Bammy believes in the the Gov't Ownership of Health Care.
Yes. Politics isn’t so much a spectrum from left to right, but a circle, with anarchy on the outer edge, absolute Pharoahic tyranny in the center, and a range inward and outware with libertarian ideas, free markets, socialism, etc., where the variable is more control or less control, over this aspect or that aspect of life.
...including liberalism, progressivism as practised by Democrats, GOPe, RINOs, etc.
Yes. He’s using the Fabian approach of gradually slipping in socialism. And of course there was Government Motors.
The answer is most definitely yes.
Making the right campaign contributions are becoming as important to a company as research and development.”
Next, they’ll get on their knees to 0bama.
Obama believes in government CONTROL of the means of production. Which is a tenet of fascism.
The idea that one knows what is best for some other guy, and that it’s ok to coerce his cooperation with that idea, is the root of all evil.
All governments use coercion. It is more or less the defining characteristic of an organization that is a government as opposed to something else.
Governments use force when then think they need to, and they claim a monopoly on violence. Nobody else is allowed to use it.
So the difference is not between government that do and those that do not use force. It’s the amount of coercion used and the purpose of that coercion that separates one government type from others.
At least that is what he says, for now. Changed his mind, supposedly, on gay marriage, didn't he? Changed his mind on executive order for immigration, didn't he? Leftists NEVER tell the truth about their ultimate goals, else they would never be elected. No doubt about it in my mind, Obama is lying, thievin', filthy, stinkin' Commie.
This actually makes sense, sort of.
Every society has its own traditions that conservatives seek to protect or return to. What they are varies, so an American conservative has very little in common with a Russian or Afghan conservative.
OTOH, leftism around the world, whether of the national or international variety, has a great deal in common everywhere.
BTW, while Nazism was national socialist at its core, in blended in so much of the toxic European and specifically German varieties of conservatism (Church and Crown, blood and soil) that I think it stretches terminology to call the Nazis "socialist" without a great deal of explanation of terms.
The German right characteristically denounced socialism, while supporting the welfare state, demanding government supervision of the economy, and preaching the duty of property-owners to serve their country.
The German left characteristically denounced nationalism, while extolling the feats of imperial Germany, cursing the Allied victors of the war, and urging the rebirth of a powerful Fatherland.
The Nazis took over the essence of each side in the German debate and proudly offered the synthesis as one unified viewpoint. The synthesis was National Socialism.
Sorry, should have said that Nazism incorporated the most toxic elements of European and German conservatism. Not all elements of this tradition were so toxic.
Well, they were the National Socialist Workers Party.
They certainly were into "social engineering" weren't they?
Mark Levin words.. before Mark almost never heard these words..
Ameritopia.. another Mark Levin word..
Lots of commie countries called themselves Democratic Republics though they were neither.
Socialism, to my mind, is simply “all men are created equal” carried one step too far, to include economic equality as well as social and political equality.
“Socialists” have always varied enormously about how they think that goal should be achieved, and what methods they are willing to use to get there. A lot of Americans equate Marxism and Socialism, but of course Marxism is only one of the many variants, albeit the most famous and influential.
If you accept this definition of “socialism,” then Nazism doesn’t qualify. Its goal was to create a permanent hereditary aristocracy of the German people dominating the rest of the world. And of course it’s Fuehrer Principle pretty much put paid to the idea of any real equality within the German people themselves, though it was not supposed to be hereditary.
The Nazis are very difficult to fit into any of the traditional political categories. Italians Fascists, OTOH, are more clearly a variant of socialism.
So he’s a fascist.
