You know how that goes..’but you can’t take the country out of the boy…’
But, in this case, it’s the girl: Angela Merkel. Born and raised communist with an overlay of the German disease, Nazism.
And it applies to the Democrat Party as well: the effects of their Bolshevik predecessors is indelible.
1.First, the background: contrary to what you were taught in secular, government school, Communism and Nazism both come from Marx and Hegel. At the start, they were largely the same, the former international socialism, the latter, national socialism.
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. Goebbels’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...." November 27, 1925.
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.
"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.
2. There are really only two versions of governance in modern society.
The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives
a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
Fascists, Nazis, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists
b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
" Franklin Roosevelt had pictured a place where citizens were joined in a collective enterprise ... Reagan pictured a more individualistic America where everyone would flourish once freed from the shackles of the state, and so the watchwords became self-reliance and small government."
The Liberal Crackup
The reason that it is essential to understand the two forms is that only the former supports our first amendment.
Free speech is a privilege under collective government, and can be withdrawn.
3. Only in America, and only as long as Democrats/Liberals/Progressives are prevented from taking control, is there freedom of speech and thought.
Which brings me to Angela Merkel.
“German Chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the Bundestag recently to warn the German parliament about the dangers of free speech.” Merkel Gives Speech Attacking Free Speech
Wanna think about that before I continue?
