I'd argue the ignorance of many supporters can't be maintained. But willful ignorance seems to be the hallmark of the antifa supporters....
Funny, you see a lot of the bottom flag at Right Wing rallies.
What "Right Wing" rallies are you attending????????????
Nazis are Socialist !!!!!!!!!!! Check your history!!!!!!!!!!!
@Serg97 Trump rallies. Stop the steal rallies. "Unite the Right" rallies - AKA "Jews will not replace us". Plenty of Right Wing rallies have Nazis in tow. Look at Nick Fuentes and Kanye being celebrated by Right Wing politicians and holding private meetings with Trump while being avowed Nazis.
Nazis are socialists, hm? So you believe North Korea is a Democratic Republic?
@JacksonNought No North Korea is COMMUNIST!!!!!! And I am sure that NAZIS show up at most political gatherings!!!!!
@Serg97 so what is your logic that says Nazis are Socialists?
@JacksonNought It is in the name!!!!!!!!
@Serg97 oh, ok, so then you do think that North Korea is a Democratic Republic. I mean their official name is The Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
@JacksonNought a simple google search of 'socialist roots of fascism' is all it takes. Try any other browser. Do basic research into where Mussolini got his ideas (he was a prominent socialist in Italy before co-devising and 'fixing' communism into fascism).
You're either too ignorant and stupid when it comes to history or just a brazen, duplicitous liar - or both. I think you're both.
But hey, prove how fascism doesn't have socialist roots, clown . I'll grab the popcorn while I wait for your sophistry
@Tom81 all I hear is "waah waah everything I don't like is socialism".
Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Fascism: a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
See the difference?
Want to know where Fascism, Nazism, and many other evil movements have their roots? Christianity! Do basic research!
I guess you are going to rail against Christianity now, huh? Probably not, you are going to keep saying that it isn't to blame or it isn't "real Christianity" or some sort of sophistry to fight tooth and nail to defend anything that agrees with you and attack anything that doesn't.
You're either too ignorant and stupid when it comes to history or just a brazen, duplicitous liar - or both. I think you're both.
After serving in the Italian army during World War I, Mussolini returned home, looking for a way to unify the Italian people. In 1918, he began to deliver emotional speeches, calling for a dictator to head the country. He argued that only a strong leader could unite the people to overcome Italy’s postwar mass unemployment, chaotic political party conflicts, and strikes by socialists and communists.
In 1919, Mussolini organized his fascist movement in the northern city of Milan. He formed squads of street fighters who wore black shirts. His “Blackshirts” beat up socialists and communists and threw them out of local governments.
The communist revolution in Russia had taken place only two years earlier. Mussolini’s fascist movement quickly gained the support of anti-communist business people, property owners, and middle-class professionals like teachers and doctors.
@JacksonNought I'm surprised you didn't pull the old quote of 'real communism hasn't been tried before' ... Your quote about fascism is near identical to communism in practice.
I never said that communism and fascism are the same, I said they were built on the same foundations and end up operating in much the same manner - brutal, authoritarian, military dictatorship. According to you, that has it's roots in Christianity - nope, both sides (communist and fascist), subvert and tolerate churches (of any given faith) only as far as being able to subvert it and use it for their purposes before ultimately replacing them with the state.
Mussolini was originally a socialist politician and a journalist at the Avanti! newspaper. In 1912, he became a member of the National Directorate of the Italian Socialist Party, but he was expelled from the PSI for advocating military intervention in World War I, in opposition to the party's stance on neutrality.
On numerous occasions, Benito Mussolini identified his economic policies with “state capitalism”—the exact phrase that Vladimir Lenin used to usher in his New Economic Policy (NEP). Lenin wrote: “State capitalism would be a step forward as compared with the present state of affairs in our Soviet Republic.”. After Russia’s economy collapsed in 1921, Lenin allowed privatization and private initiative, and he let the people trade, buy and sell for private profit. Lenin was moving towards a mixed economy. He even demanded that state-owned companies operate on profit/loss principles. Lenin acknowledged that he had to back away from total socialism and allow some capitalism.
Mussolini followed Lenin’s example and proceeded to establish a state-driven economic model in Italy. In essence, Mussolini’s fascism was simply an imitation of Lenin’s “third way,” which combined market-based mechanisms and socialism—similar to Red China’s “market socialism.” In short, Lenin’s revised Marxism culminated in “socialist-lite” policies that helped inspire Mussolini to craft his own Italian-style fascism with a right-wing socialist twist. Thus, one could argue that Lenin’s politics were the first modern-day version of fascism and state-corporatism.
But keep up your 'reeeeeee - everything I don't like is a fascist christian dictatorship'. Your posts give us something other than memes to laugh at.
@Tom81 the only one "reeeeee"-ing here is you. When did I complain that everything is fascist? I never threw out fascism, you are the one who came here crying about socialism (along with serg). All I originally said was that you clearly only see the Nazi flag being flown by one specific political ideology / party, and it ain't the boogeyman antifa doing it.
Though you can use whatever sophistry and mental gymnastics you want, the Bible and Christianity has long been a tool for power and control, and most fascist movements such as Mussolini and Hitler were inspired by and backed by the Church.
@JacksonNought let's address the lies and expose the bullshit in your post:
Rag on all the religions you want. Well, I guess you only have the balls to rag on one.... Still, I don't believe in any institutions as they can be infiltrated, corrupted and subverted - and yes, I can agree that they all are used as a form of control (including your own institution). There is a difference between institutions and the the teachings they promote. You can have belief in whatever religion you want, but have nothing to do with the institutions.
Hitler and Mussolini did not take inspiration from the bible or Christianity, they merely wanted to seize the institutions and corrupt them to consolidate more power. The Roman Catholic church is as corrupt as they come, therefore it was an obvious choice considering how much power it had in Europe at the time.
They took inspiration from the power it held, not from it's ideologies or beliefs.
Leftism / Socialism to you is anything that opposes Right Wing authoritarianism.
The commercial media has ran plenty of stories of Nazi flags at rallies.
Might want to tell that to all of the admitted fascists in America who consistently rail against "socialism". And as I have said before, you can trace the roots of fascism to Christianity, and there are plenty of commonalities, so I guess you can't truly be in favor of Christianity if you are against fascism. That's your logic.
I never said I was in favor of socialism though. That is your projection onto me. The typical strawman, anything that isn't Right Wing authoritarianism / Christian theocracy is socialism. However, I am also not a LaVeyan Satanist.
I rag on plenty of religions. I grew up Jewish and protest against many aspects of Judaism. I protest against many aspects of Islam. I protest Scientology. It just seems as if I only rag on Christianity, because I live in America where it is the dominant religion, and we quite literally have people in government advocating for Christian theocracy, with a good chunk of Americans cheering them on. Maybe when Islam becomes the dominant religion of the country and we have a 77% Muslim supreme court (it is currently 77% Catholic, 88% Christian) then I will devote more efforts to protesting against it.
Hitler quite literally wrote in Mein Kampf that he took inspiration from Christianity and Jesus.
"And the founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of his estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God."
"The völkisch-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will."
In a 1928 speech, he said: "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian."
@JacksonNought
1) I don't care about your opinions, I have absolutely no respect for you or take anything you say seriously. I know that you're just a generic narcissist - a fraud, a lying nobody that hates themselves and everyone that's better. You don't even believe that shit you spout, so... whatever, loser.
2) Yeah, I don't believe that Trump rallies were full of Nazi flags. A pic of a Nazi flag next to a Trump flag proves at a stall (fuck knows where) proves what? Nothing other than people will sell anything. Communist China sells the most Nazi regalia online. You've made no point.
3) And leftists claim that whatever they don't like is 'white supremacy', racist, or whatever phobic. Overplayed card with no meaning or base in logic and reasoning.
As for the Abrahamic religion aspect - I don't know how much clearer I can make it. Maybe if I write it in all upper case? I'M NOT RELIGIOUS. I CAN AGREE WITH CERTAIN IDEAS/LINES OF THOUGHT/TEACHINGS WHILST STILL NOT AGREEING WITH THE TOTALITY OF THE DOGMA. All religions have a good side, bad side and nuanced shades of grey.
Did that help or do I need to make it easier for your black and white world view?
Here's another thing your narcissistic mind might find too difficult to understand - just because I agree or disagree with certain elements of a particular ideology, doesn't mean I support or hate the entire group .
4) Nope, wrong again. I've had disagreements and arguments (and been blocked by) people on the 'right-wing', conservative and religious side. Doesn't mean I hate them, doesn't make them my enemy that I always have to be reactive and contradictory to. I've also agreed on certain points with people whom I generally disagree with.
Your hive mind just does not understand individualism, probably because you don't have an actual personality or sense of 'self' (and most likely why you cling to identity politics and collectivism).
5) I don't miss or ignore points. Sometimes they're just not worth arguing over.
Maybe you're missing points though
I know you're disingenuous and only here for narcissistic supply (the good supply is lacking, so I guess you must be desperate if bad will do).
So why am I responding to your posts if I know that all you want is attention regardless of the means?
Either way, enjoy the attention before disappear into irrelevant obscurity
