While Hitler and Mussolini both expressed their opposition to and hatred of “Marxists,” they nevertheless embraced a leftism that was only marginally different from that embraced by Lenin and Stalin. In light of recent events and discussions attempting to rehabilitate the historical reputation of Germany’s Nazis, it might be worthwhile to re-examine the foundations of the ideology that underpinned National Socialism and its close cousin fascism. Those who embrace the revisionism that excuses the Nazis’ crimes appear to believe that by doing so, they are defending themselves and their ideological brethren from unfair and ahistorical attacks by the broader left....

The "Third Way" ideology is much more than just 'another way' of doing things. Rather, it is the specific ideology of the political elite and their multinational industrial paymasters. And, if you study this ideology closely, you may soon learn the real reason behind all those very oppressive laws, rules and regulations coming out of Washington these past few years. Simply put, the intent of the "Third Way" ideologues is to design a classed society -- made up of us worker serfs and our elite controllers. To do that, it is necessary that the elite have general control over money,...

Oil prices and risky assets across the world have tumbled after China intervened to weaken the yuan, sending a clear signal to investors that the country's shift to currency flexibility is a two-way street.

Hillary Clinton and "The Third Way"How America's First Lady of the Left Has Bamboozled Liberals and Conservatives Alike By David Horowitz FrontPageMagazine.com | June 22, 2000 My subject is Hillary Clinton in her role as America's foremost leftist. This is not an obvious idea to those leftists who identify themselves as radicals. Purists of the creed are likely to regard both Clintons as opportunists and sellouts of their cause. But the left is not and has never been a political monolith, and its factions have always attacked each other almost as ferociously as their political enemies. It is possible...

June 10, 2002 Party must crack down on illegal immigration and crime Mandelson tells Labour: we're all Thatcherites By David Charter, Chief Political Correspondent PETER MANDELSON warns Labour today not to throw away its grip on power as the European centre-left parties have by losing its nerve and failing to crack down on immigration, antisocial behaviour and crime. The man who remains one of Tony Blair’s closest advisers insists that the Third Way he helped to create to underpin new Labour is not doomed despite European election losses in France, The Netherlands and Italy. In an outspoken article in The...

To the left, to the left, to the left the Republican Party goes. Once upon a time, like many of you, this writer was of the opinion that the platform of the Republican Party was consistent with his moral and political view of the universe, that is, consistent with Christian and constitutional values, those core values at the foundation of our great Republic and free government everywhere.
