White Supremacists are in such insignificant numbers it really doesn't matter…
You Really need to pick a scarier boogie man

Of course it matters to some who are determined to not let happen here what happened in Germany.

Hitlers socialism is what happened to Germany, you're thinking of the wrong side of things.
Socialism is the enemy of individuality and any sort of freedom… Fact

Hitler was far more fascist than socialist.

Really the same difference, socialism was the very name of Hitler's party. He acted far more left than anything else.

NO HE DID NOT act more socialist than fascist! THAT is simply bonkers!

That's just more evidence how some here will say anything at all, no matter how absurd, to bolster their failed positions.

Just as pointing to "socialist" being what Nazi's called themselves as evidence they were socialist does.

They were socialist like North Korea is Democratic.

Hitler was all about the collective, that's what socialism is too. **** the collective… keep your socialism to yourselves

He didn't say, "Not someone like Donald Trump..."

He said, "Somebody like Donald Trump..."

Why did you insert the word, "NOT" in there when the Nazi didn't??

YOu think he said, or meant to say this?

You are claiming that the nazi considers giving your daughter to a jew to be evidence of being "more capable"?



That really does not make sense to me. More likely if he did not say, "not", he meant to.

The era the statues were erected were not to commemorate the South's best Traitors to the United States of America...they were put up to intimidate black people during the Jim Crow era, where black people were kept from voting and new laws were created to imprison them, and laws written to take the right to vote away from prisoners who always had the right to vote in prison before the civil war if white.... and segregation etc etc etc

History shows they were not put up, for any kind of goodness or commemoration in a good sense of an alleged war hero or heritage.

That's just a fact.

so WHY is keeping these statues up, when they were placed where they are for nefarious and evil reasons, so important? Makes no sense to me???

They belong in a Museum, to commemorate History, with a lot more details.

I am fascinated. The "SPECIFIC" reason for putting up a statue of a general like Robert
E Lee was to "INTIMIDATE BLACKs......." I am not DENYING your allegation----it just seems
silly to me...... You got anything to support your allegation? Laws removing the right to
vote from felons were created SPECIFICALLY to target blacks? I assume that would be sometime
in the mid 1800s-----you got something to support that allegation?. I am not denying the fact that
blacks were oppressed in the south

Read up on The Lost Cause....it was a well organized propaganda campaign to re-write history in the South.

You're not quoting the guy verbatim.

He did not say, "Not someone like Donald Trump," as you falsely claim.

ROBERT E. LEE FACTS:

• Was asked by Abraham Lincoln to Lead The North in The Civil War. Declined because he would be forced to fight against Virginia (his home state) and his own neighbors and friends.
• He and his wife conducted an Illegal School for Black Children ran out of HIS OWN HOME, teaching them reading and writing in blatant violation of Virginia Law daring Virginia Law Enforcement to stop them.
• Robert E. Lee paid to smuggle as many slaves as he could out of Virginia and paid passage for them to Liberia. Robert E. Lee is considered one of the founders of Liberia. A Free State for Former American Slaves in Africa.
• He ended The Civil War early when he had the manpower and supplies to fight 3 more years for the good of the country, and devoted the rest of his life to activism for the reconciliation of The North and South.

wrong!


The Myth: Adolf Hitler, starter of World War 2 in Europe and driving force behind the Holocaust, was a socialist.

The Truth: Hitler hated socialism and communism and worked to destroy these ideologies. Nazism, confused as it was, was based on race, and fundamentally different from class focused socialism.

Hitler as Conservative Weapon
Twenty-first-century commentators like to attack left leaning policies by calling them socialist, and occasionally follow this up by explaining how Hitler, the mass murdering dictator around whom the twentieth century pivoted, was a socialist himself.


There’s no way anyone can, or ever should, defend Hitler, and so things like health-care reform are equated with something terrible, a Nazi regime which sought to conquer an empire and commit several genocides. The problem is, this is a distortion of history.

----------

Hitler as the Scourge of Socialism
Richard Evans, in his magisterial three volume history of Nazi Germany, is quite clear on whether Hitler was a socialist: “…it would be wrong to see Nazism as a form of, or an outgrowth of, socialism.” (The Coming of the Third Reich, Evans, p. 173). Not only was Hitler not a socialist himself, nor a communist, but he actually hated these ideologies and did his utmost to eradicate them. At first this involved organizing bands of thugs to attack socialists in the street, but grew into invading Russia, in part to enslave the population and earn ‘living ‘ room for Germans, and in part to wipe out communism and ‘Bolshevism’.




The key element here is what Hitler did, believed and tried to create. Nazism, confused as it was, was fundamentally an ideology built around race, while socialism was entirely different: built around class. Hitler aimed to unite the right and left, including workers and their bosses, into a new German nation based on the racial identity of those in it.


Socialism, in contrast, was a class struggle, aiming to build a workers state, whatever race the worker was from. Nazism drew on a range of pan-German theories, which wanted to blend Aryan workers and Aryan magnates into a super Aryan state, which would involve the eradication of class focused socialism, as well as Judaism and other ideas deemed non-German.

When Hitler came to power he attempted to dismantle trade unions and the shell that remained loyal to him; he supported the actions of leading industrialists, actions far removed from socialism which tends to want the opposite. Hitler used the fear of socialism and communism as a way of terrifying middle and upper-class Germans into supporting him. Workers were targeted with slightly different propaganda, but these were promises simply to earn support, to get into power, and then to remake the workers along with everyone else into a racial state. There was to be no dictatorship of the proletariat as in socialism; there was just to be the dictatorship of the Fuhrer.
