“Nazism:
"Alignment with Islam”
A lot of this falls into economic policy. The Nazis didn’t have a coherent or consistent economic policy. In the first half of WWII even military needs fought with populist programs. They had the word socialist in the party title for political reasons. One of the first things they did when they took power was purge all of the actual socialists from the party.
Identitarians is either a misunderstanding or intentional lie. The word has two different meanings. In Europe it has a far right meaning for politics based around dislike for immigration and preserving the white race/culture. In the US and more broadly it means analyzing worldviews through the lens of identity. Nazi are the first, though they existed before the word was coined. Modern socialists are the second.
Socialists believe in religious freedom. This makes the usual conflation if hatred for the current government of Israel for antisemitism. The Nazis allied with some Muslims because it suited their war goals. Supporting Muslim groups put pressure on the British colonies in the middle east. Muslims in Nazi occupied regions not directly allied with the Nazis were treated as another unwanted religion.
I snorted in amusement at the complete disconnect from reality here, and then re-read it with wingnut-colored glasses. Aside from “alignment with Islam” which I’m baffled by, this whole thing relies on a form of conceptual equivocation, for lack of a better term. The entries on these lists are independently “correct from a certain point of view” (sort of correct but exaggerated or a bit off, or commonly believed by the far right but are false) but their counterparts on the other list are referring to something very different, and in some cases are essentially opposites to each other. This comparison is as superficial as it gets, to the point of being entirely meaningless.
The Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan. A member of the centre-left Labour Party. He is pro-LGBT. The fact he’s not only a devout Muslim but is a good friend of the person on the right:
