Thousands of Communists and Neo-Nazis clash in streets of Hamburg
AFP ^ | June 4, 2012 | AFP

Posted on 06/04/2012 10:43:48 PM PDT by JerseyanExile

Clashes between neo-Nazi demonstrators and far-left counter-protesters overnight in the northern German port city of Hamburg left 38 police officers injured, police said Sunday.

Security forces were pelted with rocks, bottles and fireworks and responded by turning water canon and pepper spray on the rioting groups who turned out at a march by the far right.

At least two parked cars and a police cruiser were set ablaze.

Police, who deployed 4,400 officers to keep the peace between the two sides, took 63 demonstrators into custody and formally arrested another 17.

Around 3,500 people, mainly from the hard left, turned out to block a procession of about 700 right-wing skinheads, while more than 10,000 people attended a separate, peaceful rally against neo-Nazis in front of city hall.

Gee? This is odd. Every reference to 'far-right' is followed by 'Neo-Nazi' and/or 'Skinhead'. But when the 'far-left' is mentioned there's nary a peep about them being Communists.

You also never see any documentaries about the communist movement, about how they are behind the so-called "anti-war" (actually, anti-US military, pro-Communist) movement. Even the doc on the Weather Underground had them pictured as being basically noble souls who perhaps went a bit too far in their attempt to stop an evil American war. No mention that they were pro-Communist and actually met and received assistance from the enemy. Meanwhile, there are dozens and dozens of investigative docs on white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, as comparatively insignificant as they are. Idiot Sean Hannity rarely referred to Bill Ayers or the WU as being communist, even though they themselves proudly stated that they were revolutionaries. He only described them as being "domestic terrorists". Bad enough, but it misses a major component of what was happening then and today. In fact, the only time I can't recall him alluding to it, and I watched and listened to him a lot during the year prior to the election, was when he quoted Ayers' "Bring the Revolution Home..."

Larry Grathwohl:

"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

Obama’s Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008

Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.

The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:

Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

Obama’s Communist Mentor
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 18, 2008

excerpt...

"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations."

Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:

"Obama’s victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."

...rioting groups who turned out at a march by the far right.

Stinkin' lying press. There is no "right," let alone "far right" in communism nor naziism. NAZI - "National SOCIALIST."

But the evil, commie, nazi press just keeps on repeating the big lie.

'Bill Ayers'.
You had to go and post about him didn't you. Now I'll have to take an extra Valium.

Out of all the 'radicals, no one like *him* and his (cough) 'wife', Bernadine 'Skank' Dohrn gets my blood boiling. Those two Commie Maggots are about 25 miles ESE of me and I'm paying for Bill's friggen pension and health insurance benefits with my state tax money.

I can't recall if they were at Grant Park on Aug 26 of '68 when they rioted that night with the CPD but if so, I'm sorry they weren't some of the 'hippies' who I hit with my car -- on Police Orders to: "GO!, GO!" :-) -- when they tried to block traffic on Michigan Ave during the day time (I always obey the Police).

And watching those pukes earlier on that day waving those VC, NVA, Chi-Com and USSR flags and hearing the Commie 'leaders' spewing their crap on a PA system made me want to go in there and kick some commie ass. But I was 'slightly out numbered'. Plus the Cops had Grant Park cordoned off on Balbo Ave where I was first watching them from.

Anyway, now when I read the stories of the typical weekend carnage in Chi, I always kind of hope to see their names when its in-near their area. (yeah, shame on me, that's 'bad'. /s) But they're likely hiding behind their Mansion's tripe locked Security Doors and Iron Gates when the sun goes down. So them getting mugged, accidentally shot by gang cross-fire, or 'flash-mobbed' isn't likely.

Actually, they are competing branches of the Leftist embrace of Karl Marx's idiotic view of historic inevitability. It is a conflict over who will have power, when the "inevitable" fantasy is accomplished.

For a detailed analysis of just how far from actually being rightists, the Nazis were:

The Lies Of Socialism.

Of course those battling in the streets of Hamburg are not necessarily the brightest Leftists. One suspects that many could not define just what they believe in; but taking to the streets for a cause appeals to a certain type of personality. Other people only demonstrate reluctantly.

Sound familiar?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Nazis believed in Communism, but for only one race.

You are right to the extent that Hitler called for a"classless/casteless" Germany (note the English subtitles, if you are able to view a copy of the 1934 propaganda film, "Triumph of The Will"), but the Nazis used the term race, merely as a propaganda vehicle, also. In their definitions, the "Aryan Race" was conveniently defined as more a state of mind than genetic. (Again, see The Lies Of Socialism.)

Remember, Germany is less homogeneous than several of her neighbors. Nazis were more interested in power than in actually understanding the diverse nature of Man.

My Chapter on "The Lies Of Socialism" goes into how the Left has used the lies about where the Nazis stood in the ideological spectrum. The mythical view of the Nazis has been a convenient "bugaboo" to demonize people who actually want to study the considerable differences that do exist between human types. Thus promoting the "one world"efforts.

This has enabled those who promote the fantasy that peoples are interchangeable--the fantasy that has led to the looney immigration policies, here & in Western Europe--to intimidate most opposition.

The only difference between a Nazi and a Communist is that one is a Nationalist Socialist and the other is an International Socialist.

There is nothing “right wing” about Nazi-ism. Their party platform is all about nationalism, racism, and socialism.

I once asked a college professor “What was right wing about the Nazis?”

And she answered “They wanted to kill people.”

That seems to be all they have to go on.

“Thousands of Communists and Neo-Nazis clash in streets of Hamburg”

vs
