I do not believe in evil. I do not want to live in a Nazi dictatorship, but I do not ascribe supernatural origins to systems of government that I abhor.
Me either. The confusion must lie in my choice of the word “evil.” Admittedly I am using the word improperly; even though it may be incorrect to do so, I am equating “evil” with “something I think is ***extremely ***bad.”
What the hell does Nazism have to do with socialism, besides the fact that both of them end in -ism?
You’re like the bizarro version of my mother. Capitalism is teh evil, according to her. But this doesn’t stop her from going on shopping sprees and living in a huge McMansion in an overly manicured cul de sac. Or pigging out on pesticide- and hormone-enriched foods produced by exploitative agrabusinesses all around the world.
I’m betting you had to take a public road on your way to the protest site. It must have made your blood boil to be on the Road of Evil.
You’re kidding with this, right?
“Socialism is evil.”
“Why?”
“Because, duh. It’s bad.”
“But why?”
“Why do you love Nazis?”
:dubious:
Well, they were sharp dressers. That counts for something.
Maybe that’s why nobody thinks the neo-nazis are cool. A screaming bald guy in fatigues and a Swastika armband just doesn’t look quite so cool as Skorzeny in his dress uniform.

Or Heyrdrich! Tall, blond, face like granite hatchet! Mmmm, I’ll be in my bunker…
Ve have vays of making you horny.
Seeing how you ignored my first question, I’ll ask another, more direct querie.
What are the qualities of socialism that are extremely bad to you?
"Good is better than evil 'cause it’s nicer!"

Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia was pretty hot too.
Crafter_Man: Communism, Nazism, and fascism are all totalitarian, tyranical types of government, that usually employ supression, torture, oppression, and hatred. Socialism does none of the above.
(And please, don’t anyone pull out the old canard that the Nazis were “Nationalist SOCIALIST” and that Soviets were the Union of the Soviet SOCIALIST Republic. Because, by that logic, the Soviet Union was also a REPUBLIC.)
I think capitalism, consumerism, industrialism, and altruism all end in -ism. Why do you love Hitler?
