All you needed to write is that they were socialists.
The left hates that and will do all types of gymnastics to try and avoid admitting it.
I think that only applies to the endangered OG Democrats. Much of the current generation and almost all of the next generation of Democrats are avowed and public socialists or communists.
That was my point. They hate admitting they are in the same club. They will try and argue that national socialism is somehow different from international socialism (communism).
They attempt to do this by arguing that it's right Wing socialism, which is incorrect. They normally don't know their own history and the split between national socialism and international socialism, and then the further split among the international crowd into so-called minority and majority opinion groups later called Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. They will try to obfuscate further by noting period naming conventions of left and right that meant completely different things at the turn of the century.
