There were regular street riots between the two sides and in one of them the leader of the Brown Shirts was badly wounded. He later died of his injuries in the hospital.

He was considered to be a martyr to the cause and his story was set to music and became the Co-National Anthem of Nazi Germany.

EVERY historian LAUGHED when the book "Liberal Fascism" came out because EVERYBODY knew Fascism was hard core right wing. They all were saying things like, "I guess they figured fascism was a bad word so they decided to pin it on the other side." Give it a few years and repeat the lie over and over and you end up with someone who honestly believes they are informed making a complete ass of themselves by claiming Nazis were leftists.

I tell anyone who says that to come with me. I'll take them to a biker bar and have them go up to some guy fresh out of prison with a swastika tattoo on their neck and call them a Liberal because the Nazis were Commies.

I get to kick back with a beer and enjoy the show as they get their teeth knocked down their throat.

I see a lot of projection here, but not a lot of analysis of objective fact Bucky Mar 2013 #20
So, how would you then define them? Your comments seem to (in a way) let them off the hook newthinking Mar 2013 #21
Good question. Bucky Mar 2013 #26
