So they are both factually incorrect, this isn't surprising

The 1930s era Nazis loved this kind of confused and meaningless gish gallop. They were more than happy to label everyone from the SDP to the Strausserites to Jewish Olympic athletes to Hindenburg himself a Communist, whenever it was convenient.

Far from spinning, Hitler would be beaming with pride.

The whole Big Lie strategy is to make your opponent deny it, while reinforcing the ideas of progressivism and anti-colonialism and egalitarianism as inherently wicked and shameful.

To the best of our knowledge, the Soviets cremated him and chucked the ashes into a river. So not much left to spin.

It's almost funny how neo-nazis like Weidel and Musk constantly pivot between "Hitler was kinda great, actually" and "Hitler was an evil communist, actually".

They could have discussed how to create a more liveable world. How to overcome the climate crisis. Their visions for the future.

Nope, it's Hitler and communism, both dead and buried. Really shows you what's on the mind of these death cultists.

You really have to be the most terrible person to constantly espouse National Socialist ideology but still be bothered by the socialist sham part of it.

These two are actually so depraved that they strive to be even more evil than the goddamn Nazis. Congratulations, you two! You're well on your way to becoming the worst people who ever lived.
