In terms of social and economic policy Hitler was left wing, hence national socialism.

# His economic policy was loosely Keynesian
which, though often mistaken for being left-wing due to the emphasis on state-sponsored public works programmes to help encourage full employment, actually isn't particularly leftish.

Plus the Nazis called themselves "socialist" largely to con poor workers into voting for them, not because they actually were.

well spotted - whilst his position in the realm of "fashionable" may be questionable, kudos to him all the same for his tache-styling!

# There is an old saying on Usenet
that whoever mentions Hitler first in an argument has lost.

(But certainly, Blunkett is a complete fucking maniac, and woo pic.)

# Seeing as Blunkett and Hitler are under discussion in the same thread.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

That is all.

# first they came for the trade unionists
I hate it when this fucking poem gets re-writen
The fact that the author was a jew means that if first they had come for the jews it would read

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was in a concentration camp.

besides first they murdered the spakards

so that would be:

First they murdered the spakards
Then they put me in a camp
The end.

Its almost Haiku.
