Then they came for us...

[Photonic]

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Who will speak for us when they come, I ask you?

When are they coming for the deadbeats and freeloaders?

[Steelplate]

Yeah... when they come with tanks and drones... good luck with the Remingtons.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Let's take them before they take us.

 

[WatertheTree]

When are they coming for the deadbeats and freeloaders?

wal-mart would be a good place to start. Most people who work for wal mart are forced on the social safety net because they refuse to pay a living wage.

Let's take them before they take us.

Damn straight! Load up your cars. Get all the guns you can. Everyone up to Montana! We'll make our last stand there. There are a lot of us up there already!

C'mon guys! Let's GO!

wal-mart would be a good place to start. Most people who work for wal mart are forced on the social safety net because they refuse to pay a living wage.

So...when the job market improves, the folks who work there will move on?
Is that it?

How did Wal-Mart find workers prior to the recession?

Hypnotized?
shanghaied?
Calvinists who desire to be punished?
Just stupid?


Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people worldwide and is the largest private employer.
Maybe it's a decent job with excellent prospects.
Perhaps you'd like to rethink your premise.

 

[Mr Natural]

Who are "they"?

Georgie...it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

Lock 'n' load, Georgie!

You know... just to be a jerk... Funny how Martin Niemöller spoke of how they came for the "COMMUNISTS", then the "TRADE UNIONS".

But those on the right still want to describe the Nazi's as left wing.

Did you know that "Nazis" is short for National Socialists?

Did you know that the communists of Soviet Russia had no problem killing communists?

 

[Steelplate]

Yeah... but they were really Corporatists who were in collusion with industry and the banking sector.

The "socialist" moniker was to get the working class people to be passive....nothing more.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Who will speak for us when they come, I ask you?

Every American who understands the meaning of the Constitution and the rule of law.

Of course the best strategy is to keep things from getting that bad, and not allowing the judiciary to be corrupted and co-opted as during the Nazi regime. The best way to accomplish that is keeping republicans out of the WH.

But those on the right still want to describe the Nazi's as left wing.

lol - Anyone who believes such nonsense merely exhibits his ignorance.

Not hardly.

As is true of every totalitarian movement, it was about primacy of government over the rights of the individual.

"Corporatists who were in collusion with industry and the banking sector."

You'd be a real threat if you had an education...
...the Nazis, the Fascists of Italy and the New Dealers of FDR had the same programs...and they were corporatists.

1. In 1933, Fascism was celebrating its eleventh year in power, in Italy, and the election of the National Socialists in Germany represented an unmitigated defeat for [classical] liberal democracy in Europe’s largest industrialized nation.

a. At the beginning of the same month, FDR was inaugurated as President. And before Congress went into recess it granted powers to Roosevelt unprecedented in peacetime. From Congressional hearings, 1973: “Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency.” Emergency Powers Statutes (Senate Report 93-549)

2. The National Socialists hailed these ‘relief measures’ in ways you will recognize:
a. May 11, 1933, the Nazi newspaper Volkischer Beobachter, (People’s Observer): “Roosevelt’s Dictatorial Recovery Measures.”

b. And on January 17, 1934, “We, too, as German National Socialists are looking toward America…” and “Roosevelt’s adoption of National Socialist strains of thought in his economic and social policies” comparable to Hitler’s own dictatorial ‘Fuhrerprinzip.’

c. And “[Roosevelt], too demands that collective good be put before individual self-interest. Many passages in his book ‘Looking Forward’ could have been written by a National Socialist….one can assume that he feels considerable affinity with the National Socialist philosophy.”

d. The paper also refers to “…the fictional appearance of democracy.”

3. In 1938, American ambassador Hugh R. Wilson reported to FDR his conversations with Hitler: “Hitler then said that he had watched with interest the methods which you, Mr. President, have been attempting to adopt for the United States…. I added that you were very much interested in certain phases of the sociological effort, notably for the youth and workmen, which is being made in Germany…” cited in “Franklin D. Roosevelt and Foreign Affairs,” vol.2, p. 27.

4. The propaganda of the New Deal (“malefactors of great wealth”) to the contrary, FDR imply endeavored to re-create the corporatism of the last war. The New Dealers invited one industry after another to write the codes under which they would be regulated. Even more aggressive, the National Recovery Administration forced industries to fix prices and in other ways to collude with one another: the NRA approved 557 basic and 189 supplementary codes, covering almost 95% of all industrial workers.

a. The intention was for big business to get bigger, and the little guy to be squeezed out: for example, the owners of the big chain movie houses wrote the codes that almost ran the independents out of business (even though 13,571 of the 18,321 movie theatres were independently owned). This in the name of ‘efficiency’ and ‘progress.’

b. "New Deal bureaucrats studied Mussolini’s corporatism closely. "From “Fortune” magazine: ‘The Corporate state is to Mussolini what the New Deal is to Roosevelt.’(July 1934)


You have been seriously mislead.

Show me your link that you copied from.

No. They didn't. This claim is idiotic.

That's why I want to see the link.
