Daniel Hannan cuts through the disinformation routinely spewed by the pundit class to reveal the true historical nature of fascism, albeit as it pertains to British politics. The lessons, however, are applicable here as well.
'I am a Socialist,' Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930, 'and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow'.
No one at the time would have regarded it as a controversial statement. The Nazis could hardly have been more open in their socialism, describing themselves with the same terminology as our own SWP: National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Almost everyone in those days accepted that fascism had emerged from the revolutionary Left. Its militants marched on May Day under red flags. Its leaders stood for collectivism, state control of industry, high tariffs, workers' councils. Around Europe, fascists were convinced that, as Hitler told an enthusiastic Mussolini in 1934, 'capitalism has run its course'.
One of the most stunning achievements of the modern Left is to have created a cultural climate where simply to recite these facts is jarring...

They are all socialist facsists. Islam is the origin of all these man worshipping sects, disquised as religion or philosophy.
ah, meant...socialist fascists...
Freepers knew this when we were children I bet, it is amazing how many people don’t know
“Leftism Revisited” by K-L is the best book on Leftist movements which puts all these totalitarianism/socialists/fascists/progressives/sodomites together—explains them and lumps them together for the similar end result of totalitarianism and immorality.
The Fabian Socialist movement was the one which destroyed England totally from within.

I gotta ask you, how would freepers know, about the progressive movement, when they were children?
I think one of the biggest problems, besides Communist propaganda demonizing Fascism as Capitalism’s guard dog, is the misuse of the word Corporatism.
Corporatism means collectivism, like the Medieval guilds of old or state controlled enterprise. However, people have linked it to the word Corporation, and think it means plutocracy or oligarchy in which business interests control society.
Orwell warned us of the misuse of language in politics.
‘“Leftism Revisited” by K-L’
K-L: Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn
He was a regular at National Review back when that magazine was worth reading. In other words, a very long time ago.
When has a right leaning gov’t killed people?
The Spanish in the 30’s were not right leaning.
The Germans were not right leaning.
Has there ever been a right leaning administration that did this?
What governments would you include as right leaning?
Have you ever read Mark Gabriel’s work? I would source it, but don’t how or care to learn. He is a very good author on the origins of Isalm, and how it has effected it’s world view since muhammad. Since, his supposed revelations occured 1500 yrs ago, I presume him to be the artifact of our present day socialist fascists. At the least, take a look at what Dr. M. Gabriel to say.
They definitely aren’t reading those in elementary schools around here

Okay, “young” then. I didn’t mean year olds. I think most of us probably knew instinctively that Hitler and Mussolini were not freedom-loving people.
I didn’t read them as part of a class, I’d read a book or two a day normally. Still do. But our classes were much better back then (1965-72) than today. And that was in California and Florida!
A government is merely a tool really. What drives a government left or right is it’s political system, it’s beliefs, it’s foundation and it’s agenda.
My Dads greatest political hero of all time is Francisco Franco. Followed by FDR and Barack Obama. In that order. My Dad is a fascist and proud of it.
I read the “Game of the Foxes”, at ten, and was absorbed with that tome. It wasn’t required reading. My early education was due to my Mother. School was considered an additional learning tool. Regardless, you knew that the “Third Reich” were progressives. Truly amazing.
