I believe we all hate America.

I can't help but laugh when I (or another fellow conservative) get called a Nazi or a Fascist.

Aren't Nazism and Fascism on the far left of the political spectrum?

it's a bad idea for idiots to learn political philosophy from other idiots on youtube.

Yeah, it's why they went after all the leftists: lefty socialists and communists and Democrats

But I thought that they went after Jews, JWs, Catholics, Protestants and Gypsies

How is fascism any different from socialism?

You may argue that they're on opposite sides of the spectrum; but how are they any different? Unless we were to connect both ends, in which case communism would be considered right wing, as long as you kept going far enough.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Conservatives, for the most part, seek conformity, they disdain diversity and dissent. Consequently they seek punitive measures against those in society whom they perceive as a threat to the ‘social order.’

Conservatives seek to deny same-sex couples access to marriage, they seek to deny women their right to privacy with regard to family planning, they wish to single-out public assistance applicants for unwarranted drug testing, they seek to destroy unions and place working Americans at the mercy of their employers, they attempt to deny immigrants their due process rights, they attempt to conjoin church and state by codifying religious dogma, and they wish to enlarge the authority of the state by granting it ever greater police powers in an effort to ‘fight crime’ and ‘terrorism.’

And that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg with regard to the social indictment of the American right.

Conservatives are not ‘fascists’ nor are they ‘Nazis,’ but they do share the roots of the same political family tree with both, as conservatives are indeed hostile toward those considered different, immoral, or outside the norm.

Nazi were leftists

Facsism is leftist

But not exclusively.

The “War on Terror” that defined and preoccupied Republicans during the Bush era brought with it not only massive government growth and debt, but an unprecedented expansion of extra-constitutional state power, symbolized most famously by the Patriot Act. In the name of national security, government officials could begin wiretapping phones, hacking into email accounts, prying into business records and spying on citizens—all without a warrant and at government officials’ own discretion. Defenders say the Patriot Act did what needed to be done after 9/11. Critics say it did away with the 4th amendment."

Fascism is an offshoot of socialism.

The primary difference is that fascism allows private ownership of property under massive government regulation and taxation.

I'm a libertarian, so I have nothing against homosexuals getting married; although I may not agree with their beliefs.

And how is drug testing unwarranted for public assistance applicants? I have to do it when I'm applying for a job, so why shouldn't they do it for getting a free check?

Oh, and God forbid an employer fires an unproductive employee..

So why would an offshoot of socialism land on the far-right of the political spectrum, where socialism is such a bad word?

Fascism is top down. It provisions public money for private industry. Socialism is sort of the opposite. Government takes over most of the services done by private corporations.

It's kind of easy to think of it this way. Fascism is socialism for the rich.

Mussolini called it "corporatism".

That's probably accurate.

 

[Pheonixops]

No, it's not.

Nope.

Actually, Nazis were fanatical right wing Christians.

You miss the whole holocaust thing?

Fascism (pron.: /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.[1][2] Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that seeks the mass mobilization of the national community through discipline, indoctrination, and physical training.

Nazism (German: Nationalsozialismus; English long form National Socialism) was the ideology of the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany.[1][2][3][4] It is a variety of fascism that incorporates biological racism and antisemitism.[5] Nazism used elements of the far-right racist Völkisch German nationalist movement and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture

Both of those seem to give the state quite a bit of power; a lot like an monarchy/oligarchy or totalitarian dictatorship. Last I checked, the right is all about a smaller government. And we all know the extreme right is anarchy, which is no government at all.

Who is the last right wing President in this country where government got smaller? Bush? Reagan?

So would this make a better political spectrum? Where liberals aren't socialists, and conservatives aren't fascists?

(Nazi Party Platform)


7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens

11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.

13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).

14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.

15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare


20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.

21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.

[Locke11_21]

hazlnut flatulated:


You realize your fake spectrum makes no sense. As the word liberal means freedom, free-thinking, open minded.

Before the radical left-socialists desecrated the original meaning of the word liberal, you are indeed correct. Now though, the correct terminology for the the type of liberal you are speaking of would be classic liberal. Norman Thomas, six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America stated the following:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened." ​

The socialist movement in this country has gone back and forth between "progressive" and "liberal", whenever one of the words becomes a detriment to their cause, they switch their label.


The original definition of liberal has been completely destroyed by the socialists. The term you are looking for is classic liberal, and you sur are not a classic liberal, nor is anyone in the Democrat party, nor is anyone on the left. Your side is anti-free speech...just look at how many times your side has tried to get Rush Limbaugh banned. And, why...your side is so open-minded, you have a dictator in the White House that just goes around congress and his brown skirt, Nazi Pelosi who constantly advocates it.

When you vote Democrat, you vote for losing your freedoms and liberties.

You can't just reinvent political science and not get called out as an IDIOT

All you have to do is post to prove you are an idiot.

 

[francoHFW]

Communism and fascism are both totalitarian (NOT socialism, RW MORONS).But fascism keeps the corporations, like the Nazis did (THAT'S WHY NAZIS ARE RW AND FASCIST DUH).

Jeebus fecking ...Beck and Rush have produced a generation of loudmouth ignorami. The world is aghast.

Liberal Fascism is total drivel- this is a brand new theory for Pub dupe tin foilers ONLY.
