    Hitler hated that name and killed all the protosocialist party members during the night of the long knives

      If he hated it then why didn’t he change it? Who would have questioned him, the guy had nearly unreigned power and could have easily changed it. I never said Hitler was a socialist. He was just selfish (among other unsavory things).

      Regardless, since this is quite offtopic I will refrain from posting further here. Perhaps if a future topic arises we may meet again in that thread.

        When they changed the name, Hitler wasn’t in power yet. By the time they became in power, the name stuck.
