The question is, did the Nazis know they would fail and pick that title just to troll us?
They wanted to trick the German people into thinking that they would help them. Since the socialists actually cared about the people.
Excellent marketing and PR.
Same reason why Pol Pot was a MLM. Excellent optics that buy you support to then accomplish your real goals.
dont think I'd call Pol Pot an MLM
He was not. But he called himself one, that’s the point I was making.
We all know his positions were different, but his optics were focused around using Maoism to his personal advantage.
A Maoist, not a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. No one really called themselves an MLM til the 80s, when the PCP/Shining Path officially "synthesized" it.
True, but wouldn’t a Maoist by extension be a Marxist-Leninist? MLM certainly had its connotations because of groups like the shining path, but I meant that more in the way that he used legends from Marxist-Leninism, and Maoism to draw support.
