.@richardlking. Well it *would* have been a valid and important point had I used this argument in my article. But I did not, which makes both you and .@fascinatorfun look like prize dingbats for attacking an article which you plainly have not read. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Lots of people retweeted this who did not even know (as .@fascinatorfun also obviously did not know) that I had not used this argument in my article. Which just goes to show that people attack without reading.Not very creditable. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This, from the intelligent leftist Roy Greenslade, is worth reading, and contains a big surprise: 'Don't damn the Daily Mail for its fascist flirtation 80 years ago'. https://t.co/J0J64L1GXX — PolitiTweet.org

.@warrenmrc. You are saying I am factually incorrect? Please give details. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@tomthegrinch. Er. Racial bigotry is not confined to the far right, and exists on the Left. Look up Karl Marx's anti-Semitsm some time, or Stalin's anti-Jewish purges, or the famous 1920s slogan 'Workers of the World Unite and Fight for a White South Africa'. — PolitiTweet.org

You mean, .@damonlinker, you didn't like it when Jonah Goldberg said it, and you don't like it now. You know perfectly well that it has some force, but it upsets your (rather simple) world view, which you do not wish to modify. So you attack me. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@clickoncopy. In what way am I an 'apologist for fascism' , you illiterate ninny? If you could only *read* you wouldn't make such errors. If you could only *think*, you wouldn't make them public. — PolitiTweet.org

A longer version of my case that the Nazis were in fact left-wing racists, for those who have got above basic reading levels : https://t.co/Zf97tfQR7h — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

And what would that establish, in this argument , @capndisco? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@garymartincork . But it is not well made. The article, for instance, makes no mention of the NSDAP's actual name. That is not my argument. Please read what I said before siding with a critic who also hasn't read it. https://t.co/jk2Sh2uRwI — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Well, it isn't actually, .@grogheuse It does not overcome the close and often amicable co-operation between Nazi Germany and the USSR from 1939 to 1941, including a joint victory parade over Poland and prisoner swaps between the Gestapo and the NKVD. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Do you really think, , @huntthebismarck, that I post stuff on Twitter *expecting* the applause of the mob? Best example is the Covid affair where, for being more or less completely right, I was ceaselessly insulted and repeatedly accused of killing people. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

You mean it has been *attacked* .@huntthebismarck. I've yet to see a coherent rebuttal, let alone a refutation - just shouty insults from people who, like you, have not read it . — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@louiserawauthor. This is Margarete Buber-Neumann https://t.co/joOPDDeHlp , a German Communist, who was handed over to the Gestapo by Stalin's NKVD secret police in 1940. Does this mean Stalin was not left-wing? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@Louiserawauthor. Stalin murdered many German Communists who had gone to Moscow to seek safety. Does this establish that Stalin was not left-wing? Hitler murdered about 1,000 SA men in the Night of the Long Knives in 1934. Does that make Hitler left-wing? Please try to think. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ottoenglish. Sweetie. I lived in Moscow for more than two years. There was a big memorial on the airport road, showing how close the Germans got to the centre of Moscow. I'm aware of it. But so what? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Observation, reading, visiting and reporting from lots of countries, living abroad, returning home, experience, that sort of thing. How about you .@jpgcrowley? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

But I did, @legendofcheese. They are in the article linked to the tweet which you attack. You have not read it. I cannot help that. But you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Actually .@tomthegrinch my point is rather more that the assumed impenetrable barricade between Nazi and Communist was not in fact as total as people like to think. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I keep saying it '.@aaronbastani. I have not actually said 'Hitler was a socialist'. You have imagined that. I have said 'The Nazis were left-wing racists'. The two statements are distinct. I'd be obliged if you'd address the one I made, rather than the one I didn't. — PolitiTweet.org
