Of course the point of this thread is evidently to make some vague philosophic connection between Nazis and Democrats. What kind of children play stupid word games like that?
It's the drivel of Limblobian sycophants taking the para-Right's Eliminationist goals to heart.
Eliminationism is the belief that one's political opponents are "a cancer on the body politic that must be excised — either by separation from the public at large, through censorship or by outright extermination — in order to protect the purity of the nation"First thing to do for the Eliminationist is demonize and dehumanize the perceived adversary; create for the public an Emmanuel Goldstein. One way to do that is to invent histories from whole cloth; another is to take an already-established demon and associate him with the Eliminatee -- thus we get these revisionista fantasies of "Liberal Fascism", "Hitler was a leftist", this cockamamie idea that "leftists = mass murder", and of course while doing all this you're already trying to equate Liberalism with leftism, which has been going on since the Red Scare daze. In the real world of course, Liberals are who invented this country and that's what the fascist Revisionistas want to loot and pervert into a one-party authoritarian State.
-- the ethnic cleansing of political rhetoric; the opposing view is not to be debated, negotiatted or reasoned with, but rather to be entirely exterminated and sterilized from the body politic like so much bacteria.
Ironically, the same thing Hitler tried to do with leftists, socialists, Jews, intellectuals and anyone else who might present any kind of opposing view.
Again the irony in this case is the Eliminationist revisionists are themselves using the same tactics on "the left" and "Liberals" (lumped together as one) as the Nazis did against Jews:
Demonization then -- demonization now... only the technology has changed.
And that demonization is propagated among the unwashed by the malleable minds of people like the OP. At no expense to the propagandists of course; Dittoheads are just sycophantic enough to do it all for free. That's what happens when the authoritarian-minded take their subservient hero-worship role; they follow-the-leader blindly without ever stopping to think if what they're being told makes any sense on planet Earth.
Gullible's Travels....
These historical revisionists are no different from Holocaust deniers. They all lie all the time.
--- and an interesting juxtaposition of two Revisionisms:
-- "Hitler wasn't a bad guy 'cuz the Holocaust never happened!" becomes
-- "Hitler was a bad guy and he was a lefist!"
.... Two mutually-exclusive thoughts, run simultaneously. Orwell warned us about that.-- "Hitler was a bad guy and he was a lefist!"
Or if not run simultaneously, one supercedes the other seamlessly via the same Doublethink Revisionism:
"Eastasia is our ally; we have always been at war with Oceania" ... then the next day:
"Oceania is our ally; we have always been at war with Eastasia"
"Oceania is our ally; we have always been at war with Eastasia"
"Hitler was never a bad guy, he didn't kill Jews ... then the next day:
"Hitler was always a bad guy, a leftist, killed Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Shintoists, animists...."
"Hitler was always a bad guy, a leftist, killed Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Shintoists, animists...."
It's the price of being a Liar. When they traffic in self-deception to delude themselves, they forget the rest of us aren't playing that game.
