europe and the rest of the world, the adoration from wanting to do it again on their terms.

Eh, three arrows isn't really a good source either. Being against Socialism/Communism (one of the arrows in the 3) is a big red flag for attacking claims of Nazis being Socialist. A much better source would be Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti.
