"In any event, under Nazism, the national symbols of a culture are raised to a religious status, the state is granted the position of the King, as if its position were ordained by God, and private property is left in the hands of individuals favored by the omnipotent State. So, in essence, Nazism is conservativism taken to the extreme. It takes the people's culture that has heretofore bound that people together and elevates that culture to a religious level while establishing a favored aristocracy served by faceless serfs and slaves. There is no check on the power of the King at all. Hence, Nazism falls to the far right on the traditional paradigm."

Hmm...still sounds like the Democratic party to me...ala Animal Farm. I enjoyed your post though...Locke and Hobbs sound like Libertarians.

Regardless of what side of the spectrum the Nazis fall on, there's no denying they had some similarities with the more extreme elements of today's Democratic party. "fag" used to be a term for something tedious and tiring. Come home from work and say you're "fagged", and be prepared for everyone to look at you like you're Jack Tripper.

Was it not the Weimar Republic that instituted gun control with the Nazi'z using it to their advantage?

Yes it was, which is a good reminder to us all that it is not a good idea to give up the RTKBA, even when the landscape seems so safe from tyrrany. Governments change! "It" can happen ANYWHERE.

Interesting argument, but I think you are making distinctions without a difference. Consider the life of the average citizen in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. Not much differnce in the restrictions placed on their lives and the Rights of the State vice the rights of the individual. I hardly consider the social experiments imposed on Germany by the National Socialist to fit your definition of the classic right. Private ownership of business is not the central issue.

Whatever the distinction between left & right, commie and nazi, the most important element to it is where it conjoins: a central power.

Left or right, statism and nationalism are the enemy.

The checks & balances removed lead to despotism, whatever its definition or excuse.

Comparing Democrats to Nazis is an embarrassment in many ways to many things but mostly it is an embarrassment to yourself.

Care to explain why to the man w/o the ad hominem?

[JRandomFreeper]

What issues do the democrats support that the national socialists didn't? What issues did the national socialists support that the democrats don't? If it's a valid juxtaposition for the "extreme right wing" and the national socialists, then the question is begged for the opposition.

Yes, the right-wing/left-wing label is disingenuous... and, when boiled down to its essentials, totalitarianism is totalitarianism, no matter what color one paints it. Islam as the opiate of the masses, eh? They'll use whatever works.

Hello back to you, Miss O! :-)

'gott mit uns'
(god is with us)
this was on the nazi soldier belt buckle!

'arbeit macht frei'
'work makes you free'
(all it did for me was ruin my vertebrae)

[connectthedots]

A little perusal Of F. Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" is all you need to back up the titular assertion... :-)

Amen to that!!

[Chapita]

This post is exactly right!

Hitler was a NATIONAL socialist; Stalin Was an INTERNATIONAL socialist!

BOTH hated the Jew!

***************"That's why Nazi Germany outlasted the USSR and Red China by exactly how many years? I detect a logical fault."****************************************

Germany was destroyed by the USA and allies. But wasn't Russia an ally?

Don't you know why FDR wanted us in the war?

Wasn't FDR a socialist?

[Chapita]

Wrong-O!
