It's the Far Left Who Are the Fascists
American Thinker ^ | 9 Oct, 2022 | D. Parker

Posted on 10/09/2022 6:53:30 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Does it ever occur to the authoritarian far left that it's leftists who are the fascists?

A recent video showed why fascism is a far-left phenomenon, but leftists never fully understand this because they get only one side of the story.

Serious question: Do anti-liberty leftists ever look in the mirror or have a moment of self-reflection that maybe they're the threat to our constitutional republic?

Do they ever consider the possibility that they are the "baddies"?

Do they understand that we of the pro-freedom right really don't have a choice in being inundated with leftist propaganda 24/7? Even the radio stations that carry our favorite pro-freedom programming tend to lean toward the collectivist side of the spectrum.

Don't even mention National Propaganda Radio, funded by our tax dollars taken at gunpoint, where their idea of "balance" is a gaggle of leftists with an oh, so slightly different viewpoint on the definition of socialism.

We really had a fascist in office a few years ago. The media didn't have a problem with the guy. He[Federal government] forced you to buy health insurance from ‘private’ insurers. Nothing is more fascist than that.

Absolutely. They are globalist authoritarians and seek to poison the entire world right after they destroy it.

You can make up a 100-item list as to what fascism is. But here’s the bottom line: Fascists believe that the government always has priority over the individual.

That is a VERY leftist point of view.

Can’t this writer find a more credible source than Glen Beck?

“Does it ever occur to the authoritarian far left ...” They know and they don’t careas long as it furthers their cause. They’ll be well fed and comfy cozy this winter.

What is this “far left” nonsense?

Anybody that encourages, supports and/or votes democrat is a leftist and therefore a fascist aka communist.

Hitler and Stalin would be proud of todays democrat party, they hate everyone except themselves.

No, no and no.

BTW I wish we’d get back to literal word use - Fascism had a specific meaning which has now become lost.

Yes, this is a good reminder of things... but I wonder why they write about this when most conservatives already know about it. Do we have to be reminded? It’s a waste of cyber ink and the left will never read this article. So it’s really stating the obvious and preaching to the choir about things well known.

Perhaps a better article would be to give tactics when meeting a leftist who says Trump is Hitler. Ask the leftist how is he like Hitler? Any concentration death camps? Any recent wars he started? That kind of thing to get them at least thinking.

The reason I ALWAYS refer to the “authoritarian far left” as LIEberals is that they LIE!

They LIE about everything, because if they didn’t LIE about their beliefs and agenda, no one would pay any attention to them, and they would be not taken seriously and turned away!

They should be turned away!

The spotlight of truth ALWAYS show these people to be LIARS!

Why would we expect LIEberals to tell the truth about who/what they are and what methods they intend to use to enslave us?

A vote for a Democrat on November 8th is a vote AGAINST America and FReedom!

SAVE AMERICA! VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2022, 2023 AND 2024!

Agreed. Fascism used to refer to a particular group of political/economic ideas. Now it just means bullying.

Conservatives, who are supposed to be familiar with history, seem to forget that the original rightwing were those who supported the monarchy against the democratizing forces of the freedom loving leftwing.

"when most conservatives already know about it"

I know no such thing. Fascism is a form of totalitarianism. It is not a form of authoritarianism. There's a difference.

Also, fascism may have developed from socialism, but it moved to the right when it embraced ethno-nationalism. Leftists are not focused on retaining ethnic purity or even national cohesion. They have always wanted whatever ideas they have to be spread globally.
