John calm down. :-) - First, the OP line was - I think - ironical, not literal. - Second, you're misinterpretating. I just happened to read a comment on the Net, about Nazism and Socialism, and I think it explain the matter quite well: "Nazism and Socialism, while both authoritarian in nature, are vastly different ideologies. Even though the Nazi movement was first labeled the National Socialist movement in Germany, it was a gross misuse of the term ³Socialism² in the sense that we know it today. Nazism is in truth grounded in Fascist ideals of corporatism with some xenophobic aspects tossed in for good measure, and was in direct opposition to the Communist movement in Europe in the 20s and 30s. Socialism on the other hand is meant as a stepping stone to true Communism. While not a Socialist myself, I will admit that the end to which the Socialist philosophy aspires is much more good-natured than the end to which Nazism aspires. " We better distinguish the labels from the facts. ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
