"Anti-Semitism is exactly the same as delousing. Getting rid of lice is not a question of ideology, it is a matter of cleanliness. In just this same way anti-Semitism for us has not been a question of ideology but a matter of cleanliness.


- Heinrich Himmler


"We entered the synagogue, which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. When we got about halfway up, the head Rabbi, who was dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by Henry VIII of England and in a surplice heavily embroidered and very filthy, came down and met the General (Eisenhower)...The smell was so terrible that I almost fainted and actually about three hours later lost my lunch as the result remembering it."



~ General Patton in Germany, diary entry Sept 17, 1945


What are you implying? That Jews are naturally dirty?

Remember it was wartime and that event might even have taken place in a Nazi death camp where dysentery was rife and unburied bodies littered the death camps.

And why post it here? It sounds as if you're antisemitic. David Irvine a mate of yours?

Patton was known to be anti-Semitic and a Nazi sympathiser. He opposed de-Nazification. He would have loved Starmer and his policies. ( The Nazies were Socialists)

The word 'socialist' in their name doesn't mean that they were even remotely socialist in its normally accepted meaning.

The National Socialist German Workers’ Party believed in the state being superior to, and more important than, any individual, whose interests were subjugated to those of the state and the party.

That is the key marker of all socialist parties: "individuals don't matter".

Just saying "that's not true" doesn't change it.

Try looking in a dictionary for what socialist means, I don't think it's what you claim.

They were in fact very socialist in reality with free holiday camps for workers, free medical services for workers, lots of govt construction of the autobahnen etc etc etc.

Dictionarys don't define words like that.

While I sort of agree with some of your other equivalences I think this one is pushing it a bit!

Since when has any marxist/socialist/communist governement been possible to call liberal? There's very few nominally liberal governments around are there?

don't they use the word "Democratic" instead?

Quite likely, but the above refers to "modern Liberalism", not democracy.
