> actual Nazis probably wouldn't borrow leftist phrases like "race consciousness"
The most definitively actual of actual Nazis borrowed leftist phrases like “Socialism” right into the name of the party from which “Nazi” is abbreviated, as well as a lot of other leftist language (while radically recontextualizing the meaning.)
Borrowing language from existing left, right, center, religious, and secular groups, and then rearranging and defining them to create the appearance that the natural endpoint of whatever your existing ideology is is Nazism is what actual Nazis do.

Yeah I don't understand what the original commenter is thinking if he's going to insist that this is actually some sort of centrist joke. I really don't want to assume the worst here.
