*Pop quiz: can you guess the political affiliation?* : "I support national healthcare...And the trillions spent in insane wars, I would much rather spend that on something that is immediately useful.” “I actually really like this idea [of a minimum basic income]...We need to have a kind of altruism. We need to be willing to take care of people and not simply think of ourselves as individuals who can acquire wealth as possible."

Nazis and Communists HATE this theory, but it shows their commitment to authoritarian tyranny.
The Nazis and the German Communists mostly recruited from each other.
As the political horseshoe theory attributed to Jean-Pierre Faye highlights, if we travel far-left enough, we find the very same sneering, nasty and reckless bully-boy tactics used by the far-right. The two extremes of the political spectrum end up meeting like a horseshoe, at the top, which to my mind symbolizes totalitarian control from above. In their quest for ideological purity, Stalin and Hitler had more in common than modern neo-Nazis and far-left agitators would care to admit.[5]"

Also, remember that the term "socialist" was the newest rebranding of Marxism and was gaining popularity. Even then the socialists and Nazis fought in the streets. It is my understanding that Nationalsozialist's used that word specifically to attract support. Hitler looked at the socialists and though... "yup, these dudes would make great nazis"
From what I see today. Hitler was right.

And for those of you wondering, who is Maajid Nawaz? The smart dark tubez strikes back.
After years of smearing good people with false charges of bigotry, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has finally been held to account. A former Islamic radical named Maajid Nawaz sued the center for including him in its bogus “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,” and this week the SPLC agreed to pay him a $3.375 million settlement and issued a public apology.

Wow this deserves it's own thread man. SPLC and Snopes are both pied piper propaganda for the left. They are a huge part of the problem

SPLC also has Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the list, along with David Horowitz. Basically, if you're not in love with Islam, you're a bigot. Even former Muslims who became agnostic secularists.
"In 2015, reformist Muslim Maajid Nawaz invoked the Horseshoe Theory while lamenting a common tendency on the far left and far right towards the compiling and publishing of "lists of political foes".[5]
