Riginslinger, Goebbels was not a socialist. The National Socialist Party of Germany, better known as Nazis, were not socialists. They attacked and suppressed all leftists, communists, and socialists in Germany at that time. They were extremely to the right, politically speaking, and were the best friends of huge privately owned capitalist enterprises in Germany, who worked hand in glove with the Nazis, because German re-armament meant windfall profits for those industries.

The name "National Socialist" was a complete misnomer for the Nazis....if you take it to mean a connection with socialism. They vigorously opposed the socialists of their day, persecuted and killed them, and helped crush a fledgling socialist society in Spain before WWII even started.

In short, you don't know what the heck you are talking about when you call Goebbels a socialist, and to link Obama to Goebbels is just downright stupid.

It is the Bush/Cheney/Rove regime that has demonstrated tactics and tendencies reminiscent of Naziism...and quite blatantly in fact. They resemble the Nazis in just about every cardinal point (except anti-Jewish pogroms).   Well....at least you can't accuse them of being (horrors!) "socialists", can you? ;-)

Because they're not. They're fascists.
