Dangerous tactic. He's absolutely correct, but there's a danger the British electorate, having been sold an absolute lie as to the origins of fascism*, won't be able to draw the connection, and will view it as undignified.
*The Nazi Party: 'The National Socialist German Workers Party.' There's a reason they never give them their full title. Fascism was supported by communists and progressives in the UK all throughout the 20's and into the 30's (they called it 'liberal fascism') and like most modern movements it's underpinned by communist class warfare, undermining individualism in favour of the group, statism and totalitarian narrative control.
**Even in Italy, Mussolini, in his Fascist Manifesto, advocated a minimum wage, pandering to the unions, progressive taxation and lowering the voting age. Despite this, and the right's very long tradition of decentralisation and liberal individualism, even the Oxford English Dictionary pins fascism to the right-wing (then again, like most progressive institutions it hankers after narrative control). There is zero logical basis for doing so, but the narrative has been sold to western society.

Don't be stupid. The EU wasn't around between 1933 and 1945

LoL I cant believe he said that it's quite a profound statement and has made me see Hitler in a different light. He changed though and became a right wing extremist.

He was a still a Socialist. Where the National part comes in is that it was Socialism for the master race only as opposed to Socialism for everyone.
I find it absolutely hilarious when people blame Hitler on socialism. Or use Hitler to demonise socialism. Every other country which flourishes under socialism, and because one mad man ruled under the guise of socialism, you think that discredits the entire poltiical system. Such sound logic there.
