People like you are the reason that socialism and communism continue to be attempted. "Do it again, only harder! Surely it will work this time, if only we put the RIGHT people into power". Well, that, and the craving for power over people.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-84965660567537896982018-06-26T21:36:06.549-05:002018-06-26T21:36:06.549-05:00A full third of the Nazi's political platform ...A full third of the Nazi's political platform was textbook socialism. <br />And they implemented those planks as soon as they took power. <br /><br />In Europe, right wing vs. left wing came from the French Revolution. <br />The sticking point wasn't about who controlled the factors of production. Outside of the UK, there was broad-based consensus that the State controlled the factors of production. <br />The left/right divide was over the aristocracy.<br />The Nazis were fully socialist, and promptly divested the nobility of their capital. But the nobility of Germany retained high status, and were honored for their generations of service to the German State and the German people. <br />This made the Nazi's "right-wing" in the European sense. <br />Add in a few generations of prominent useful idiots desperate to confuse the issue, and you get people declaring with a straight face that the German Socialist Worker's Party was somehow not Socialist. (Spoiler: They were vehemently socialist.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822511906907583597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-26366718830824313602018-06-26T18:22:10.287-05:002018-06-26T18:22:10.287-05:00Just a few points here.
1. Socialism != Communism...Just a few points here.<br /><br />1. Socialism != Communism. It baffles me every time when people begin to talk or write about the horrors of socialism and what they describe is communism. Socialism if used in moderation is IMO essential to modern society. But only insofar that those that REALLY can't work are taken care of. In other words, children, disabled people and the old who can't work anymore. No more, no less. And that the government regulates the market to establish a level playing field (meaning that no Rockefeller can send his goons to break up the equipment - and workers - of his competitors). The rest is the duty of the market economy.<br /><br />2. As I see it, the difference between the left and right extremists are more or less just philosophical. And the philosophies of the left more or less demand that everyone is equal (and the left demagogues use that to demand a nanny state) while the right insists that there is a hierarchy of groups, with group x (and that is strangely always the group that the leaders of a right wing association belong to, funny that right?) at the very top and then group y as being at fault (the right demagogues use that to demand a autocracy, aka nanny state). Usually you can replace the word group with race, but not always, as sexual orientation, religion and so on have been used as well. In this context the Nazis where very much right extremists. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that these are the differences between right normal and left normal. The extremist version has barely anything in common with the normal version. And much less with the people.<br /><br />3. I carefully use the word extremists here, as they are at best loosely connected to the philosophy they pretend to follow. Extremists are essentially the proof that Terry Pratchett was right with his description of mob IQ. They would believe that the moon is made out of cheese if the right person (with the right kind of association) tells them that, but one person declared as enemy of their group couldn't convince them that water is wet.MadMcAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189731235105279817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-35210688208275978652018-06-26T17:02:01.273-05:002018-06-26T17:02:01.273-05:00MadMcAl:

That effort started during the war, and was ramped up greatly afterwards. It was so effective that most people here believe it, as you do. You have been fooled. The media and schools, twin propaganda arms.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-45364497424006757762018-06-26T15:57:42.146-05:002018-06-26T15:57:42.146-05:00MadMcAl. The Nazis were National Socialists. The...MadMcAl. The Nazis were National Socialists. They believed the Government was the source of all direction and control. One can make money, and make objects to make money, but the Government still controls what you make and who you sell it to (which, unfortunately, makes us in the USA... National Socialists. Yes, I admit it, our government is a national socialist form of government. Rule by bureaucrat.)<br /><br />What the Nazis were was far righter (but still left) of the Reds and other international communist and international socialist groups that were in existence at the time. The far right Germans were the ones that sat back and gleefully or warily watched the internationalists get their asses handed to them by the nationalists, with the hope that the two groups of socialists would beat each other up and end up weak.<br /><br />Socialism as a political concept has been part of the Germanic soul since at least the medieval era. Constant wars and struggles have been fought by various 'people's movements' all intent on various spread the wealth programs. Nazi-ism was just the most shocking of these groups to appear. Socialism still existed after the Nazis were forcefully punched in the snout, leading us to the socialistic crapfest of Merkle's party.<br /><br />Fig Leaf? No. It was, just like the Democrat or American Socialist Parties, definitely a political system of "All for the top tier, none for the proles." (As witnessed by our fine American socialist Bernie Sanders, who has managed in the last two years to amass over $1M per year while owning 3 houses. Yet he wants people who make $200k to donate a good portion of their money and assets to the 'less fortunate.' All for me and none for thee philosophy.)(Or by the past president leaving office richer than when he went in.)<br /><br />Same with Fascism, in Italy. Yes, it was right wing, for Italy, at that time, to an extent. But... still very socialist and left of center on the political spectrum.<br /><br />FDR and his administration did a very good job of nationally socializing our nation during his mishandling of the Great Depression, but that's a whole nother blogpost worth of talking points, arguments and counter-arguments. <br />Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-5809521471388981222018-06-26T13:34:06.710-05:002018-06-26T13:34:06.710-05:00While I agree with most of what you wrote here, yo...While I agree with most of what you wrote here, you made an error with the NSDAP (the Nazi party for the uninformed).<br />It is of course true that they had socialist in their name, but that was merely a fig leaf to pander to the more impressionable left leaning idiots in the Weimar Republic. <br />Despite the inclusion they where pretty much right extremists.<br /><br />Of course the important word here is extremist, and that, more than their right leaning defined their actions. That may be the reason why so many modern left extremist groups seem so very familiar in their actions.MadMcAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189731235105279817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-8505747031052967562018-06-26T09:47:16.839-05:002018-06-26T09:47:16.839-05:00It's part of a propaganda campaign.

The talk today isn't about all the warning signs & ignored public posting it's about disarming America. That's just another part to the campaign.<br /><br />This is wide spread, they are pulling out pictures & stories of things the last administration did and spreading wide spread blame for this action on Trump.<br /><br />With the MSM is 90% owned by those who are doing this to America it's way easier than it would have been 20 years ago.<br /><br />Did you see where Mrs Clinton is out bad mouthing the Electoral College? Without the Electoral College the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area & SoCal would control the Presidential elections.<br />I've no doubt that the MSM can contol those urban areas, they did it in the last election.<br /><br />America is in the middle of a propaganda attack to change how things are.<br /><br />Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-16124934942846624992018-06-26T09:03:27.685-05:002018-06-26T09:03:27.685-05:00Wow!

I always want to say to her, " I see Roe v Wade was struck down, then say, uh, wait; it hasn't been, like you said it would be. And where are those camps you said homosexuals would be put in? There aren't any, are there? So maybe you should take a deep breath and recognize that you were wrong. " I am afraid she would have a screaming, spitting fit of madness and do one of us harm. Yet otherwise she is an intelligent person.<br /> <br />How do people get like that? There are things in the world that bother me, but unless it obviously affects the future of mankind I don't let it control me. Why do these leftists do it? Any reasonable person would declare that a mental illness.urbane legendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699110758399432397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46299961883573474712018-06-26T06:17:12.510-05:002018-06-26T06:17:12.510-05:00I fear that this encouraged threatening and ostrac...I fear that this encouraged threatening and ostracizing behavior will boil over into shattering violence (a la the baseball field shootings). Maxine Waters - - the lunatic Democratic representative from the 43rd Congressional District in California - - continues to prove why she is unfit for office by encouraging such insane behavior. More threats from the "tolerant leftists"/socialists. Patience is a virtue...up to a point. We'll see what happens when conservatives run out of it.Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045832954199589918noreply@blogger.com
