You’re a real thinker....
Correct. Can’t think their way out of a paper bag.
Adolph was always anti Socialist but also always anti Semitic.
But-both of them were cracked and monomaniacal tyrants.
Bottom line-Fascism AND Socialism/Communism are also BOTH dehumanizing dictatorial systems.
What I realized quite some time ago, is that those on the left are basically against personal responsibility. All their desires for policy stem from just that.
The only real differences among them are degrees of this Utopian fantasy.
individualist
collectivist
is the citizen primary? or the state?
the US Constitution is an individualist document
please explain to me how a citizen is primary in a fascist state
Fascism: Socialism built around a “nation” of ethnically similar people. Litte interest in “proselytizing” beyond the volk.
Marxist Communism: International Socialism that “transcends” ethnic groupings. Relentlessly seeks to force communism on everyone, and detests nationalism.
Think of these as the Right and Left Wings of Socialism — with both on the Left of the full political spectrum.
Unfortunately, the United States now manifests some of the characteristics of fascism: Management of the economy via regulation. Militarism. Rigged elections. Nationalized health and welfare schemes. Etc. Because of our multiethnic population, fascism doesn’t fit the US situation, so fascist is just short for “racist who wants law and order”.
That’s good you a history teacher?.
China today. Once they realized hard core Maoism was taking them back to the dark ages.
“Mussolini’s fascism was having the government cooperate with companies to control the populace - sound familiar?
Fascism, socialism, communism, actually make no diff. Those names are distractions.
The common goal of all systems is totalitarian power in the state.”
.
The nazis were considered to be just another left wing organization from the 1920’s through the 1940’s. During the 1950s McCarthy period a frankfurt school critical theorist named adorno started calling hitler a conservative rightist so that therefor americans who were conservative were categorized as being in the same sphere as hitler.
The new york times picked up on that formula. And that was that. They successfully pulled off a blood libel against conservatives by a mere shift in the meanings of language.
No, merely a History student.
A good one I recall some in high school in study hall they had 3 or 4 books on the table.
