Obama, Hitler, And Exploding The Biggest Lie In History

In Argentina, everyone acknowledges that fascism, state capitalism, corporatism – whatever – reflects very leftwing ideology. Eva Peron remains a liberal icon. President Obama’s Fabian policies (Keynesian economics) promise similar ends. His proposed infrastructure bank is just the latest gyration of corporatism. Why then are fascists consistently portrayed as conservatives?

Obama reminds me of Peron.

Fascism is an amorphous ideology mobilizing an entire nation (Mussolini, Franco and Peron) or race (Hitler) for a common purpose. Leaders of industry, science, education, the arts and politics combine to shepherd society in an all encompassing quest. Hitler’s premise was a pure Aryan Germany capable of dominating Europe.

While he feinted right, Hitler and Stalin were natural bedfellows. Hitler mimicked Lenin’s path to totalitarian tyranny, parlaying crises into power. Nazis despised Marxists not over ideology, but because they had betrayed Germany in World War I and Nazis found it unconscionable that German communists yielded fealty to Slavs in Moscow.

I know Communists sympathized with Nazis before World War II. In America, Communists had rallies when Hitler and Stalin signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1939.

The Nazis separated church and state to marginalize religion’s influence. Hitler despised biblical morality and bourgeois (middle class) values. Crosses were ripped from the public square in favor of swastikas. Prayer in school was abolished and worship confined to churches. Church youth groups were forcibly absorbed into the Hitler Youth.

Hitler hated Christians, especially Catholics because it had non-Aryans.

I remember hearing some documentary about some red folk group, I think The Weavers, who had some song celebrating the pact between Hitler and Stalin and then when the pact was broken the recalled the album and either took that song off completely or rewrote it to make Hitler the antagonist.

I don't think Pete Seegar ever admitted being a Communist, but he was/is.
