He rebuilt the economy of German after a devastating World War I. You want to give credit to liberalism?

Side: conservative

I have to give them the good with the bad :-)

Side: conservative

He liberated all of them Jews...that's for sure .

Side: liberal

Liberalism is about radical change. You can't get any more radical than Hitler ;)

Conservatism means preserving the current state of the country. Liberalism is moving away from the current state. Which do you think Hitler did ;)

What radical change? Allowing people to vote? Allowing people to get married? Liberalism is not responsible for much change. They suck at that, too. ;)

He was a power-hungry communist, he obviously believed in big government, he slaughtered millions of people because they didn't fit his idea of the perfect race, and he wanted an unarmed society --- quite obviously a liberal.

Holy shit! Was Hitler a racist? I am so glad you pointed that out, I would have never know otherwise. I had only heard about his art career.

He was leader of the National Socialist Party. Not really conservative, but far more to the right than left, in actual fact. Hitler won the vote in '33 due to a great many votes from conservative supporters. However in Mein Kampf, Hitler openly attacked both left wing and right wing politics. It's complicated, but he certainly was not a liberal. He had more conservative views, even though he wasn't a conservative himself.

Your debate is like saying, " Stalin, was he Labour party or Green party?"

Well, neither, you can't just pick two categories and assume that the person you are talking about falls in to one of them. Though Hitler is leaning more to the right, me thinks.

Well, he did hate women and gay people. Also, fascism is an extreme of conservatism whereas communism is an extreme of liberalism, or at least that's how I view it.

Side: conservative

A Liberal could never have done the evil that Hitler perpetuated.

What evidence do you have to support that claim?

Fascism is the radical right. Communism is the radical left. Both are socialism.

Oh my God. You need to educate yourself. That is what is wrong with you cons. You do not know the difference between communism, socialism, fascism, and capitalism. Please do not reply to me until you learn the difference, thanks.
