  • Purging the more socialist elements (among others) makes me think of this

    Beefsteak Nazi (German: Rindersteak-Nazi),[1][2] or “Roast-beef Nazi”, was a term used in Nazi Germany to describe communists and socialists who joined the Nazi Party. Munich-born American historian Konrad Heiden was one of the first to document this phenomenon in his 1936 book Hitler: A Biography, remarking that in the Sturmabteilung (Brownshirts, SA) ranks there were “large numbers of Communists and Social Democrats” and that “many of the storm troops were called ‘beefsteaks’ – brown outside and red within”.[3] The switching of political parties was at times so common that SA men would jest that “[i]n our storm troop there are three Nazis, but we shall soon have spewed them out”.
