Uh oh.......

No, no, no....it's about the "freedom of the non-union workers". The Furhrer is being viciously smeared by liberals and Bolsheviks.
 
The only union wingers want to emulate is the Soviet Union.
 
He thinks Hitler was a commie, doesn't he?

Both you and LeRoy are correct Z. He believes Fascism was a liberal movement. No number of definitions from online dictionaries were enough to change his mind.

Slow learner. ;-)

As I said in an earlier post, I thought I remembered some guy in Germany doing the same thing the republicons are doing now. Thanks for verifying it. Now if I could only remember that guy's name. He was friends with the Bush family I think.
 
uh oh.......

it's a fake quote

It hasn't been proven that it is a fake, regardless Dr. Ken Ledford of Case Western University, reknown German historian, said of the quote:


"I cannot speak to the authenticity of the quotation of May 2 attributed to Hitler in the very many Web postings at which it is found, and without devoting far more research time than it warrants, I cannot proceed any farther on that.

But it is indisputable that the Nazis did close union offices, did confiscate union money, did put their leaders in prison. The Nazis did take away the right to strike.
I attach for your use a translation of a Circular of April 21, 1933 by Robert Ley, the Nazi labor leader, setting out plans to dissolve the German trade unions (three branches: the largest, the free trade unions [Allgemeine Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund, ADGB, General German Trade Union Federation] affiliated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany [a Marxist party, then as now]; the next largest the Catholic trade unions, affiliated with the Catholic Center Party; and the "liberal" Hirsch-Duncker Unions, much smaller and affiliated with the tiny liberal parties that received only 2 percent of the German vote by 1932) on May 2, 1933.

This translation comes from a major project to support the teaching of German history, "German History in Documents and Images," mounted by the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC (where I was a Research Fellow [Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter] from 1989-91]). The URL for the project here, (http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/). The chapter on 1933-45 is edited by Prof. Richard Breitman of the American University in Washington, a distinguished scholar of the National Socialist era, a fellow at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, biographer of Himmler, and Editor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. That should establish the authority of this translation in the view of all reasonable people.

There is simply no dispute among historians of German history about the fact that Hitler and the Nazis were opposed to the existing trade unions in Germany before they came to power and that they sought to "coordinate" (really, subordinate) them to Nazi party organizations in the first months after obtaining power on January 30, 1933. This was effectuated on May 2, 1933. Regardless of whether that quotation is accurate or genuine, the undeniable reality of Nazi hostility to organized labor (among many other target groups) is established."

So whether Hitler actually said it or not, his party practiced exactly what the quote says, just like the republicons are doing now.
 
If you say so.

I didn't see that Snopes had vetted it yet. Hell, I don't care. That may be debatable, but the fact that it's happening here isn't. That is kinda the point....yaknow?

It's a fake ....

but go with it anyway, and let us know when union offices are closed, union money confiscated and union leaders are put in prison, THEN you may have something.
