I also wonder, since if there is a "next Hitler" he's almost assuredly going to be produced by anti-government, anti-"banker" gun culture.


I don't see the connection between being anti-banker and the NRA at all - being anti-banker is generally a left-liberal political position, a feeling more at home at Occupy Wall Street. I'm going to assume you didn't bring up "bankers" just because I'm Jewish.

The rest of what you said was equally nonsensical - really, just a slur against gun owners. Do you really think the future leader of an authoritarian, genocidal state apparatus would be anti-government?


Anti-unregulated banking is a left-liberal position. But lack of regulation isn't what I hear when I listen to gun culture complaining about "liberal elites" in Washington and "bankers" on Wall Street. Is that necessarily anti-semitism? No. But you brought up Hitler, not me.

Most uninformed thing I've read today. You might want to start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch


That would be the one carried out by the National Socialist Party, yes?

Just because someone told you that the Nazis were "right wing" doesn't mean they have anything in common with the other groups someone told are "right wing". "Right wing" and "left wing" are utterly meaningless except as terms of abuse.

Edit:

What, in specific, does (say) the Libertarian Party have in common with the Nazi Party?
