Go ahead, I'll wait . . .
And I'm a black woman. Clearly I must be since I said it. But please, tell us all how Hitler was a socialist.

Well, what I said in my last post is what it was DESIGNED to be. The labels of "oligarchy" and "plutocracy" seem to fit better nowadays though, sadly.

I'm not big on trolling. Sorry not sorry.

If you guys can get your jollies poking fun at me, then have fun with it.

Constitutionally-Limited Representative Democratic Republic is a form of Polyarchy. That word is just a cop-out.

Touch'e. But my dislike for Hitler doesn't stem from his political alignment. It stems from his assertion that his German people were better than everyone else and his forced labor camps.

I'll see if I can find it. Thank you for the recommendation
