Which would you rather be … a Nazi or a Socialist?

 This is a decision that Americans need to make in November 2016.

Not surprizing to political junkies, but there are about 50% of the American voters who will vote for a Nazi (Republican) Government rather than a Socialsit (Democratic) Government simply because they are scared witless of BIG Government costing more to get more social services (health care, education, etc.). 

They would rather see the poor stay poor, ill and uneducated, while protecting their specific state of economic wellness.

Xenophobia plays a huge role in this decision, as with the Nazis of the early 20^th Century, the fear component is being played like a high pitched, off-key, E-flat, squelch that make the intelligensia cringe, while the tone deaf masses accept as gospel, fuelling their hunger for somebody to blame for the economy.

How many of these sound familiar as the basis of the current Republican front-runners?

We demand the union of all Americans in a Great America on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.

We demand land and territory (colonies) for the maintenance of our people and the settlement of our surplus population. 

Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens. Only those who have American blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Muslim can be a countryman.

Those who are not citizens must live in America as foreigners and must be subject to the law of aliens.

The right to choose the government and determine the laws of the State shall belong only to citizens. We therefore demand that no public office, of whatever nature, whether in the central government, the province, or the municipality, shall be held by anyone who is not a citizen. 

We wage war against the corrupt parliamentary administration whereby men are appointed to posts by favor of the party without regard to character and fitness.

We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood. If it should not be possible to feed the whole population, then aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled.

Any further immigration of non-Americans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Americans who have entered America, shall be compelled to leave immediately.

All citizens must possess equal rights and duties.

The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.

These are ten of the 25-point Nazi Party Platform presented to a Nazi Party meeting February 1920, by Adolf Hitler. 
All I did was substitute AMERICA for GERMANY and MUSLIM for JEW.
