"So many are ignoring the warning signs of history and pretending something like Soviet Style Communism could never happen again, especially in the US.
It can."
Wanna guess which one actually caused more death, enslavement, torture and genocide?
Wanna guess which party is supporting the country trying to return to Soviety Style communism?
Do you even know what Nazi stands for? Do you know the economic, and social policies in Germany under Hitler?
Who said these? Left-wing or Right-wing?
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual."
"For Fascism, society is the end, individuals the means, and its whole life consists in using individuals as instruments for its social ends."
"The higher interests involved in the life of the whole... must set the limits and lay down the duties of the interests of the individual."
The middle quote is the most succinct and to the point.
I don't think Trump is Hitler, but he does have some similar MO:
Espouse almost virulent nationalism; get everyone swept up in patriotism; then get them swept up in fear that their way of life is "under attack."
Find a scapegoat that is ethnically different and mobilize the "pure" people against it.
Express populist, demagogue rhetoric ad nauseam.
Violate previous social and governmental norms and encourage your followers not to care.
Spread fake news and distort everyone's perception of what is real, right and just - in Germany, they had a term for it: "Lugenpresse."
Attempt to take over the press and suppress criticism.
Not saying he's going to start whipping up his supporters to kill, but he does have a lot of characteristics in common with a populist authoritarian. And if you don't see it, you're blind.
There is a sign hanging in the Holocaust museum highlighting the 14 elements of Fascism. Trump is following every single one. It's like the Hitler playbook.
Yes, Nazism is a right wing ideology according to scholars and historians. The name is meaningless.
"For Fascism, society is the end, individuals the means, and its whole life consists in using individuals as instruments for its social ends."
Said by a Right-winger? Or by a Left-winger?
