oh, just the usual ahistorical "the Nazi party's unabbreviated name had the word Sozialist in it, therefore Socialism=Nazism=Eeeeeevil" mantra.  never mind the feral facts... that the Nazis in fact destroyed communist and socialist parties, magazines, libraries, and newsletters, busted unions, etc.;  that much of the heroic underground resistance in France, Italy, and even w/in Germany was undertaken by communist groups;  or that no small number of those resistance cells were subsequently betrayed to the Nazis/Fascists just before the Allied victory... by the Allies, who were already working on the "containing Communism" strategy.  I suppose the fact that one of the words in the unabbreviated name of the DNC is "Democratic" means that they actually represent democracy?  :-)
