Why do the socialists do this? As a capitalist I observe your vicious and
bloody wars over the minutia of your beliefs and wonder what it is all about.
 I was totally mystified reading the history of the rivalries within the
socialist movement. During your moment in power in National Socialist
Germany the biggest war seemed to between the National Socialists and the
other branches of the socialist movement. The very term Nazis seems to have
been a deliberate intended insult from other socialists that was never used
by the National Socialists themselves.
       Take Trotsky, he couldn't even leave Russia and hide out in Russia.
The socialists killed the man.
       Consider Hitler and Mussolini. I doubt the war was over before
socialists were trying to redefine them as "right wing." Perhaps they were
right wing within the socialist movement but they certainly were not right
wing in the general sense of the word.
       Consider the following scenarios. Did Hitler and Mussolini first make
billions in the stock market and then enter politics? Did they first gain
fame as immensely wealthy and successful industrialists? Or did they come
into power as socialist thugs turned rabble rousers?
       I think I will use Occams razor and stick with the first history I
received on Mussolini.
