14 defining characteristics of fascism

[Spytheweb]

According to Dr. Lawrence Britt's "14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism," we are in big trouble here in the Disunited States of America. While the American right continues to laugh at our comparisons of Bush's ongoing rhetoric and the rhetoric of fascist dictator Adolf Hitler, it is no laughing matter.
We do not make these comparisons lightly, nor do they give us joy.
Dr. Britt named these as the fourteen defining characteristics of fascism:

o Powerful and continuing nationalism
o Disdain for the recognition of human rights
o Identification of enemies as a unifying cause
o Supremacy of the military
o Rampant sexism
o Controlled mass media
o Obsession with national security
o Religion and government intertwined
o Corporate power protected
o Labor power suppressed
o Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
o Obsession with crime and punishment
o Rampant cronyism and corruption
o Fraudulent elections

We went through this exact same crap before the 2004 election, before you even posted here.

It*did* spawn some' interesting' opinions about how Hitler was a liberal, though. :mj07:

lol-

of *course* (I know you love the stars) we are cool. I'm not gonna be in his(FDC's-who I would think/know would be a lot of fun- but he's just throwing that stuff out there-the stuff you read)cart, or even in the same foursome, whatever happens, but there are some other things involved. Give me a call and i'll explain.

Or have me call you when you have time available.

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

OK. . . OK . . . phew

Between Jack continually ignoring my phonecalls in Vegas and then getting moved out of the cart, I was thinking about joining Ironlock and his crew in the Caribbean for their next outing. I *know* I'd be in the cool crew with *that* crowd.

this is why the interenet is so much fun for spy and spongy....

it gives the ill-informed the spit shined appearance of looking legitimate (i.e. truthers, holocaust deniers, and other assorted history revisionists)....

all they have to do is link to another website or wacademic ideologue`s opinion article in the same vein of thought and "bam!!", it's now a 'fact backed up by evidence....

until weasel goes all "joe mccarthy" on `em....

Of course Hitler was a liberal. AS well as Ben Mussolini .

I know, I shouldn't question your wisdom. I am repentant. Please forgive, All Knowing One.

I knew there was another dim-wit posting here besides Freeze that thinks Hitler was a liberal. Thanks for reminding me who that was...

 

[redsfann]

I like this quote; how about you, Nosigar?


"The main plank in the Nationalist Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood."
- Adolf Hitler

:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

I knew you were one of them, right alongside Freeze, that strongly said that nonsense back then, but I left you out of it because I like you and you make sense *most* of the time.

And this is the thanks I get? :mj07:

Ok, no problem.

Hitler was a liberal... lmfao

Many conservatives accuse Hitler of being a leftist, on the grounds that his party was named "National Socialist." But socialism requires worker ownership and control of the means of production. In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship -- it can only be democratic. Hitler's other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church, even though he was an atheist.
