I always liked Gen. Hochstadters the best.
True.
Howard Caine didn’t get enough credit.
The over the top Gestapo guy.
Very little difference (liberty-wise or lack of) between socialism, communism or fascism. But you can wrap up national socialism in one word.
Thank you! And hey De Blowhard, HELL NO!
Could have had a career in opera, or as a violinist, or as a pianist. His father, Otto, made it as a conductor.
if government control would work better, there’d at least be something to discuss
but, alas, government screws up so much of what it touches
Nationalism is good in the hands of a few self serving politicians?
I loved when he would shout, “WHO IS THIS MAN?!” when Hogan got under his skin. Really one of the best shows of all time.
We've only seen this dozens of times over the world.
All the wealth & resources of the country are concentrated in the hands of just 1 man and his family, who has the rest of the nation under the muzzle of the guns pointed at their heads!
Ah, yes! Thanks for that clarification!
Hogan’s deserved an ending of some kind. Something involving getting Klink, Schultz, Burkhalter, and maybe Hochstedder out as the Nazis try to get rid of evidence.
That’s TV for you.
I doubt a decent movie could be made now.
The so called talent of today isn’t that good.
Maybe start with cable news networks, they’re virtually state-run media as it is so that would be easy. Then newspapers, Bezos don’t need a blog anyway. Then social media, Facebook and Twitter would be thrilled to become federal employees I’m sure. Then we could do state-run propaganda outlets, aka Sony, Disney, Comcast, Netflix,, and the other movie makers...
Yeah, your leftie pals would love it Bill, hey they’d get President’s Day off!
A very talented troupe. I think many of them were embarrassed by the show later on, but they need not have been.
All of the “Nazis” in Hogan’s Heroes were played by Jewish actors.
As everyone knows, at their core, Democrats are fascists. As I have said in earlier threads, I see Democrats, bureaucrats (swamp creatures) who are eagerly searching, probing, for ways to expand the authoritarian position of all levels of government.
Cloward-Piven: create such a crisis that the people will demand socialism to solve the problem.
I was at the Secretary of Socialists (Mich) this week getting a license plate for a used car I bought. 3-1/2 hours later I was done. I felt like I was in a gulag waiting in line for a piece of bread. There were at least 5 people who were very ticked off and voiced their anger. The worst one was so angry, I thought that he might come back and go “postal”. These places should start thinking of armed guards...at least to protect the innocent workers. I realize national socialists don’t care. Let a crisis further an agenda. Very Hegelian.
Yeah, it worked out really well for Venezuela!
Incompetence, theft, corruption and wreckage of their SOLE INDUSTRY, since they had put their party loyalist in charge of managing high tech oil equipment which they had no training or management experience!
Most of what was left was quickly busted or stolen anyways.
statist central planning + narrow statist political incentives and decisions + statist bureaucratic management + state ownership & state control + statist monopoly = shortages + economic chaos + destruction + inefficiencies + waste + malinvestment + capital decumulation = disaster & catastrophe & misery
