I'll play. Imagine if you lived in a town full of JuBru's. Bad guys came into town to kill all of you... your family, your friends, your doctor, your teachers, etc... To save yourself, you got in with the bad guys and started taking property from your family and friends for the bad guys and you watched as they were taken away to be murdered. You looked them in the eye and said, "Sorry, I'm with the other team now... get on the train."
And after all these years, you're still cool with that. Cold.
I can't believe he hasn't been banned from every civilized country or even poisoned yet.

Soros Calls For Social Media Regulation to Fight Populism...
What a complete crackpot
George Soros' family took steps to protect themselves when he was a young child. Their real name is Schwarz. That's right, Soros is a stolen name...like identity theft. In 1936 the Schwarzs were ethnically Jewish, their extended family were Jews, but George's parents rejected the Jewish religion and didn't like Jews as people, including their own relatives. They bought a new identity changing their family name to Soros. In Hungary at that time, and across Europe in general, Jews were under siege being blamed for all the bad things in the economy, in politics, etc... So, the new Soros family distanced themselves from the Jewish community. Later they purchased more documents to "show" they were Christians, which they weren't.
Georgie boy embraced this anti-Jewish attitude, and it was an easy transition for him to join the Nazis, as a young teenager. So, was this just a result of parental influence and maybe self-preservation? You know, he was just 14, very impressionable. Well, according to his classmates he really adopted the whole Nazi philosophy. He tried recruiting them to join the Nazi youth group he was a part of. If he was just pretending to be a Nazi while the German Nazi army occupied Budapest he could have done it without so much enthusiasm for that philosophy.
Okay...fast forward...now he's in his early 20's, out of danger of being rounded up by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. He's at the University of London, in England! where the German Nazis were hated like no other place on Earth. It would have been safe for Georgie boy to express anti-Nazi opinions....but, he didn't. Instead he embraced the teachings of Karl Popper, an interesting and conflicted professor in the London School of Economics. Popper, an Austrian Jew, was influenced by his uncle who willingly joined the Nazis when Hitler occupied Austria in the late 1930's. By then Popper had left for New Zealand for a teaching position there, and thus was safely out of harm's way when WWII started.
Popper is, himself, an interesting character. But, he expressed support for Marxism as the logical end for what he called "social democracy." Nazism is a step along that path, a philosophical bridge between democracy and Marxism. Popper never defended Hitler's version of Nazism, but he espoused support for the principles upon which "national socialism" is based. Mostly Popper is known for his philosophy on science, and it was in that arena that he taught and wrote his papers on. But, there is a link between science and economics and social discourse/politics....economics is known as the "queen of the social sciences." George Soros was mesmerized by the teachings of Popper. He was a young student of economics, and after reading George Soros' essays on economics that he published back in 2012 or so, I can see the connection between Soros' views and Popper's philosophy.
George Soros is a dangerous individual. Mostly he's into self-centered financial gain. Yes, while he pretends to be some great champion of social justice, he's really all about lining his own pockets. A good example of that was his avid support for the obummer's administration closing deep-water drilling after the BP accident in the Gulf. He then orchestrated the US government's buying leases off the coast of Brazil to appease oil companies, i.e. giving them somewhere else to drill. But, looky here! Soros had bought those leases from the Brazilian government for next to nothing and then jacked up the price and sold them to obummer. Pretend to care about the environment and US coastal waters....oh, so noble he is....and then Bam! huge profits!
When it comes to Soros....just follow the money trail.
Naziism was not a step from democracy to Marxism. Nazis positioned their economic policy as a step away and alternative to Marxism. In the orbit of socialism as it were at that time in Germany - Nazism was the right wing and Marxism was he left wing.
Wrong. Socialism to Nazism and Marxism is the usual pathway. And both Naziism and Marxism are leftist/liberal/Godless/anti-semitic ideologies similar to the current socialist thinking of today (even though they don't realize it nor believe it). And Communism is a Godless ideology as well.
Hitler and the socialist dream
George Watson
He declared that 'national socialism was based on Marx' Socialists have always disowned him. But a new book insists that he was, at heart, a left-winger
In April 1945, when Adolf Hitler died by his own hand in the rubble of Berlin, nobody was much interested in what he had once believed. That was to be expected. War is no time for reflection, and what Hitler had done was so shattering, and so widely known through images of naked bodies piled high in mass graves, that little or no attention could readily be paid to National Socialism as an idea. It was hard to think of it as an idea at all. Hitler, who had once looked a crank or a clown, was exposed as the leader of a gang of thugs, and the world was content to know no more than that.
Half a century on, there is much to be said. Even thuggery can have its reasons, and the materials that have newly appeared, though they may not transform judgement, undoubtedly enrich and deepen it. Confidants of Hitler. such as the late Albert Speer, have published their reminiscences; his wartime table-talk is a book; early revelations like Hermann Rauschning's Hitler Speaks of 1939 have been validated by painstaking research, and the notes of dead Nazis like Otto Wagener have been edited, along with a full text of Goebbels's diary.
It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too. The title of National Socialism was not hypocritical. The evidence before 1945 was more private than public, which is perhaps significant in itself. In public Hitler was always anti-Marxist, and in an age in which the Soviet Union was the only socialist state on earth, and with anti-Bolshevism a large part of his popular appeal, he may have been understandably reluctant to speak openly of his sources. His megalomania, in any case, would have prevented him from calling himself anyone's disciple. That led to an odd and paradoxical alliance between modern historians and the mind of a dead dictator. Many recent analysts have fastidiously refused to study the mind of Hitler; and they accept, as unquestioningly as many Nazis did in the 1930s, the slogan "Crusade against Marxism" as a summary of his views. An age in which fascism has become a term of abuse is unlikely to analyse it profoundly.
His private conversations, however, though they do not overturn his reputation as an anti-Communist, qualify it heavily. Hermann Rauschning, for example, a Danzig Nazi who knew Hitler before and after his accession to power in 1933, tells how in private Hitler acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition. "I have learned a great deal from Marxism" he once remarked, "as I do not hesitate to admit". He was proud of a knowledge of Marxist texts acquired in his student days before the First World War and later in a Bavarian prison, in 1924, after the failure of the Munich putsch. The trouble with Weimar Republic politicians, he told Otto Wagener at much the same time, was that "they had never even read Marx", implying that no one who had failed to read so important an author could even begin to understand the modern world; in consequence, he went on, they imagined that the October revolution in 1917 had been "a private Russian affair", whereas in fact it had changed the whole course of human history! His differences with the communists, he explained, were less ideological than tactical. German communists he had known before he took power, he told Rauschning, thought politics meant talking and writing. They were mere pamphleteers, whereas "I have put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun", adding revealingly that "the whole of National Socialism" was based on Marx.

Your article agrees with me and contradicts what you said. His opponents were Marxist communists and he proposed that was causing unemployment and hurting the economy, so he advocated a more tactical form of socialism. Of course all of that was cloaked in German nationalism and racist ideology.
Well, it is natural to incorporate some of the dominant economic policy into your agenda when you are proposing a transition. In his case, it was a transition to a more liberal economy from a more tightly regulated one. In the case of American socialists, they don’t usually propose complete abandonment of capitalism, but a hybrid of capitalism and socialism.
That is just the nature of economic transitions.
