Galloway hits Bulls Eye again

[Reverend Blair]

I think fascism is just another form of socialism.

Fascism was typified by attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life.

So you're saying that you think Stephen Harper and George Bush are socialists?

Whatever Rev.

Looks to me like that's what he's saying Rev... :lol: :lol:

 

[Vanni Fucci]

Let's see...prohibitting homosexuals from being married would be a state imposed control over one aspect of life...

Denying women the right to safe abortions would be another...

Denying the rights of minorities...

Denying the right to fair trials...

I got a headache, so I'll stop right there before it gets any worse...

... I think fascism is just another form of socialism ...

It doesn't matter what you think, Jay, fascism is and was, by definition, violently opposed to socialism. There are historical - or, more pertinently, politically opportune - reasons that Hitler chose to call his doctrine "National Socialism" (I won't bore you with the facts, as I know that sort of thing doesn't interest you), but calling something "socialism" doesn't make it so, whether it's you or Adolf doing the calling.

Fascism, by defintion, is anti-Marxist, anti-communist, anti-proletarian, anti-liberal, anti-parliamentarian, anti-democratic, anti-internationalist ... the list goes on, but the point is fascism, and Hitler, is/was violently opposed to just about everything that came out the libertarian movements of the C18th and C19th. (I could add that Hitler's own virulent anti-socialism (he had lots of communists killed, I recall) was further heightened by his anti-semitism( Marx being Jewish, and socialism part of the supposed "Jewish conspiracy")).

I would rest my case, but there was never a case to answer to begin with.
