Fascism and the Right
« on: December 31, 2011, 08:04:53 AM »
How can people write articles like this

Quote
And while Left-wing intellectuals were drawn to the supposedly utopian promise of the Soviet leader Josef Stalin — who turned out to be a brutal tyrant — thousands of ordinary people flocked to the banners of the British Union of Fascists, founded in the autumn of 1932 by the former Labour maverick Sir Oswald Mosley. Never before or since has the far Right commanded greater British support — a worrying reminder of the potential for economic frustration to turn into demagogic resentment....

Today, Barack Obama cuts a similarly impotent, indecisive and isolationist figure. The difference is that in 1932, one of the greatest statesmen of the century, the Democratic politician Franklin D. Roosevelt, was waiting in the wings. Today, American voters looking for alternatives are confronted only with a bizarre gaggle of has-beens, inadequates and weirdos, otherwise known as the Republican presidential field. And to anybody who cares about the future of the Western world, the prospect of President Ron Paul or President Newt Gingrich is frankly spine-chilling.

Has anyone ever heard an explanation as to why Hitler and Mussolini belong to the politcal  Right? The article even admits that Hitler's party was the National Socialist Party, and doesn't even bat an eye. Somehow Hitler's socialists, were just like the  American far right- they wanted limited government, self-reliance, freedom, inalienable rights, and the rule of law. Seriusly how do these people keep their heads from exploding?

Oh right, we just say we want that, but really we are racist, jew hating totalitarians who only pretned we want smaller government.. And the Alternative isthe OWScrowd who are openly anti-semitic and openly want larger, more intrusive government.

Consider the source, this asshole fancies himself a historian, but even his peers look upon him as a crank.

Anything he writes should be first used to wipe bottoms, after that it holds zero value.
