Wow Mr Draper , you are so wrong ! , but without even trying , maybe you just hit a grand slam . Reading you I understood something that I believe you and the others don't realize and causes your misunderstanding.

Outside the United States the term "liberal" means "liberty",
right wing , means free society , with little goverment , so when you read that Hitler arrested liberals , it means arrested capitalists ,not lefties. He also arrested communists.

In the US ,the term liberal means the opposite of what it means in the rest of the world.

But "right wing " means all over the world including US , free society , little goverment , and liberty , and socialism means centralized economy with high intervention of the goverment in the economy , it means in one word STATISM.

I don't understand why you say " that the "socialism" used by the NAZIS was a marketing tool". The "socialism " you refer , humanism, is ALWAYS used as a marketing tool.

Always ,all over the world, socialist , left wing political parties , use humanism as a marketing tool. They market socialism with a deliberately wrong definition , they say to voters that socialism is an economic ideology that takes money from those who have in excess , with progressive taxes, to give to the citizens that have less. THAT IS A LIE. Socialism is a system that takes money from all citizens, more from some , less from others , TO GIVE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT. Goverment and poor individuals are not the same .

They use humanism as an electoral flag , they never talk in elections of the real meaning , STATISM. They distract voters with a noble purpose , but decisions should be made by results , not by purposes.

Redistribution isn't the solution , there isn't enough money to make us all wealthy.

The real solution for poverty is to create wealth , and the real solution for inequality is to give everyone the opportunity to do it.

There is a phrase from Milton Friedman appropiate for this occasion , " a society that decides to priorize equality among liberty , will not get either of them , one who decides to priorize liberty among equality , will gain a high grade of both."
