"It's muddled thinking to simply describe the likes of the British National Party as "extreme right". The truth is that on issues like health, transport, housing, protectionism and globalisation, their economics are left of Labour, let alone the Conservatives. It's in areas like police power, military power, school discipline, law and order, race and nationalism that the BNP's real extremism - as authoritarians - is clear. It's easy to see how the term national socialism came into being. The uncomfortable reality is that much of their support comes from former Labour voters.
"This mirrors France's National Front. In running some local governments, they reinstated certain welfare measures which their Socialist predecessors had abandoned. Like similar authoritarian parties that have sprung up around Europe, they have come to be seen in some quarters as champions of the underdog, as long as the underdog isn't Black, Arab, gay or Jewish ! With mainstream Social Democratic parties adopting - reluctantly or enthusiastically - the new economic libertarian orthodoxy (neo-liberalism), much of their old economic baggage has been pinched by National Socialism. Election debates between mainstream parties are increasingly about managerial competence rather than any clash of vision and fundamental difference in economic direction. "
This sort of politics is not perfectly aligned with the Tea Parties. It hasn't really reared its head in the US on a big level since George Wallace who favored a full blown welfare state but for whites only. There are hints of this in how Sarah Palin governed Alaska with semi-socialist policies while explicitly race-baiting Native Alaskans but she has backed away from having to explain her policies since coming to the national stage. One of the conservatives here described these policies as liberalism with racism added ; white supremacist liberalism no longer really exists in the US, while white supremacist conservatism still exists (I'm not saying that anywhere near to the majority of US conservatives are racists, only a very small percentage, but certain conservatives can practice open racism in a way liberals no longer do. We know there are racist conservatives and racist liberals in office but the racist liberals tend to keep their mouths shut or separate their personal beliefs from the political policies they advocate.)
I just want to make sure we are absolutely clear with regards to your position:
ANYONE who assists the American Nazi party (their formal name) in excercizing their right(s) to free speech is not "supported" (my term) by you -- is this correct??
NO that is your spin on my position. My Position is that The Governor of Arizona, the Republican Majority Leader in the Seanate, and Americas Sherriff Joe Arpaio are on a first name basis with the Furhrer of the Arizona National Socialist who was a Republican Committeeman. They support his activities and his National Socialist Patriot Militia and he brings his goons out to support Republicans whenever people demonstrate against them.
So voting republican in Arizona is supporting Nazis
The DNC should get their money back, you're a horrible strategist.
As I said, I voted in the REPUBLICAN Primary. Until the Arizona Republican Party repudiates these Nazis, like JD Hayworth did, they are one in the same
The English Defence League, a far-right grouping aimed at combating the "Islamification" of British cities, has developed strong links with the American Tea Party movement.
In both cases, the ideology (racial or class struggle) led to a bad principle: the exclusion of whole categories (“inferior” races or “harmful” classes) composed of people whose only crime was to belong to one of these categories, i.e., to exist. Both systems designated an absolute enemy with whom it was impossible to compromise. In both cases, the result was planned terror. Class or racial hatred, social or racial prophylaxis, it is all the same.
