Nobody does "groupthink," quite like the Germans...
The left took over the indocrination centers, er, education system a long time ago now.
Also, keep in mind, Roosevelt was a socialist. He needed to distance his brand of socialism from theirs.
Also, the left hates a loser.
If the Nazis had won the American left would be fawning over them.
Socialism of any sort is merely the pathway to absolute power. In reality there is hardly any “socialism” anywhere. Maybe some isolated tribes somewhere are real socialists.
The rest are just power mad elitists tricking the sheep into embracing slavery through the ruse of some variety of “people’s’ utopia.
Nazis, like the new Chinese leadership, realized that if they controlled means of production, but let certain, carefully selected smart people actually run it and get rich off it, their economy could actually function, at least for a while.
as far as I am informed the national socialists right wing def. is historically founded and was welcome to the NSDAP because it demonstrated their opposition to everything communistic...
wounder what the ‘think’ in groupthink means...
Maybe not, but they lived (and to a degree still live) in a society stratified according to thoroughly bigoted caste system. How does the skin tone of your average Untouchable compare to the skin tone of your average Brahmin?
I hope you're not implying by your post that Indians aren't racist. Racism is a common failing of every ethnicity.
Only in a totally left wing country could national socialists be right wing.
The National Socialist Workers Party were more ethnically patriotic than the World Workers Party.
Both, however, were variety of socialist workers party.
LOL!
Honestly I understand if some alcoholicaly challenged desperados dream of salvation by some kind of miracle.
But that these null heads choice of pipe dream is a kind of hitler revival cult I will never understand - was there a greater disaster to germany and europe then Hitler - hardly.
OK the hordes drank away all of the very old cognac in france ... but the bill was quite high.
>>Only a large squad of 70 policemen was able to force the romping crowd back, although the policemen were themselves attacked using bottles, glasses and benches.
If a drunken crowd like this is rioting and attacking policemen, it’s time to apply Rule 308 to get the crowd under control. It shouldn’t take more than 2-3 ringleaders / point men, to get the point across to the rest to disperse.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
The only thing you didn’t cover, and should have, is the fact that there are radical Hindu nationalists in India who have, indeed, attacked “others”.
Germany has NEVER dealt with Nazism. They just pushed it out of sight, but it’s still there and runs deep.
The problem is that left and right have so many possible interpretations on so many levels that the words in itself barely manage to mean anything definitive. If we look at:
"internationalist" vs. "nationalist"
"progressive" vs. "conservative"
"egalitarian(?)" vs. "elitist"
etc. etc. etc.
, we can safely say the Nazis were probably Right-Left-Rightists. Which may also explain the Goosestepping as a complicated metaphor of their political standpoint :)
By the way, how's anti-black racism in the USA coming along? Ok, but everytime some white racist idiot misbehaves, all of white USA have to listen to how they'll never change their slaver ways? I thought so...
Sarita!Yes,thats her!
Saw her in Bride & Prejudice, her 1st English-language film. 20 lbs over her regular weight because she thought it would be more lifelike to NOT look like a model.
Funny movie, the 'No wife..no life' music number w/ all the sisters is worth the price of admission alone.
Nobody knows what really happened there. Just because Germans are beating immigrants doesn’t necessarily mean it is racially motivated. Would this have been a group of muslim immigrants beating up Germans and hurling racial insults, no newspaper would have found this worth reporting. Sickening style of journalism.
nonsense
Wow,you have great taste!
Why don't you provide us with a little essay on the caste system of India, just to provide some balance.
