Lol I see you lot are continuing to ignore the part where I said fascistic. FASCISTIC =/= FASCIST.
"Fascistic" is a meaningless term, because to the Left it means "whatever does not conform to
my particular brand of socialism". So to Communists, democracy is "fascistic", monarchy is "fascistic", traditionalism is "fascistic", nationalism is "fascistic", and so on. Including brands of Communism they don't like as well. Josip Broz Tito purged significant elements of Croatian Communist Party because they were "fascists", while at the same time letting actual "fascists" (as in, Serbian extremist nationalists) join the ranks of his movement.
Either they are fascist, or they are not. "Fascistic" is a buzzword with no meaning.
And you can absolutely have fascism without socialism, did Hitler suddenly stop being fascist after he purged the socialists from the party and seized absolute power?
Why did Hitler purge socialists from the Nazi party?
Hitler never was fascist, he was Nazi. NSDAP - Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. Or in English,
National Socialist German Worker's Party.
And Nazi Germany didn't suddenly stop being socialist state because Hitler "purged socialists". Because he didn't. He purged a
faction of Nazi Party, but socialists consistantly do internal purges - Tito also purged Partisans from people
he saw as enemies, including several factions of socialists. Stalin purged Communist Party from Trotskytes. Pol Pot purged... 25% of Cambodian population. He would have purged
more if Vietnamese hadn't stopped him.
Are you going to say none of them were socialists, simply because they murdered other socialists?
So Hitler decided to eliminate Rohm and the Strasserists, in order to consolidate his own power - eliminating them allayed the fears of the Germany Army and the upper classes of German society, and removed rivals to his own position. He didn't automatically stop being a fascist after he did this.
You cannot stop being something you never were in the first place. Hitler never was a fascist, how could he stop being one?
And he sure as hell didn't stop being a socialist either.
