Fascism,..... Does this sound familiar? Does, or has America had "Fascist Leaders"?

[August West]

A great deal of our education in this country has been severely red-washed. Meaning that the horrors of Marx and Communism have been scrubbed out of our curriculum.

It is that way because our gatekeepers in government have adopted the school learning system as promoted by Paulo Freire.

Paulo Freire and the Critical Theft of Education

In this episode, James takes up the ninth chapter of The Politics of Education, wherein Freire describes what he calls “Humanistic Education.”

Capitalism doesn`t have any horror stories? Those too have been scrubbed. An estimated 150-200 million died in India unnecessarily under Capitalist rule. Capitalists had their way in Africa too.

Capitalism simply means the market is free from outside interference
A simple example is you need as repair to your car. You meet a professional mechanic who names a fix and price, and you find it acceptable and agree he will work on your car for a particular sum of money.

 

[Captain Creeper]

When "The Party", gives practically complete obedience to it's "Leader", with very little objection, and that "Leader" publicly presents a "Righteousness" in every action "he, or she" takes, even when that action is absolutely wrong, on a continuing basis, for the Nation/ The People,......

The Italian Origin of Fascism


The words fascism and fascist have long been associated with the Fascisti of Benito Mussolini and the fasces, the bundle of rods with an ax among them, which the Fascisti used as a symbol of the Italian people united and obedient to the single authority of the state. However, Mussolini did not introduce the word fascista (plural fascisti) with the 1919 organization of the Fasci di combattimento (“combat groups”), nor did the fasces have any direct connection with the origin of fascista. In Italian, the word fascio (plural fasci) means literally “bundle,” and figuratively “group.” From at least 1872 fascio was used in the names of labor and agrarian unions, and in October 1914 a political coalition was formed called the Fascio rivoluzionario d’ azione internazionalista (“revolutionary group for international action”), which advocated Italian participation in World War I on the side of the Allies. Members of this group were first called fascisti in January 1915. Although Mussolini was closely associated with this interventionist movement, it had no direct link with the post-war Fasci di combattimento, and in 1919 the word fascista was already in political circulation. It is, however, to the Fascisti in their 1919 incarnation—who seized power in Italy three years later—that we owe the current customary meanings of our words fascism and fascist.

From the first hours of Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, the propagandists on both sides of the conflict portrayed the struggle in stark, Manichaean language. The totalitarian nature of both regimes made this inevitable. On one side stood Hitler, fascism, the myth of German supremacy; on the other side stood Stalin, communism, and the international proletarian revolution. —

Consider what happened during the crisis of global fascism. At first, even the truth about Hitler was inconvenient. Many in the west hoped the danger would simply go away. —

Not at all. Fascism has a structure. The USA in no way, no matter who has been president, conforms to the elements making up fascism. Fascism has both a king and a prime minister. Fascism included the king being in charge. He for example in the one case thus far, fired the prime minister. It seems a reckless use of the definition of fascism.

Where is it located in the capitalist system for the system to be perfectly used? Can one locate the perfect socialist system. The USA is often admitted to by Democrats to include socialism. Is it a prefect system?

Provide proof of that example.

I'm thinking that if you do, we'll see that it was not capitalism that caused it, but a form of socialism.

 

[Mac1958]

Trump has done nothing but divide people since his first term, hypocrite. Look up the definition of fascism and then look in the mirror. You’re a fellow traveler.

He says and/or does something every single day that is more divisive than any other President, ever. And now he has done it to our former global friends and they are turning away from us. It's not even about issues per se. It's about the behaviors, the ugliness and the immorality of it.

The flock somehow doesn't see the behavior, because they think it's "the truth".

These are the thought processes of children. It's why he and they are so sympatico.

History has shown you plenty of proof. And it's going to show you even more. You don't even know what socialism is.

half a million Jews lived in Germany in the 1930s...

but 6 million were killed in the Holocaust...


nice math....

You forgot that Hitler went into many country's and railroaded them to death camps or killed them in place.
Your numbers are incorrect.

 

[sartre play]

It's Truly Sad, & Shocking, that in Today's America, where Data is easily obtainable,.... That "Truth" is rarely, jointly honored by both Liberals, & Conservatives.

When people Ignore, or deny an evil/wrongdoing/ corruption, just to keep the "Image" of their "Hero/Party" clean & appealing, so as to attract followers,..............

Then those people have become a "Divided People", far more easily controlled, & conquered.

True, the hate divide is costing the whole country.
Nothing wrong with being a Republican or a Democrat
We need to work on understanding that No political party has All the right answers.
Just like NO one person knows everything.

Capitalism simply means the market is free from outside interference

[IM2]

We are not in a situation where both sides are equally culpable for the problem we are currently facing. The reason why we're here is exactly because people try doing that.

Democrats get hammered because they try to compromise with Republicans when they are the majority. But when Republicans are the majority, they don't compromise.

Who is really bringing the hate in this country? Responding angrily to hate is not the same thing. It's time many of us stop trying to make it the same thing.

Neither party is perfect, but to claim that basically both are the same is wrong.
