According to Joseph Goebbels in an official exposition of the ideology, the logic behind the synthesis of Nationalism and Socialism as represented in the name, was to "counter the Internationalism of Marxism with the nationalism of a German Socialism".
In Preussentum und Sozialismus ("Prussiandom and Socialism", 1919), Spengler described socialism outside of a class conflict perspective and said "The meaning of socialism is that life is controlled not by the opposition between rich and poor, but by the rank that achievement and talent bestow. That is our freedom, freedom from the economic despotism of the individual."[53] Spengler claimed that socialistic Prussian characteristics existed across Germany that included creativity, discipline, concern for the greater good, productivity, and self-sacrifice.[54] Spengler's definition of socialism did not advocate change in property relations.[53] Spengler denounced Marxism for seeking to train the proletariat to "expropriate the expropriator", the capitalist, and then to let them live a life of leisure on this expropriation.[55] He claimed that "Marxism is the capitalism of the working class" and not true socialism.[55] True socialism according to Spengler would be in the form of corporatism, stating that "local corporate bodies organized according to the importance of each occupation to the people as a whole; higher representation in stages up to a supreme council of the state; mandates revocable at any time; no organized parties, no professional politicians, no periodic elections."[56] In Preussentum und Sozialismus Spengler prescribed war as a necessity, saying "War is the eternal form of higher human existence and states exist for war: they are the expression of the will to war."[57] Spengler's conception of socialism and a number of his political views were shared by the Nazis as well as the Conservative Revolutionary movement.[53]
"Unfortunately, like so many Tea Baggers who like to toss the word socialism and communism around like rice at a wedding, they have no clue about the historical contexts of the words they're using. Can it get any dumber than this? Perhaps, if we include Jonah Goldberg.
The truth is that Adolf Hitler, the head of the National Socialist German Workers Party, despised everything that remotely resembled Marxism, socialism, communism and liberalism (even democracy). It's a known fact that Hitler actually regretted having used the word 'socialist' in the party name. Furthermore, when he came into power in the 30s, he quickly destroyed both the German Communist Party and the “true” socialist party at the time, the Social Democratic Party. His hatred towards these political systems was clearly documented in Mein Kampf."
Who are these teabaggers you keep talking about? I don't know that party or who you speak of. I thought you were a Tea Bagger. Am I getting the definition confused? I can tell you right now that I strongly support the Tea Party but I am definitely NOT a Teabagger. You might want to look up the definition before using that word anymore. I think you are way off here.

Really, Viking? Are you saying that this is not a teabagger?
Just because on person decided to wear Tea Bags to express his anger at TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY doesn't make us Teabaggers any more that Barney Frank makes you all Co-- Suc----! Scruffy.
Because this isn't in the Ring, you are going to have to figure out the words yourself.
