The fascist far left have always had to lie to survive. They've always been on the wrong side of history, and the only way they can remain viable is by gaslighting people on a full-time basis. For decades, their biggest lie has been that the supposedly pro-freedom side of the political spectrum, imbued in the precepts of individual liberty and limited government, is somehow connected to totalitarian collectivist regimes that displayed the exact opposite of those values.
Anyone who has debated leftists for the past few decades has been subjected to the same bluff abuse in their trying to maintain that nonsensical lie. But the close similarities between fascism and communism have been obvious for at least 75 years:
...
1. Democrats and the Nazis were/are obsessed with gun confiscation.
2. Democrats and Nazis are collectivists.
3. The overarching philosophy of both Democrats and Nazis is centralized control.
The individualists on the pro-freedom side of the political spectrum favor liberty and limited government. The collectivists of the anti-liberty side of the political spectrum favor control and unlimited government. This can easily be seen in the Democrat's obsession with controlling not only basic liberties, but also gas stoves, dishwashers, and air-conditioners.
...
4. The centralized collectivist control philosophy of the Democrat and Nazi parties is epitomized in the phrase "the Common Good" (Gemeinnutz vor Eigennutz in the original German).
...
6. Democrats and Nazis are proponents of single-party systems.
...
8. Democrats are striving for a totalitarian state structure and a single party like the Nazis.
...
With with modern surveillance technology and tyrannical "innovations" like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the Democrats could make the Nazis look like amateurs.

Gemeinnutz vor Eigennutz
I translate as “Common Good before Private Good.”
If the Nazis had had the RINOs, they’d probably still be in power.
Wait, I think they are?
Never give up your weapons like the brits did, folks. The democrat party is the modern nazi party.
"Socialism: Ideas so good they have to be mandated by force."
"Lying" needs to be added to that.
It almost succeeded in the 1930’s without digital propaganda and modern weapons. The calculation is with today’s digital propaganda and modern weapons it’ll finish the job.
The Nazi Party and the Soviet Communist Party, all rolled up in one.
1. Targeting young people with their message
2. Idolatry of a ‘cult figure’ to lead the ‘people’
Not to be confused with Deeznutz.
Best analysis yet. The Democrats act like Fascists. Yet they accuse Republicans of being Facists. Here is the definition for those who are too ignorant to realize the difference:
From American Heritage: 1) A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2) A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
3) Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Everything that Democrats are trying to achieve are fascistic. ANTIFA is not anti-fascist, but is fastistic itself.
The independent German voter willingly bought into the lies.
Just like the independent voter in the U.S.
In my opinion, the RATS are more aligned with the Communist Party. Research will show how many members of Congress receive funds from the commies.
Two of my relatives died as political prisoners at Dachau. Resisting the Nazi Party cost you your life. Is that what you mean by “willingly buying into the lies”?
Hayek's treatment of Communism vs National Socialism is as valid today as it was then.
I said VOTED. As in the nazi were not yet in power.
"Socialism: Ideas so good they have to be mandated by force."
"Lying" needs to be added to that.
Ditto for the clot shot -- A vaccine so effective it had to be mandated with the threat of losing your job if you didn't take it.
Kudos for speaking clearly of the similarities. "Take one for the team" was the yuk-yuk clever pants version of "der Gemeinnutz." And the late night comics sold is as if a joke.
That today's "modern" reimagining of the socialist-fascist message has a cast with skin color and "gender" diversity does not make it any less sinister that the Goebbels lies.
And it fills the airways and print media with messaging designed to "nudge" and "manufacture consent" where there is none.
