I'm glad you liked one of my paragraphs. We agree on this important aspect of Moore's outlook--though I assume you still have not seen the film.

It's not I who connect Moore with the socialists, but David Walsh. As for the National Socialist Party, those were another kind of socialist, shall we say? I don't think there's anything particularly ironic about mentioning Nazis and socialists of the usual kind in the same paragraphs. As the "Word IQ" website discussion of Nazism (http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Nazi) puts it, "Established socialist movements did not view the Nazis as socialists and argued that the Nazis were thinly disguised reactionaries."
