The First Strike to Protect Capitalism

[Wry Catcher]

antelope, there is great difference between a liberal, a progressive and the far left. Communist Governments were mostly totalitarian, as were most fascist Governments - both are a form of government which is authoritarian and anathema to progressives, liberals and Libertarians.

Calling Sen. Sanders a communist tells the reader more about you than about the Senator. You offer nothing of substance and are a captious critic.

Then why did the most noted progressives of the era give fascist dictators their overwhelming support? Below is just a small number of quotes showing the progressive support for the totalitarian governmental systems.

• H. G. Wells, one of the most influential progressives of the 20th century, said in 1932 that progressives must become “liberal fascists” and “enlightened Nazis.” Regarding totalitarianism, he stated: “I have never been able to escape altogether from its relentless logic.” Calling for a “‘Phoenix Rebirth’ of Liberalism” under the umbrella of “Liberal Fascism,” Wells said: “I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis.”
• The poet Wallace Stevens pronounced himself “pro-Mussolini personally.”
• The eminent historian Charles Beard wrote of Mussolini’s efforts: “Beyond question, an amazing experiment is being made [in Italy], an experiment in reconciling individualism and socialism.”
• Muckraking journalists almost universally admired Mussolini. Lincoln Steffens, for one, said that Italian fascism made Western democracy, by comparison, look like a system run by “petty persons with petty purposes.” Mussolini, Steffens proclaimed reverently, had been “formed” by God “out of the rib of Italy.”
• McClure’s Magazine founder Samuel McClure, an important figure in the muckraking movement, described Italian fascism as “a great step forward and the first new ideal in government since the founding of the American Republic.”
• After having vistited Italy and interviewed Mussolini in 1926, the American humorist Will Rogers, who was informally dubbed “Ambassador-at-Large of the United States” by the National Press Club, said of the fascist dictator: “I’m pretty high on that bird.” “Dictator form of government is the greatest form of government,” Rogers wrote, “that is, if you have the right dictator.”
• Reporter Ida Tarbell was deeply impressed by Mussolini's attitudes regarding labor, affectionately dubbing him “a despot with a dimple.”
• NAACP co-founder W. E. B. DuBois saw National Socialism as a worthy model for economic organization. The establishment of the Nazi dictatorship in Germany, he wrote, had been “absolutely necessary to get the state in order.” In 1937 DuBois stated: “there is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.”
• FDR adviser Rexford Guy Tugwell said of Italian fascism: “It's the cleanest, neatest, most efficiently operating piece of social machinery I've ever seen. It makes me envious.”
• New Republic editor George Soule, who avidly supported FDR, noted approvingly that the Roosevelt administration was “trying out the economics of fascism.”
• Playwright George Bernard Shaw hailed Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini as the world’s great “progressive” leaders because they “did things,” unlike the leaders of those “putrefying corpses” called parliamentary democracies.

Time marches on, and first impressions fade as more and more facts be known.

Let's look at today, the fringe conservative movement has very loud supporters for an ideology which I've defined as, I got mine, fuck the rest of you".

In other words a complete rejection of a Social Contract, democracy and stewardship of our planets soil, air and water.

The devil is in the details and one needs to watch the feet of those who want to lead, not their lips.

Yes indeed. Time marches on and for some reason insane people who call themselves progressives seem to think they can replay human history and somehow get a different result. Progressivism has never, and will never work. The simple problem is mankind. Mankind is petty, and greedy, and the majority of them are lazy to boot. So, when someone comes along who is not lazy, and actually betters his or her position through hard work the lazy pricks get all bent out of shape and start whining about how life is unfair.

And it is. Life is life. It is no better or worse than YOU are willing to make it. All progressives have ever managed to do is drop everyone but a very small percentage of the population down to a level of equal misery and murder huge numbers of people in that quest for the lowest common denominator.

A very small picture ^^^ focused not on all parts and elements of the human condition; focused on I got mine, fuck the rest of you? Maybe. so lets consider mankind.

As can be seen in this link, "I got mine, fuck the rest of you" has consequences and those who got theirs, got theirs taken away when the rest got tired of being fucked over.

So, if we learn from history, this new iteration of conservatism may have unforeseen consequences

dear, it was the left wing that spied for Stalin and Hitler and gave Stalin the bomb. It was the left wing that marched in May Day parades all over America. It is the left wing that supports Obama and the openly communist Sanders

Do you understand now??

Did I really write "their" instead of "tier"? Mea culpa

Whose to argue if the owner finds the 12% spread to be fair?

"Social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live."

Calling Sen. Sanders a communist.

dear he's an open socialist, and socialism is a step on route to communism. Why do you think our liberals spied for Stalin and Hitler?

Norman Thomas quotes:
(Socialist candidate for president)

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.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The most recent strike to protect capitalism was fired by China when it recently switched to capitalism, saved another 60 million from slowly starving to death, and eliminated 40% of the entire planet's poverty!

A liberal is too stupid to grasp the miracle and of too little character to accept his deadly and very obvious ignorance. What is the difference between Hitler fighting it out to the last dead German and a liberal fighting it out with the same impotent dead arguments over and over?

Let's look at today, the fringe conservative movement has very loud supporters for an ideology which I've defined as, I got mine, fuck the rest of you".

In other words a complete rejection of a Social Contract, democracy and stewardship of our planets soil, air and water.

The devil is in the details and one needs to watch the feet of those who want to lead, not their lips.

You're a liar, it's all you have. Where's this social contract, other than between your ears? You can define anything any dishonest way you want but that doesn't mean you aren't a clown.

It's a short book, but one which opened many minds. Your's is locked in a box of dogma with no way out, or so it seems. Ignorance can be cured, stupidity cannot.

If the former, here's some help:

SparkNotes: The Social Contract: Summary

I don't think you have any clue what a contract is. You calling someone closed minded, stupid and ignorant is funny as hell.

Thanks for sharing, I was pretty sure you wouldn't understand, but the chance was worth the effort. I do agree with a small part of your comment, that being, "I don't think".

You're just a dumb asshole on the internet, pretending otherwise isn't working.

Gee, need a tissue? Seems my observation that you wouldn't understand was spot on. Clearly, calling me or anyone "just a dumb asshole on the internet" as a rebuttal proves my point.

The most recent strike to protect capitalism was fired by China when it recently switched to capitalism, saved another 60 million from slowly starving to death, and eliminated 40% of the entire planet's poverty!

A liberal is too stupid to grasp the miracle and of too little character to accept his deadly and very obvious ignorance. What is the difference between Hitler fighting it out to the last dead German and a liberal fighting it out with the same impotent dead arguments over and over?

In re paragraph #1:

China’s economy: Caught in a vicious, stubborn cycle - Fortune

In re #2

Sentence #1: Straw man + Ad hominem

Sentence #2: Word Salad.

Crusader - he who never served - Frank thanked you for this post, that would make any self respecting person question what they did wrong and try to repair it.

That you can't is clear, convincing and beyond a shadow of a doubt proof that calling others dumb assholes in rebuttal is the work of a person uneducated (beyond the third grade) and at least brainwashed.

Think about it ... oops. Mea culpa, that's like asking an elephant to fly.

I agree with Ice because he's right, Freddo.

We find your "I'm Smart! Not like everybody says -- like dumb! I'm Smart and yer stew pit!" act hilarious

You keep harping on the fact that I didn't serve, OK I was too young for Vietnam then too old for anything after. But, I'll say this, I grew up in the Bronx and went to school in the South Bronx in the mid-70's and probably faced hairer situations that you did during your service. How did you serve anyway
