Today many industries are the same. While they won't be killed (usually) they won't get government contracts, funding, tax breaks, etc. if they don't fit in with the government ideals. The Covid jab is an example.
Worse perhaps are the media and cultural icons that actually believe the left wing rhetoric and spew it as truth.
Notice how the Biden Admin has not come out on either side regarding the protests in China, Iran, etc?
It's not a Left/Right thing. It's the hard-core communists defining themselves by telling us what they are not.
This all started back before WWII in Germany. The pre-war Communist Party of Germany was thoroughly Stalinist and was largely funded and controlled by the Comintern in Russia.
The prewar Communism Party of Germany referred to all opposition parties as "fascists."
So when the Democrats call us "fascists," they probably have no idea what a fascist is. They are just merely telling us--just as they did in prewar Germany--that they are communists.
Among the twisted academic and political tricks of the 20th century has been the proliferation of supposedly different systems of government, but all of these "different" systems have at their core the same principle: big, powerful and invasive government.
On a model which would cluster all these together, the opposing pole would be small, far less powerful and non-invasive government.
All the terms are merely like the shells or cups which almost never hide the palmed pea, or the three card monte which is constructed to cheat the marks.
"Small, far less powerful and non-invasive government" is my understanding of what it is to be conservative, arrayed against the liberal, though neither term suffices.
Further, Republicans richly deserve a comparison with Neville Chamberlain. That leaves True America with neither voice nor influence.
Unfortunately, it’s going to take a cataclysmic catastrophe to turn things around. Trump’s MAGA may have reached high tide. Only abject poverty or mass death will divert the left from suicide.
We have become neither Socialist nor Communist.
We are now fully a Fascist nation, heading like a runaway truck toward being a full blown National Socialist American Workers Party state. Remember, when a country's ruling class continually stress that they are a democracy or a republic, they are, as a rule of thumb neither.
Ping.
Good article.
Excellent article.
Well done.
Not disagreeing with the article, but the eagle is NOT holding a "bundle of sticks", it is holding a bundle of arrows. The olive branch in its right talon symbolizes the U.S. desire for peaceful relationships. The arrows in the left talon symbolize U.S. willingness to fight if necessary.
This is pretty basic stuff, and I'd expect a professional writer to know this, or at least to bother to look it up.
Fascist leaders at least acted like they supported the Family unit of their country. American leftists straight up hate the family and want to destroy it
Sadly the American left has been pushing this at least since woodrow wilson.
Posted this in a other thread- yes, the left are flat out fascists now. Why? Because they can be, because they own and run everything thst is powerful enough to destroy any opposition. They run the courts, judges, cops, even the sc mostly, blm antifa, the fbi, msm, social media, the Healthcare system by and large, big tech, public schools, daycare...
You name it, the left run it practically, and they Will Destroy anyone that attempts to take a stand.
“Back in the 30’s 40’s or whenever it was, there was a campaign to expose and blacklist communists in our country, because communism was seen as a great evil. The campaign went too far, and innocent people suffered because of it, and so public sentiment sympathized with the targets, and the campaign backfired, and true communists that infested our nation were let off the hook.
Now we have communists living right out in the open, flaunting their antiAmerican trash for all to see. They no longer fear being investigated and blacklisted, and they have adopted the black.isting tactic and have turned their efforts to blacklisting those who oppose their communistic agenda, and we are now living in a fascist society where the left are engaged in a hostile takeover of this nation, and thye don’t even try to hide it or their disdain for our nation anymore”
