Boscoe, your lack of knowledge on the subject of history is beyond belief, or a direct result of gross misunderstanding of the facts.
The Brownshirts were a paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party, which admittedly was National Socialist German Workers’ Party, which while including the word 'socialist' was anything but.
For one thing, socialism promotes the ownership of businesses and factories by the people, however, Hitler advocated ownership of Industries by the state, under a combination of Nationalism and Fascism.
The only reason the name of the party was changed from "The German Workers Party" to the National Socialist German Workers' Party was to appeal to the socialists and communists active in Germany at the time, and after Hitler came to power, he immediately had socialist and communist members of the party executed, in a little incident known as the "Night of the Long Knives" which was a purge of the Browncoats as well as socialist and communist members of the party, as well as homosexuals and other 'sexual deviants."
Now, as such, Fascism and Nationalism are conservative movements with the idea that by maintaining a strong national identity, based on either birth or race, as well as an extreme reaction to outside influences, again such as race or religion and often exemplified with a almost fanatic opposition of a specific culture or ethnic group(s).
The only commonality between Socialism and Nationalist Fascism is the fact that both groups immediately curtail civil rights immediately upon coming to power, and often accompanied by some core base religious tendency or created mythology. In Hitler's case, it was the Aryan race.
The Aryan myth as part of the Nazi movement, and by extension, some of the white supremacy movements in the states, has fascinated me.
The Aryans were a culture that originated in the Indus river valley on the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. While Hitler's myth agreed on the place of origin, it extended somehow to mean that they moved west into Europe and became a blond, blue eyed super race.
However the time period from the time the culture originated until the first settlements in the European subcontinent was not long enough for the genetic mutations he was claiming to occur.
Hypochondria DNA evidence shows that 90% of present day Europeans having more of a genetic connection with the middle east and central Africa than the Indian subcontinent.
Of the other 10%, the majority show links to North Africa due to the Moor control of Spain, and with the rest having central Asian/Mongolian links due to the expansion of the Mongol empire and the forced migration of people out of Central Asia trying to escape them and the Huns.
In other words, the Aryans never evolved into blond blue eyed people. In fact all evidence shows they eventually migrated into Southeast Asia then to Indochina finally coastal China and was probably the first settlers of the Japanese islands.
Every bit of which I learned in a podunk country High School in west Texas, in text books that were pretty much the same damn books used around the country.
However, I have to admit, given the conservative tendency to white wash history, as evidences by the Republican dominated State School board in Texas who decided that slavery was not a prime cause of the civil war, the conservative dominated education board in Virginia that made the same claim, followed by countless other GOP dominated states, you confusion is far from surprising.
Far be it for the right to see the connection some of their more extreme members have with one of the most infamous dictators in modern history.
Liberals actually have a closer connection with Lenin and his followers, and some of Stalin's earlier programs, before his paranoia took over and he started his purges.
