Denial of his opposition to Trump and his support of Egg McMuffin doesn’t change reality.
Socialism at its root is and always must be about the collective. Collective "injustice" in all of its forms. In opposition to a "safety net" for individuals, socialism looks for "groups" of victims and groups of villains. Socialism is at its heart a system that dismisses rights of the one for the gain of the many. Once those the in-group deems vermin, cockroaches, greedy, privileged or problems — anything is justifiable to provide "social justice" to the collective.
In western society, traditional western liberalism stand against the collective mob and as a protector of the individual. Once one understands why socialism is defined as a "stepping stone," you will begin to understand why the story usually ends in mass graves of enemies or starvation. Create a collective at the expense of the individual and it becomes a playground for those who seek power and riches at any cost, justifying every evil they commit in the name of the collective they are supposedly defending.
You claimed he worked to get Hillary elected. That is a total falsehood, as you well know. I called you out for repeating this falsehood, and you moved the goalposts.
Every bit of the German people’s lives were to be controlled by the Nazi government.
Its as simple as that.
Too bad your dislike of Beck blinds you to the fact of a well researched and source documented article. Excellent analysis and kudos to Beck for having written it. Give credit where credit is due, but by your comment I doubt you are capable of doing so. That’s unfortunate.
Ping
Opposing Trump and supporting Egg McMuffin helped Hillary.
“Glenn did everything he could to get Hillary elected.”
Also agreed.
All: I am NOT disagreeing with the content of Beck’s “lesson”.
The broken clock is right twice a day, etc, but I am not especially surprised to see his knee-jerk defenders here, because of course, Glenn Beck is a #neverTrump open borders Hussein Head who would have preferred BJ’s wife to Trump, just to spite America.
JUST like the #neverTrump “consistent conservative” Cruzbots HERE!
Marx was jewish.
So was Mussolini - the guy who really started fascism and was actually Hitler’s mentor......
NOPE!
It was a completely false statement.
It’s been proven false over and over and over. The guy knows it’s false, as proven by the mention of Evan McMullin in a later post. (I know he was critical of McMullin, too, BTW.)
Did it?
The basis for your argument is that it was a “binary” choice. Either Trump or Clinton, no other option.
That’s the basis of the argument that supporting any candidate other than Trump helped Hillary, isn’t it?
Yes, that is the way it works in a two party system.
I have taken plenty of flak for refusing to vote for McCain.
Whatever your views are on Glenn Beck, you have to give him credit for correctly identifying the Nazis as far-left socialists that aren’t much different from the Communists. That they’re even called right wing at all, let alone far-right, is the result of the Frankfurt School and Stalin pulling a CYA.
If there’s one minor objection I have to the article, it’s Glenn Beck’s claim that Marx never envisioned a perfect form of socialism. He actually did: When creating Communism, he specifically intended a gorier remake of Robespierre’s Reign of Terror. In other words, his “perfect socialism” is literally hell on Earth, where people butcher others for a sick laugh. Here’s his quotes:
“There is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.”-Marx, Karl, “The Victory of the Counterrevolution in Vienna”, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, November 1848.
“Once we are at the helm, we shall be obliged to reenact the year 1793…”-Marx-Engels Gesamt-Ausgabe, vol. vi pp 503–505, final issue of Neue Rheinische Zeitung, May 18, 1849. Quoted in Thomas G. West, Marx and Lenin, The Claremont Institute
“The vengeance of the people will break forth with such ferocity that not even the year 1793 enables us to envisage it.”-Marx-Engels Gesamt-Ausgabe, vol. vi pp 503–505, final issue of Neue Rheinische Zeitung, May 18, 1849. Quoted in Thomas G. West, Marx and Lenin, The Claremont Institute
At the very least, that’s the closest he’s ever gotten to defining what “perfect socialism” is.
