Nazi is a German political party

[GunnerX86]

Many people think when they are called a Nazi it means that they are bad, cruel and evil.The term Nazi is the name for a political party in Germany that existed in the early 1900s.Hitler was a Nazi but that doesn't mean a Nazi is bad.

[psycho-squirrel]

It was a political party. Then the Nazi's made an army and did horrible things that only evil men would do.

The Nazis were horrible people. When it was a party, just normal. But then the nazi army did things only seen in hell.

Shindler was a nazi, in the party, helped many jews and saved many.

So pre-nazi take over, it was just a party. Those in the nazi army that commited those crimes were evil. It was acts that any normal person would rather hang himself then commit them.
Nazis are not humans, they are garbage and demons. Sub humans.

Old Nazi was a political party, until they changed into an army, became facists, and started WW2.

[GunnerX86]

That was ignorant.Hitler started the evil.There was no such thing as a Nazi army.It was the German army, the only thing is they were basically brainwashed into thinking they were doing the right thing.

[CptxMorgan]

Hitler more or less just ran under the National Socialist Party, his beliefs weren't those of the parties more than they were solely his. Of course considering he used the Nazi party as his guise, they're now associated more with the Third Reich than anything else.

There's a difference between the swasitka that represented the Nazi party, and the one that represents the ancient symbol. It shouldn't be hard to figure out which one is a liaison for which because they are different. Another thing is that people associate what you're talking about with the Nazi group because your "political party" does not exist anymore - it turned into an army used to exploit Jews. And what better way to spread a message than through a political party?

Hitler was a full blown socialist. He was sent by the German government to investigate what the socialist party was about and ended up being the party leader.

The Hindu symbol is rotated to make the Nazi swastika because it is supposed to represent a double S of the Socialist party.

You may be surprised by what a "normal" human would do if the only other option whats a self-hanging. my great grandfather just took the third option and deserted the German army.

for which he was executed, but that's a different story, or the same one?

To me, that seems more so ignorant. Hitler was not the only man to blame for the atrocities the Nazi's did. Could he really kill 6,000,000+ Jews all by himself? The answer is no. If he didn't have the support of people like Himmler who helped him then it wouldn't have happened. Rarely can you blame the death of a large amount of people on one person.

Your right, however hitler was chief architict and orchastrator of the holocaust, even although
support, volunatary or involunartary deserves equal amount of blame. so maybe the amount of deaths can't be credited on one person alone, hitler deserves the blame placed on him mountingly.

[ProudOne]

You know, the higher politicians might have known - but the ordinary people just did NOT know about what was going on in the KZs. I once asked my grandmother and she told me that she was totally overwhelmed when the French soldiers told her about what they saw in Bisingen where Jews had to produce oil from slate.

It's quite the same thing that happens in America. Your Reichstag burned on 9/11 and your Afghanistan was our Austria. Now there's Poland... or was it Iraq? When will your KZ... oh sorry I meant Guantanamo - be filled up with your Jews or Moslems?

See; Hitler was also financed by the FED; Supported by GM and you Americans got "Kruppstahl" from Germany. Who are we kidding! We're all balls in a gigantic Flipper machine of those who make our money! We sold our Freedom, our security, our ideals and our impartiality to capitalism or communism, to the CIA, BND or FBI, to the media and to what you might call Patriotism!

When will we wake up and see that it doesn't matter if you come from right or from left of a border?
When will we wake up to find religion as a tool, a key to our minds?
When will we wake up and live and recognize others as what we are?

Human beings, damn it!

Don't make the word "human" sound like the opposite of what it means!

The swastika was an early ancient symbol in many German tribes, the Nazis took it from their history books not the Hindu one.

[trogdor136]

saying Hitler was the cheif architect of the holocaust is not entirely true. He was the figurehead of the holocaust and ignorant people think he is the sole evil behind it

From their history books. The socialists were very Anglo centric so they tried to tie everything stemming from their race.

[Matt475]

The Nazi's and Hitler had the right idea.

[MrFlopz]

That is kind of like saying that Hitler is not evil because he wasn't evil when he was a little kid.

Nice try! Better luck next time!

No, he right. The swastika is used in Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

[DeadSun]

Nazi WAS a political party. A party that took over germany and much of Europe. Now it is a group of people that are complete idiots and have anger issues.

Nowadays the term "Nazi" refers to everyone who actively sympathizes with the heritage of Adolf Hitler and/or his followers. The political party of Hitler was called the NSDAP: Nationalistic Socialistic German Labor Party. The Nazis is what they were called by others.

Nazis are bad people, at least from my point of view.

Um, only when rotated slightly so it has a vertical and horizontal line. This is the symbol of Nazi Germany.

Well the one you posted does not represent any of those ancient symbols.

[ThePretenders]

The word Nazi comes from the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party). Anyone who was a member of the party was called a Nazi. It depends whether you believe Nazis are bad or not but most of humanity would think of the Nazis as bad.

Umm, it is if you rotate it 45 degrees and flip it.

But no, that's just a black and white Nazi symbol.

[Corky-D]

Symbolism.

They just used tho old swastika, changed it, and used it for their purposes.

[notld224]

National Socialist German Workers Party.
I don't know near enough German (Deutsch) to be able to translate that into Deutsch, but it's easily looked up.

I think it's sad people use Nazi's as an insult these days. Sure, they did a lot of stupid shit under Hitler and his dumbass 1930's Crackpot Eugenics Based ideas... But NAZI is just German for a political party, and its an exaggeration.

Bob:"YOU'RE A NAZI (I.e. Genocider) BECAUSE YOU HATE T3H GHEYS!"
Drew:"No... I'm not a socialist German worker. I just hate gays because of <insert religious or social reason here"

[GunnerX86]

I see many people agree with me, but I also see that many of you have gone off topic.

p.s.I was going to make a topic of the Swas Sticker in another thread, but it looks like I won't have to.

Sigh. The Nazi leaders perhaps were, yes. But can YOU blame every single german father, brother and son who had to fight for his country when the country called him after years and years of brainwashing? Can you blame the poor peasants who's life wasgreatly improved by the nazi party; for which he decided to serve the army?

You can nót say every German soldier was a subhuman monster.
The Holocaust and WWII were culminations of processes that had been going on for hundreds of years.

Nazi didn't change into an army..

You Dudes should réally study history better before you say such retarded stuff.
They did not 'became' fascists; that's just plain ignorant. They were and always had been a Fascist Party. The term fascist means ultra-nationalist (often racist), militarist and promoting a 'Third way' between left (state socialism) and right (capitalism). It's not like Fascist is a term for Naz General, which you seem to think.
