Just to clarify this again, I never claimed that you or anyone else here
is a nazi.

(etc.)

Not sure though how these definitions are supposed to match drug lords
like Mr. Escobar or socially disadvantaged and/or outcast people
("lumpenproletariat").

Unfortunately this is not a mere theory.
In case you want to learn about nazi-speech, there are sources available
where you can read about people being classified as "parasites" and the
like, e.g.

http://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/holo.html

Of course there's also tons of contemporary material, but I
won't provide any links pointing there. In case you really want to read
that kind of stuff, it is certainly easy to discover.

I am aware that there may be subtle differences between the english and
german tone of a word like "parasite" and acknowledged that in my first
post.

Since (as several people have already ponited out) this discussion has
gone far off the rail, I consider this thread, as far as I am concerned,
as "closed".

Best regards

Michael
