Elite 3090 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: Hitler reacts to Scott Brown winning Mass I guess I'm confused as to why Hitler is being portrayed as being upset at the defeat of a Democrat. Nazism and fascism reject communism and liberalism. Most proponents of Nazism and fascism generally attract support from the far right. Nazism specifically is definitely a form of far right politics. I guess some people don't know that. Funny, though, even if it's totally out of context. Edited by zed707 2010-01-20 3:01 PM |

One of my favorite economists was a classic liberal. He would be opposed to what is described as liberalism in the U.S. This is actually, contextually correct and as you state.. very funny! |

I realize people call today's neo-nazi's far-right, but in my mind, Nazism is not a form of far right politics. In general, the right wingers in the United States believe in smaller government, capitalism and individual rights and responsibilities. The Nazi's believed in a strong government, socialist central planning and no individual rights. |

Can you give me your definition of far right and far left and give me your explanation of why Nazism and Fascism is a rejection of communism and liberalism. You may need to give your definitions of the four -ism to explain your statement better. |

Master 2006 Portland, ME | Subject: RE: Hitler reacts to Scott Brown winning Mass footer32 - 2010-01-20 9:22 PM Zed, You could not be more incorrect. Nazism is the farthest extreme of liberalism. Not sure about it being the farthest extreme as Nazism stresses socialism/liberalism on the national level while communism stresses expansion on a global level. Nazism embraced western civilization to rebuild nations with a statist/liberal agenda. While communism destroyed western civilization to replace it with a statist/liberal agenda. Though both systems required blind faith in central control I think people can debate which is more extreme liberalism. To me it just the same thing but just a different way to get there. |

IMHO, Nazism was less about economic systems and more about nationalism and militarism. Nazism rose out of a German economy devastated by a series of economic tsunamis: WWI and the crippling reparations to be paid, hyper-inflation which may or may not have been precipitated by the assassination of Walter Rathenau (a Jewish industrialist and German foreign minister and arguably the single greatest hope that Germany had for a war-free recovery), the great depression and deep-seated insecurity and intolerance for "foreigners". Nazis are indeed seen as right-wing, but IMHO, more because of their nationalist and militaristic bent and their invocation of some kind of mystical ideal of "the way things were" (even if they were never actually that way). The first chance the Nazis got, they established a dictatorship, shut down all opposition and cribbed their industrialization strategy from the neighboring Soviets. So, in reality there was very little separating the Nazis and the Communists. This makes sense, as totalitarian states are necessarily very similar. Although I may have argued in the past that comparisons of modern Western political leaders to Nazis is fair game, when you really look at how the Nazis grabbed power, and what they did when they got it, it's clear that no such comparison holds water. |

So North Korea is nationalistic and militaristic and therefore right-wing? Well since we know that North Korea is let-wing, then we are essentially saying the communism and Facism are two sides of the same coin. It seems to me that the left right argument and pinning Nazism as a conservative moment is fatally flawed. Edited by Jackemy 2010-01-21 10:19 AM |
