The German Workers Party was also far right fascists.

The reason that Hitler and Nazis were able to gain power was because the allies put all the weight of world war 1 onto Germany, and that, together was taking on debt that they expected to pay by winning the war, destroyed their economy. Then they took already well established hatred of Jewish people, and incorporated it into the Nazi party. It would be a mistake to assume that hate for Jewish people started with Nazis. It did not. It started 2000 years before that, and prevailed ever since by Christian groups who blamed "The Jews" for the death of Christ. Need I continue with the history lesson?

Being a right wing populist doesnt lead into Nazism naturally. And the wording of Kirk was never about killing anyone. It was about preserving culture and opposing multiculturalism. So you can still call him a cunt, and you would still be right. You dont need the popular buzzwords to make it so. What he was, was bad enough.
