Hmm. I am not sure where to start but I shall attemp to live by the rest of you post that is, like the rest of us, shaking our heads at how we have come to the point of active conflict on our streets.
 
As to the above, I initially thought you were riffing on the National Socialist name but I think there are misconceptions behind what you are saying.
 
My first question would be how you define socialist, there are many but I am not sure many of them would include Hitler and the nazis beyond the inclusion of the actual word. You will, I think, agree you judge people not by what they call themselves but how they act? I am amazed that you can say nazis are socialist and so are many on the left. In America I am not sure many on the political left would call themselves socialist, I am almost certain most nazis would not define themselves as such.
 
To me a socialist, and I class myself as one, looks for a society based on equality of opportunity, where no one is denied the basics of a decent life and everyone has access to the levers of power. A socialist state would also prioritise labour (those who work and create) over capital (those who inherit wealth). I don't think the nazis in Germany sought any of those principles, nor do many of the groups currently described as nazi.
 
To me a nazi looks for a society based on race, where some are superior and more deserving than others. Nazis appeal to the working class by blaming outsiders for the deficiencies in their lives and defining those outsiders as the enemy. Most nazi organisations are based on personality leaders with no real way of getting rid of them outside of political assassination. A nazi government is authoritarian and restrictive.
 
I think it is easier to locate Trump closer to the latter than the former, regardless of labels.

Yesterday was a good day. A. was in the neighborhood, and there was fika, lunch, slight sightseeing, and a looong walk. 

Trigonometry, baby!

Sound of can opener.

I can do that! I'm better at Duck than Portuguese.

Those subtitles work even better on the little doge on teh trian.

Sounds reasonable.

The walls of Constantinople are impressive.  Hadrian's Wall couldn't stop my nine-year-old.

My avocados are offended that you say this about them.

Nope. Not at all. Probably lost in the Outback. Send help.

It says something about my attitude when there's a method named "SearchAndDestroy" and it returns a list named "BurnThemBurnThem".

Perhaps it's colitis?
