Progressivs and the Nazi regime

[Votto]

I've come on here before and make comparisons about the Nazi regime and modern day progressives. Despite the objection of Godwin and company, the comparisons are far to easy to make. For example:

1. Both were in love with Keynesian economics. In fact, it was said that the Nazi regime proved Keynesian economics worked before the theory had been finished. Keynes even admired the Nazi regime and remarked that a totalitarian state was ideal to implement his theory. Conversely, a free market was most unsuitable for properly implementing his theory.

2. Since both followed Keynesian theory, both ran massive deficits. In fact, Hitler forbad passing budgets after 1935, much like we have seen in Congress for years. Neither like to bring attention to their spending with wreckless abandon.

3. Both spend their money on two major projects. They spend money on the military and massive entitlements to help quell a war weary populace. By all accounts it works. In fact, Germany was the first to mandate health insurance.

4. Both are obsessed with the environment and animal rights.

5. Both favor gun control and Hitler was the first to achieve this goal.

6. Both have the dream of a one world order with them pulling the strings behind the curtain.

But I digress. I've always seen how progressives follow the Nazi way of thinking, but I've never considered how the Nazi regime may have followed the progressives at the turn of the 20th century until now.

It seems that mainstream scientists within the US at the turn of the 20 century were obsessed with eugenics. The question must be asked, to what degree did they fuel the flames of the Holocaust?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Any imbecile with a cut umbilical cord can make comparisons.

Geesh, you're quite the simpleton. Jethro, Jethro is that really you?

Hitler, Stalin and Mao REQUIRED BIG GOVERNMENT to execute their visions.

Could Hitler or Stalin or Mao have done what they did with a small constitutional government?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The back gate of asylum is open again and the loonies are running all over the place.

A large constitutional government would have let Stalin, Mao, or Hitler happen, either.

Morons.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

A large constitutional government

That statement is a contradiction

Just look at Obama's regime.

What Constitution?

And lost the ‘argument’ accordingly, as is currently the case.

I agree with your assessment. Early "progressives" such as Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger were, indeed, sympathetic to the Nazis and supported their cause.

Sanger and Wilson were racist segragationists who despised the black race and Jews. Sanger was well known for her "final solution" for blacks and those she deemed "inferior".

Many historians have long credited Sanger for inspiring Hitler with his "final solution".

Wrong, dipstick.

Prescott Bush, who financed Hitler, was a progressive? Someone should tell the Bush family.

Bush never financed Hitler, asshole.

This is the collectivist vision of health care from their own mouths.

Funny how they only care about costs when it comes to you living or dying.

So instead of discriminating on race, they do so on such things as age and cost.

Well let's see, with the IRS in charge of health care I can't imagine this being abused by doing such things as targeting political opponents.

"So say they gave money to the Tea Party, eh? Too bad, doesn't look like that cardiac bypass is in your future son."

I really don't give a damn. They need to be called what they are.

Stuff that people write on an internet message board for shits & giggles and to poke at their adversaries is one thing. Hitler comparisons. HITLER. Okay, well, it's the internet.

But when many of these people represent and provide most of the energy within a national party, that party has some serious issues to address before things get completely out of hand.

[Vox]

Nazi regime was a variation of the leftist political dream.

so, yes, they not only resemble each other, they basically are the same

If Hitler did not single out Jews for extermination, would you still object to the comparison? After all, the US has troops in over 70 countries around the world and growing. Not even Hitler could brag that much control.

Personally, I think that abortion is murder. If so, they have killed over 50 million in the US to date.

Of course, you don't agree. Oh well, see you in hell.

Incidentally, I could care less about the GOP.

People should start calling them what they were, national socialists.

For me, the left/right label is meaningless. It all comes down to collectivism.

If you noticed, at the turn of the 20th century Wilson created the collectivist state in the US through such legislation as a federal income tax and central bank in order to create a war machine to fight off the collectivists in Europe. Then FDR further centralized the government to help fight off the Nazi war machine.

By all accounts, it would appear that in order to build an army capable of world domination, collectivism is the key. Just be careful not to become what you are fighting, because it is next to impossible to stop the slide.
