Considering yours. He actively enlisted in tropes of left ideological view points and he used progressive attacks on capitalism. It doesn’t matter that his views changed due to his crazed paranoia as time went on. He killed everyone around him from the left ideological stand point to the communists stand point. His core values didn’t change, he promoted safety of wildlife, he was a strong environmentalist, he was anti gun, he was anti tobacco. He was Obama with a hope sticker on it (lol)
He never did a thing to stop capitalism. Nazi Germany was more or less a state capitalist system. Where means of production are privately owned, and the government buys a massive amount from those people and funds that private ownership with subsidy. (and the government got the money to do that by confiscating it from Jews, etc.)
You're trying to argue that he was a secret leftist at the start and only stopped being a leftist when he went crazy. That just has no basis in reality. He was anti socialist and anti marxist from the start and actively fought against them. The extent of his leftism was to coopt symbols of leftism so he could ride some of their popularity. He never for a single second pushed for leftist policies, and actively pushed far right policies for literally his entire political career.
Maybe you people on the right are correct about American education being terrible. If it produced somebody dumb and ignorant enough to make the arguments you just did it's clearly doing something wrong.
