Sorry Liberals, But The Nazis Were Progressive Leftists
« on: September 25, 2022, 10:30:15 AM »
I too was a victim of a public education, and I grew up believing the garbage that Hitler and his thugs were ardent right-wingers. I looked at the name of their party, die National sozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei and stared at that term "sozialistische" and wondered how a so-called "socialist" system could be right-wing when socialists themselves clearly adopt a left-wing agenda?

Lies, lies, and more lies.

It's easier to see the truth now that fascism and Nazism are linked; Mussolini was a turd, but he was Hitler's turd. Hitler seized power as only a socialist can -- he quickly made short work of his political enemies and insisted on the military and others swearing an oath of allegiance to him. Fascism and communism are also linked -- Mussolini was a great admirer of the communist revolution of 1917.

FDR admired Mussolini and other fascists, though you'll never read about that in 10th grade History class.

You’ve probably known someone in your life who was simply full of it, right? A friend of a friend or acquaintance who lied constantly, burning a lot of calories trying to convince people to believe people of something that simply wasn’t so. That is how Democrats are on almost every issue, but there’s one in particular they desperately need to fool people on not only so they can use it as a weapon, but also so they can hide the horrors their political philosophy have committed against the people unfortunate enough to live under their absolute reign.

The real “big lie” is the creator of the concept of a big lie was somehow “right-wing.” The simple truth is every single despotic totalitarian is a left-winger. Under the umbrella of “progressive” lives socialism, communism and fascism. But to hide the reality of what their ideological brethren have committed, Democrats lie and say monsters like Mao, Stalin and Hitler were of the right. This is impossible.

There’s a very simple way to think about this: think of political philosophy as a line with a right and left direction. One side wants a government that does more, that grows in size and scope, and the other wants one with a shrinking, smaller government doing less. Where do all of those “isms” fall on that spectrum? They all feature massive government taxing the hell out of everyone, mandating behavior and regulating lives.

Yet, in an attempt to hide the ultimate nature of their agenda, Democrats and the media would have you believe that, as you down the right side of the political spectrum and government is shrinking, at a certain point government explodes into something gigantic with absolute control over everyone. The conservative belief in individual rights disappears and becomes about collectivism, then it shrinks again as the line slides off to eventual anarchy, which is the absence of government.

How does that work? There is no rational way to ascribe fascism to the right other than deflection. The Nazis were the National SOCIALIST German Workers’ Party, it’s right there in their name. Look up Hitler implemented from a policy perspective and you’ll find a lot of socialism. He was very much a supporter of collectivism, he simply excluded people he hated or needed as scapegoats. Everything else was socialism.

Communism, socialism and fascism differ only slightly, mostly in methods. They fought in the early 20th century not because they were so different, they fought because each wanted to be THE leading philosophy of the progressive movement. They all embraced eugenics – the idea that “undesirable people” should be bred out of existence, to put it in the most basic terms. Democrats in this country did, Nazis in Germany did. Progressives only distanced themselves from fascism and eugenics when World War II happened and it would have hurt them electorally to be associated with fascists. But if you look you can find many prominent progressive politicians saying nice things about fascists, like FDR praising Benito Mussolini.

Quotes like those aren’t hard to find; the truth never is. It’s getting people to realize it after having been lied to their whole lives that’s the hard part. How do you convince someone that they’ve been indoctrinated, brainwasher really, into believing a lie? It’s not easy.

The continues to this day. The newswire service UPI ran a headline this week, “Giorgia Meloni set to become Italy's first far-right leader since Mussolini.” Mussolini, the father of fascism, was of the left. A true “far-right leader” would be someone who embraces individualism. Facts don’t matter, the agenda does.

Here’s a simple way to illustrate my point. The New York Times, one of the hubs in perpetrating this big lie, Tweeting a story about, of all places, Germany this week, wrote, “Battling far-right extremism, Germany has gone further than any other Western democracy to prosecute individuals for what they say online, testing the limits of free speech on the internet.”

Ask yourself a basic question: Which seems more fascistic, writing mean things, no matter how nasty, online from your couch or arresting people who write mean things online from their couch and throwing them in prison? Then ask yourself which party in this country would love little more than doing the exact same thing. Your answer isn’t the “semi-fascists,” they’re the real thing.

How quickly people forget (that or it's being whitewashed), NAZI Germany and the USSR in fact had an alliance and initially jointly invaded Poland. I believe I've also read that Hitler got some ideas about prison labor from the Soviets.

Dinesh d'Souza had a good point about this. People with similar belief systems fight each other all the time; Catholics and Protestants, Sunnis and Shi'ites (and, I would add, Chinese and Vietnamese communists).
