The Left's Descent into Fascism
American Thinker ^ | 18 Mar, 2017 | Shari Goodman

Posted on 03/18/2017 9:24:15 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Long before the creation of ghettos and concentration camps, the demonization of Jews began in 1933 when Germany elected Adolf Hitler as Chancellor. Following his election, Hitler created a fascist dictatorship which eventually led to the Holocaust and the extermination of six million Jews whose only crime was their Jewish identity. The dehumanization of Jews was a necessary requirement for Hitler and his fellow Nazis and they did so with a campaign of demonization, ridicule, and blame. Hitler's election provided Germans a daily dose of anti-Semitism and gave it legitimacy while providing a rationalization for the extermination of six million Jews.

The persecution of European Jewry was gradual. At first Jews were no longer welcome at schools and universities. Later, they were no longer able to own their businesses and homes. With time, public transportation was unavailable to them, public restrooms were forbidden, hospitals excluded them and eventually they were no longer able to use public streets or go outdoors. They were complete outcasts in a land they called home. By the time the crematoriums were running, Jews were no longer viewed as humans, but as vermin to be stamped out for the good of humanity.

Today, the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency has provoked the fascist Left to reject the election results. Taking a page from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radials, in which Alinsky advised his followers in Rule 13 to "pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it," the Left is now resorting to the fascist tactics of targeting Conservatives much like the Nazis who targeted European Jewry for their economic and social ills. Conservatives and Trump supporters are reluctant to identify themselves and conceal their support for fear of a backlash from the Leftist elites.

The left is pushing to start a war. They should be careful about what they wish for.

My peeve; Bolsheviks is a much more accurate description. Fascists are nationalists that reacted to social justice warriors. Bolshevism IS social justice and a Bolshevik is a social justice warrior.

The Left is not fascist. Fascism is a reaction to the Left. Franco and Pinochet we’re not fighting against Fascism.

“Hitler’s election provided Germans a daily dose of anti-Semitism and gave it legitimacy while providing a rationalization for the extermination of six million Jews.”

Why is it that no one ever mentions the other 14 million the NAZIs killed along with the 6 million Jews .. don’t they count?

Me too. Stalin and his vile upper-level henchmen targeted the people as a whole, not one ethnic group. They were after any dissent at all to label individuals as ‘Enemies of the people’.

Or not even dissent. Just come into the range of somebody who wanted your job and bingo! Lavrenti Beria had you in the shooting gallery and you were dead or off to die in the labor camps.

Same old same old self-hating bed fouling.

Long before the creation of ghettos and concentration camps, the demonization of whites began in 2008 when America elected Barak Obama as President. Following his election, Obama created a fascist dictatorship which eventually led to the Holocaust and the extermination of twenty million whites whose only crime was their European identity. The dehumanization of whites was a necessary requirement for Obama and his fellow Democrats and they did so with a campaign of demonization, ridicule, and blame. Obama’s election provided Americans a daily dose of anti-Americanism and gave it legitimacy while providing a rationalization for the extermination of twenty million whites.

The persecution of Europeans was gradual. At first whites were no longer welcome at schools and universities. Later, they were no longer able to own their businesses and homes. With time, public transportation was unavailable to them, public restrooms were forbidden, hospitals excluded them and eventually they were no longer able to use public streets or go outdoors. They were complete outcasts in a land they called home. By the time the crematoriums were running, whites were no longer viewed as humans, but as vermin to be stamped out for the good of humanity.

As a plus, they coined the term ‘bolshevik” to create the illusion that they were the majority (they weren’t) and used the term “menshevik” (minority) to describe their opponents who were, in fact, the majority. So the term bolshevik is based on a lie which perfectly describes the SJWs.

Sorry Sari, but there has been no descent whatsoever, they have been fascists the entire time. The Fascist Party of Italy was created by, and was comprised of, leftists.

Hitler created a fascist dictatorship

This too is incorrect, he created a socialist democratic dictatorship. Mussolini created a fascist dictatorship. This is important because while there were similarities, there was also stark differences as well. I suggest she watch the following:

Dinesh D'Souza Explains Fascism to ANTIFA & Leftist Hypocrites!

While I understand and agree with the points she is making, she is unfortunately mistaken, and it detracts from her message, historically speaking.

The problem is that it is not the left. Rather, the left is the “useful idiots” of those who always get rich from war.

And yes, I think THEY want a war. A big one. It’s time. :-(

Fascism is definitely a creature of the left, it just tends to have elements of tribalism and ultra-nationalism mixed in. Fascists and communists are mortal enemies, yet they both have totalitarian governmental power at the base of societal control.
