You foolishly ignore the very purpose of demagoguery

Hitler's "words" are not to be confused with his actions. This is part of what demagogues do. His "words" were perhaps intended to co-opt some "socialists" in Germany, but his practice was never remotely that of a social democrat. He threw people like that in jail, or forced them into exile. And, although I personally find communists repugnant as well, they were among the first people his that thugs attacked. You seem to purposefully confuse the issues, with an obvious agenda in mind. You, sir, are the one who is either a liar or a fool.
