The Left-Fascist Axis. Again

We are seeing another Left-fascist axis in our time, recapitulating Stalin's (and worldwide communism's) embrace of Hitler's Germany. The Gaza flotilla crisis was set up by the radical Left (Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jodie Evans and other Obama buds), in collusion with Hamas, which is about as fascist as they get. If you doubt it, watch Hamas TV on the MEMRI website. They are the worst. They teach toddlers about the glories of dying for Allah. Even Fatah thinks Hamas is a throwback to the Dark Ages.

In the Gaza flotilla, the Turks who yelled out "Khaibar! Khaibar!" as they were trying to kill Israeli soldiers, were members of the Turkish branch of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood. They yelled out "Khaibar!" because that massacre of Jews was Mohammed's own Auschwitz. That doesn't leave any doubt about who they are. Martyrdom is just a means to an end, and that end is "Khaibar." The media always forget to tell us that part.

Words matter, which is why the Left is always making up new words for themselves, to disguise who they really are. The Left isn't Communist any more, they are "progressive" -- which leaves the rest of us back in 1776. "Progressives" always know which way to find "progress," and it always comes down to stomping on the rest of us. Because if you're not "progressive" you must be an enemy of "progress."

Well, duh.

Two words for the same thing, and you've got an axis?

Fascists - or Socialists as we currently call them - seek to control the means of production.

Communists seek to own the means of production.

There is therefore barely a shade of difference between the two. Both political ideologies are firmly left-wing.

Both are totalitarian solutions to the essential left-wing problem of getting money without doing any work - a problem as old as greed itself.

I should add: I disagree with the author’s apparent equivalence of Fascism and Jew-killing.

They are not the same. Fascism is a political ideology congruent with socialism. It is about theft and envy, and so is a form of worship of the Father of Lies.

Because of this it leads inexorably to the killing of Jews - and also Christians and babies. But Fascism and Jew-hatred are not the same thing.

The irony of the Left is that they talk about tolerance, rights, and liberties, but when you peel back the onion, all they want a dictatorship—with them in control (since they REALLY know what’s best for the rest of us). I once read that, under Fascism, the race is G-d while the leader is worshipped as the apex of the race. This assumes that Facism is Nationalistic, which it usually seems to be. Under Communism, the State is G-d. [Note—Believe this comes from Eric Hoffer’s book “The True Believer”]

I think the real reason for Jew killing in these ideologies is this: Jews (for whatever reason) have a disproportionate amount of influence on society. If you can influence society you can change it. But, once these people are in control, they don’t want change—they want things to maintain the status quo at all cost. That is why Jews are often “used” in the early stages of a revolution and then purged once the revolution is successful.

I've got two words for (cough) 'progressives' like Bill Ayers and his 'wife', Bernardine Dohrn.

It's my Tagline.
(yeah, it's an Oldie, but it's a Goody)

an aside: It's too bad I 'missed them' in Grant Park back in 1968.
The Chicago Cop on Michigan Ave & Balbo Drive told me to run over the wrong stinking hippies Commies.
Oh well.

[ClearCase_guy]

You have an excellent understanding of all of this. One should note that Mussolini is an archetypal Fascist leader, and he had no animosity toward Jews -- he just wanted control of the means of production and dominance over society.

Too many people see that Hitler had personal issues with Jews, and then assume that this is central to Fascist philosophy. It's quite separate, really.

[Durus]

I agree that hating Jews specifically is irrelevant of the practice of the subset of socialism called fascism. It does seem that in every socialist revolution, whether it be communism or fascism etc, they do demonize a race or class in order to harness the hate that they foment. Generally most people aren't going to burn down their neighbors house. Label that neighbor as being part of a hated class, race or religion, whip up enough hatred, and then it easy to get the masses of idiots to burn down that house. Once they are a mob they are much easier to control.
