Did you know that Nazi is, period, derogatory, slang for NASDP?
Did you know that NASDP stands for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. That is German for National Socialist German Worker's Party.
Because if you didn't know those three facts, you can be convinced that the Nazis are right wing.
That lets a parallel be drawn between any right wing idea and the evils of Nazi Germany.
That is on purpose.
Something else that gets blurred is the parallels between fascism and communism. The break really is as simple as nationalism. Fascists are nationalists. Communists believe that the nation-state should be abolished and abandoned for international communism.
There are also strong parallels between labor unions and socialism.
History can be eye opening and terrifying.
One reason this ruse can be pulled is socialism is treated as a single political idea when it's really a family of them.
Communism and fascism are both socialist. The Nazis were socialists.
Those three branches of socialism have murdered how many people to date?
That alone should disqualify their teachings and ideas.
The idea that we should all look out for each other gives of warm fuzzy feelings.
The problem is the implementation always leads to starvation and murder.
Socialism is a utopian scheme; as such it's impossible to achieve.
If it was possible, it would have happened and been a shining beacon to the rest of the world to emulate.
Hint: Shining beacons don't need walls to keep people in. They need walls to keep people out.
Leftists get big mad when you tell them Mussolini was a Socialist before founding the Fascists because he felt the Socialists were weak sauce.
ReplyDeleteAlmost everybody who screams and howls that everybody and everything they don't like is "Fascist" (D--g H-lv-rs-n, to take one example) couldn't pass a basic exam about what Fascists believed or what Fascism actually was to save their useless lives. During the 1930s, the Communist Parties in the west wormed their way into academia, and even non-communists in that world began to adopt that worldview, which has never left them. The Communists called everybody they didn't like "fascists," and that usage spread. Even by 1944, George Orwell (a socialist, but an honest, democratic socialist) noted that "fascist" had come to mean "someone I don't like."
