Thank you Mr Noble
As You can tell from this thread some buy the Sean levin Shapiro dinesh deflection completely
Same folks who consider my CSA ancestors nazis too
Lazy intellects
Conservatism is about truth first and foremost
I think Burke said that
This stuff is new and an outgrowth of neoconservatives throwing paleos under the bus as they are wont to do
” That meant wiping out the business class and having a centralized economy with complete government control of the means of production.”
I can see that you also have never read Shirer’s history.
Not only is there no evidence of any such plan, Hitler early on drove out the tiny faction within the Nazi party who thought along those lines.
Even more amusing is the fact that Hitler sold off some government monopolies to the private sector. He had no interest in having the German government own everything.
“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East. In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer. Page 501 in my copy,
You obviously didn’t ready “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg. I don’t especially like Goldberg, but he did a good job of explaining how US Democrats aligned with what was basically Fascism, starting with Woodrow Wilson and continuing to Huey Long and FDR and beyond. I consider the US a far-left Fascist country and I think it has been that for 100 years.
NOTE: The Left fights the Left all the time. FDR helped Stalin and fought Hitler. Stuff happens. All of them were far-left nationalists.
“You obviously didn’t ready “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg”
I bet he didn’t read “Mary Had a Little Lamb” either. “Liberal Fascism” and the even stupider “Islamofascism” are just a way to drag Steven Spielberg fans into new age battles.
Well, that narrows it down
“You obviously didn’t ready “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg”
Of course not. I leave the pop-history that Jonah cranks out to silly people who gobble up his buffoonery. I do have to give Jonah credit for knowing his audience.
An actual scholar in the history of fascism as opposed to Jonah is Paul Gottfried.
