WATCH – Conservative English MP Hannan Lights Up Crowd Observing ‘Hitler was a Socialist’
Restoring Liberty ^ | 12/21/14 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 12/22/2014 12:57:33 PM PST by Impala64ssa

English MP (Member of Parliament) Daniel Hannan, famous for his speech “the devalued Prime Minister of a devalued government,” is no stranger to controversy.

As a member of the European Conservatives and Reformist Group, he often says things that runs against the grain of prevailing sentiment in elitist circles.

In this speech, posted on December 9th of this year, Hannan sets out to prove how the infamous German fuhrer Adolf Hitler was not a man of the right, but a different type of socialist.

Mr Hannan opens, “Ladies and gentleman, who said this? ‘I am a socialist. And a very different kind of socialist from your rich friend Count Reventlow.’”

…As Hannan points out, while socialists and fascists, two different kinds of authoritarian collectivists, fought one another for power, both groups were hostile to the classically liberal true “right” – which stands for individual freedom.

Yes, he was. But you can’t convince people.

One has only to do a tiny fragment of research into the Acronym “Nazi” - Part of the larger “NSDAP”.

National Socialist German Worker’s Party.

Facts are stubborn things...

“Lights up crowd” how?

With the pro-muzzie anti Semitic culture in Europe today, this could be taken as a good thing.

The crowd lit up with cheers and applause.

Well, that’s the sad fact, under the Nazis, they were initially admired for their incredible nationalized healthcare and education system. That is, until we ended up going to war with them, and finding all the details about the Holocaust, then all that was initially admired about them has been denied ever since. Reality though, is that despite their mass murder, they had the kind of healthcare and education system that most on the left would admire nowadays.

And those, like the healthcare system and the education system, are seldom mentioned about Nazi Germany. Ben Stein did a good section in his documentary, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, which went into great detail about how they took mentally challenged and autistic individuals and gave them lethal injections on a gurney. Then there’s yes, abortion, they systematically encouraged tons of sex and abortion among the peoples in Yugoslavia and East Europe, the rest is history, and you likely will not hear about it from your history textbooks.

I used to point that out to liberal co-workers in the cubicle farm and their response would be to turn red and sputter. It's in the name of the NAZI party, for cripe's sake. A lot of them are mentally ill, I think.

What’s so hard about it is the left has spent 70 years denying
that Nazi’s were Socialist. And the better part of my lifetime calling Conservative’s Nazi’s.

See how that works? Same M.O. as all other leftist talking points. Accuse others of exactly what you are doing. Works every time.

In watching this video, the most telling point is this: the man who selected this video, and thought it so important that he placed it on his blog, was the Republican senatorial candidate from Alaska. The establishment Republicans wanted nothing to do with him, and encouraged Murkowski to run as an independent (flagrantly disregarding their own long-held protocol), and supported that candidacy (and, presumably, turned a blind eye to the less savory methods used in that candidacy). Joe Miller lost, and the establishment Republicans were able to avoid a senator who understands the nature of oppression, and replace him with a senator who conspires in that oppression.

There is no real difference between fascism and socialism, clearly, anymore than there is a real difference between Republican and Democrat. The fascist, the socialist, the Republican (at least the establishment part of it), the Democrat — all exist to bleed the country dry of wealth, to neuter any opposition, and to thrive at the expense of the citizenry.

Understanding that is the real import of this video, at least in modern America.

The communist and the fascist go to a football game. They sit together at the left end of the stadium. The communist takes the seat to the left. Therefore, the fascist becomes “right-wing”.

Outright state ownership and operation, advancing in all fields, are particularly ascendant in the extensive areas of new enterprise opened up during the Nazi rule....virtually all economic enterprise is subject to rigid state control; and it is control which we have seen to be decisive in relation to the instruments of production. Legal forms, even income privileges, are in the end subordinate to de facto control.

Yep, just dripping with Edmund Burke huh?/sarc

Reality though, is that despite their mass murder, they had the kind of healthcare and education system that most on the left would admire nowadays.

Mass murder can never be separated from collectivism, because it is the root of it. Collectivists of any stripe, to any degree, under any name, are actually mass-murderists. They are people who are utterly fascinated by, and addicted to, the wholesale destruction of human beings. From HOA Boards making rules to harm as many people in the worst way for the most trivial things, all the way up to commendants of death camps flicking their finger left out right in front of a line of people to indicate who lives and who dies, it's all the same - a perverted, depraved and psychotic lust to destroy as many human beings as possible with as much malice and contempt as possible.

And being a collectivist satisfies this in numerous ways, because every aspect of collectivism is based, ultimately and in some way, of invoking that hideous power of mass destruction through the rape of the human spirit.

This is the fundamental "fruit" of collectivism - what it historically leaves wherever it is used. That's why it's always hidden behind ideals of perfection and mercy itself, because only ridiculous claims can distract from its abiding stench of death.

Nevertheless, "ye shall know them by their fruits."

They are ignorant of history.

Most often deliberately ignorant.

As the truth of the similarities between the nazis of the past and the socialists of today have begun to seep out into the open, the university of Michigan removed copies of Mein Kampf from public access in their libraries. They claimed that they don't want individuals (the right) from reading them and thinking they can have an uprising. The reality is that they don't want their students figuring out where they're leading them.

Fortunately Mein Kampf is easy to access online or buy in hard copy for those who really do want to learn the truth about the national socialists.

Hannan is still part of David Cameron’s “Consevative Party” while Nigel Farage has a clear and consistent message about UK indepdendence from socialism.

Farage advocates the exit of the UK from the EU and his party won the his EU elections with 27 percent of the vote earlier this year, beating the Conservative Party.
