Oh boy. Not the old "aaachtchuly the left are the real nazis!" trope again? How long until you start misinterpreting the cause of the civil war?

Hitler was incredibly anti-liberal, authoritarian, pro-business and pro-military and drew most of his initial support from the middle classes and farmers. The socialist name was an attempt to draw lower class workers to the party who typically voted for the actual communist party.

Violent protesters exist on both sides, sure. However only one side agitates its members into such a fury that they mow down counter-protesters with cars. The parallels to Sturmabteilung are absolutely ridiculous.

Also, gun control did not aide in "hauling off the jews"[1]
