So....verbiage aside....you have not way to deny that the National Socialists, the Nazis, and the International Socialists, the communists, are scion of Karl Marx?
Witness is dismissed.
Common denominators are common in philosophy and ideologies. Why not compare political ideologies to Greek and Roman histories? Socialism has been present since people lived communally in caves. Karl Marx didn't invent it. The period of history you have chosen to examine was a time when the world was searching for the best workable forms of governing. After WWI the search became very intense. Actually, before it ended. The Russian revolution, Teddy Roosevelt and the dismantling of monopolies, the fascist in Italy, and eventually FDR's New Deal idea of governments role. All were borrowing and selecting ideas from each other. They did it in the open. It wasn't some kind of secretive conspiracy the way you present it. Everyone knew it was an age of experimenting with ideas about how governments should or could work.
You've already been put in your place.
You can stop digging.
Tap-dance all you like, the final conclusion is that
Nazism
Communism
Socialism
Fascism
Progressivism
Liberalism
Are all....each and every one....based on the collective and all-powerful government, and anti-American at the core
American values are the predominance of the individual, and limited constitutional government.
Jakey, now surely you cannot argue, with any substance, PC's perfectly legitimate post.....or can you??
If you agree with her that totalitarianism cannot come from the right, of course I can argue with that, AA. National Socialism is not a step sister to communism. It is a right wing totalitarian, nationalist ideology that attacks the liberal principles of free speech, freedom of religion, etc. that gird our democratic republic.
What I won't do is accept false definitions from PC.
"National Socialism is not a step sister to communism."
Watch me smash this custard pie right in your lying kisser.
1. "Early
socialists publically advocated genocide, in the 19th and 20th centuries. It first appeared in Marx's journal, Rheinishe Zeitung, in January of 1849. When the socialist class war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe, two stages behind- not even capitalist yet- the Basques, the Bretons, the Scottish Highlanders, the Serbs, and others he calls 'racial trash,' and they will have to be destroyed because, being two stages behind in the class struggle, it will be impossible to bring them up to being revolutionary." George Watson, Historian, Cambridge University.
a. "The classes and races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way...they must perish in the revolutionary holocaust." Karl Marx, People's Paper, April 16, 1856, Journal of the History of Idea, 1981
b.
"Before Marx, no other European thinker publicly advocated racial extermination. He was the first."
George Watson.
2. A year after Lenin's death, 1924, the NYTimes published a small article about a
newly established party in Germany, the National Socialist Labor Party, which "...persists in believing that Lenin and Hitler can be compared or contrasted...Dr. Goebell's....assertion that Lenin was the greatest man second only to Hitler....and that the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was very slight...."
NYTimes, November 27, 1925.
3.Shortly thereafter the Nazis found it more useful to stress differences, and the
earlier campaign posters showing similarities disappeared, posters with both the hammer and sickle and the swastika. ("The Soviet Story" at 18:30)

"Hitler often stated that he learned much from reading Marx, and the whole of National Socialism is doctrinally based on Marxism."
George Watson, Historian, Cambridge.
b. "Socialists in Germany were national socialists, communists were international socialists."
Vladimir Bukovsky.
The film "The Soviet Story" goes on to show
a series of Nazi and Russian propaganda posters....except for the language, almost identical.
"Hitler often stated that he learned much from reading Marx, and the whole of National Socialism is doctrinally based on Marxism."
