Here's an easy guide to assist you in deciding whether or not you can punch a Nazi...

pretty sure that that is codified in law in Germany.

Unfortunately, people tend to forget that nazi is short for nationalism, and there's a ton of US nationalists, including El Presidente.

@Grey the general understanding of the term equates to a person who hates everyone that isn't the same as them.

Nazi is actually national socialism which is quite a bit more specific than nationalism. Not arguing the merits or criticism, just pointing out that while nationalism includes nazism, nazism does not encompass all of nationalism.

Technically I would probably qualify under that definition as well, since everyone sucks and I hate you all equally.

To paraphrase the brilliant Dennis Leary... "My hate is based on personal performance... I have a white Irish cousin, looks just like me.... he's a FUCKING IDIOT!!!"

Dennis Leary's angry man routines were awesome.

Not really. National Socialism is a very specific subset of facism. It's centered around some key tenants and ideas.

Oddly enough, most Neo-Nazi supporters in America are anti-socialism. They embrace the bad of Nazism without any of its benefits (and yes, while horrible in the end, it has some positive features, which is why it was so popular.)

@scottalanmiller I never understood the emotional response to socialism. If you don't agree with a concept then don't agree? Why get emotional about it?

The extremists on both sides of the fence tend to be extremely emotional. For instance I'm not for or against socialism personally but I do wonder as to whether or not we'll ever be able to see it in it's true form sure. But what we tend to be aware of is the extreme, smaller, emotional groups that are very vocal. Just my two cents.

Sure, true socialism run by computers might be attainable.. But not run by other humans, because there will always be that one human who wants more than the rest, and will find a rally cry to get it, then the whole system fails/failed.

@dashrender So basically - humans suck, all political systems suck, etc?
