Food for thought: fascism

[westwall]

When you have nothing of substance to report, you go ahead and put words on the screen of no substance.

Feel free to list the goals of progressives and then I will happily give you the fascist analog. It's really, really easy to do. Remember, the progressives in the US and the UK LOVED Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin. They lauded their "strength of will" in imposing collectivism on their various subjects/victims.

LOL, speaking of history:

Hitler’s Americans <P>They included Father Charles E. Coughlin, who was on the Nazi’s payroll. | History News Network

Yeah? So? Care to address the point I made that progressive polices look eerily the same as fascist policies.

You're welcome; there is nothing in reality to equate progressives with fascists. Nice try, but you lack the skills to be sophist which you aspire to be.

There isn't? Me thinks you've never read a history book in that case.

Might want to crack one open someday. You might, and it's a very big might, learn something.

In chomsky land the Cambodian mass murders under pol pot were a good thing.

Sure you want to hook your wagon to a supporter of mass murder like him?

You've been taught to view history in a binary manner, that is what they told you was good and what they told wasn't.
Fascism, Socialism, totalitarianism are all just tools. Tools can be used for a variety of jobs. You'll fight to your last breath to say Hitler wasn't, nor did he use Socialism when that's EXCATLY what he did, why? Because the German people were ripe for a sweeping change, the treaty of Versailles basically raped Germany and they were tired of doing without. Hitler grabbed the right tool bend the people to accept what he wanted them to accept.

This ^^^ is not a rebuttal nor is it on topic. Hitler's policy put millions of people in graves, there is nothing progressive about that.

My history minor was primarily not taught, per se, since the syllabus reading list was mostly primary sources, letters, speeches, photographs, news papers and magazines, discussed in small groups by the students, moderated by TA's.

In your vast library, the books of substance will include source notes, i.e. primary sources from the past. They tell the real story of their place and time in the past - good, bad and sometimes mundane.

The bodies in photographs of Nazi death camps are not tools, they are depictions of reality, life and death under a totalitarian machine.

I know so many on trump's side of the aisle will not read and consider this long article on fascism, and it's history and common characteristics of fascist movements. In fact some have already posted support for much of what trump has done and is doing which mirrors many bullet points of fascism.
