Some people on social media, are very fond of trying to compare Tony Abbott, as a conservative Prime Minister, to Hitler.
The only possible conservative parts would be Hitler's encouragement of allegiance to and pride for your country. Something that appears to be sadly lacking in some quarters within our political establishment on the far left.
Nazism and other Fascist movements in fact borrowed a lot from the Left; they were about mass movements, they were undeniably socialist, most adopted social Darwinism to varying degrees. All in all they were radical movements that were in no way conservative. Whilst Hitler and his regime 'borrowed' some liberal (meaning our Labor) beliefs it would not be fair to liberals to accuse him of being a total liberal either, at least not in a classical sense.
As for the comparison to Tony Abbott, you may not like what Mr Abbott stands for, that's OK. But to compare Tony Abbott to Hilter, a man who presided over the murder of millions of Jews is not only unbelievably offensive (insensitive and disrespectful) it's political ideologically wrong.
