People who’ve been indoctrinated by public education
Think the fascists/Nazis were “far right”,
When it’s clear the national socialist platform
Was just that; nationalist and socialist.
These indoctrinated fools
Have an extremely narrow idea of the spectrum
That ranges from total government on the Left
To zero government on the Right.
Saying the left of center fascists are right wing
Is like only seeing red to yellow on the color spectrum
Somehow ignorant, willfully or not,
Of all that lies to the right of green.

An excerpt from my new short story:
After Adolf received Alois' final inheritance in 1913, he moved to Munich, Germany. During his Vienna years living in squalor, Adolf was keenly interested in the makeup of Vienna's multicultural society. Those living in the upper class were a mixture of cultures. Mostly made up of Jews. However, at that time, negativity stemmed from all the races. During his last years in Vienna, now as a young adult, the dark lord remained diligent. Adolf had a circle of friends who were Anti- Semitics.
National Socialist German Workers Party, better known as the Nazi Party. The dark lord's student has advanced himself towards a teacher's status. He is still on the ropes but is ripening from green. He has exceptionally distinguished himself as a notoriety. His prospectus holds assurances. Hope builds a future as evil takes the lead and lays down the foundation.
I
Don't groan, I avoid hating -
Nazi Germany used 'National Socialist'
To give the lie to nationalism
And to God of all ethnoi, Jew and Gentile
But moans & groans turn to labeling
(Thinkers as Anti-Semite, even if Semitic)
Or friends of all nations, Jew & Gentile
II
You see what wrong?
I can only agree with givernments -
Or get called names, da#nn any brains:
I will be ostracized
Cast both as Nazi and Anti semite
If I say the government of Israel
Ought to have used, Judea or Judah!
The Samaritan's are still here (Nablus,
In the occupied West Bank, old Neapolis)
But Israelis rarely accept them as Jews
John chapter 4 is alive. So is Shechem!
III
When you have been a victim, or hurt
You will fly a flag higher than the cross
The cross and temple must raise flags
Must raise money, help solve problems-
But the 'church' today has no state
Or equal rights with the Flag
That's why nationalism is an ISM:
Ask Vlad Putin and the heores of USSR
Don't Be a Nazi
Flee the yoke of woke
and unlearn the hate inside,
and be a human
reaching out with love to share.
Tell the universe, “I care!”

Note:
As an infant, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church and avowed his sacrament of Confirmation in accordance with the Catechism of the Catholic Church at the age of fifteen in 1904. Though history books and the Catholic Church intentionally or unintentionally blur and misrepresent the truth with biased, opinionated arguments, Adolf Hitler never officially renounced his Catholic faith, nor was he excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church.
Adolf Hitler served as the leader (führer) of the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party)” from 1921 to 1945 and Chancellor (1933) and Führer (1934) of Germany until his suicidal death in 1945.
Adolf Hitler, “Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it.”
