    I completely agree with what you said about Hitler. In fact, even worse. His stealing of the word socialism for his own purposes did major damage to the concept people had of socialism. Calling a system that exploits workers and laborers socialism, when the whole idea was to put the workers in charge, damages the idea in people’s minds.

    I mean the target of one’s fascism is not the same fascism. It’s one that is arbitrarily less “correct”. For example the Slovenian fascists turned on the Germans, and the Germans turned on Vichy as soon as it suited them. My point was being “antagonistic” to fascist groups doesn’t mean you “cannot” be one. It is correct they did turn on their leftmost group after they’d served there purpose. They still (wrongly) called themselves socialist afterwards though. I wonder if anyone else could have done that.

    People lie about it in my experience. I work in government and in education. I’ve received our “DEI” training. I’m in the very heart of it, and all I’ve seen is that it’s the exact thing that the people who complain about it say (sometimes) that they want instead. They (probably say but don’t necessarily mean) that we should hire based on merit and not race. Well guess what? My dei training is watching a video where: some boss says "I don’t want to hire Ahmed ", his subordinate says “but he’s the best candidate” and his boss says “yeah but he’s Indian” freeze frame, question on what you should do, play video saying to hire him if he’s the most qualified guy.

    Maybe your experience is different, but I’m in an organization that is what gets pointed to the hardest as “the problem” by these people, and I have seen what they describe. Maybe it’s different for HR, but are you in our HR department, or have you just “heard about it”
