Then why even ask questions?What you've done here...is ask a series of questions, with limited answers.1. Which stem from the works of Karl Marx?.....Socialist governments like Communist China, the former Soviet Republic, and North KoreaRight winger....right....that's why Hitler was head of the National Socialists
I challenge you to answer these questions:
Nazism, communism, socialism..Liberalism, Progressivism,.and fascism....
1. Which stem from the works of Karl Marx?
2. Which is a form of command and control big government?
3. Which has no problem with genocide, actual or figurative, as an accepted procedure on its political enemies?
4. Which is based on the collective over the individual?
5. Which oppresses and/or slaughters its own citizens as pro forma (including depriving them of a living)....?
6. Which represents totalitarian governance?
7. Which believes that mandating/dictating every aspect of their citizen's lives is their prerogative?
8. Which aims for an all-encompassing state that centralizes power to perfect human nature by controlling every aspect of life
9. Which restricts free speech and thought?
10. Which can be summed up in Hegel's “The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest”
And, of course, they all are do...they are all consubstantial.
Nazism
Communism
Socialism
Fascism
Progressivism
Liberalism
That's right: every one, a Left-wing doctrine!!!
How about pointing out which of them are defenders of religious, political, and economic freedom, and recognize the individual as the most important element of society?
Right....none of 'em.
Only right wing philosophies...i.e., conservatism.
In your face, you dolt.....
2. Which is a form of command and control big government?.....any form of government in use by big countries
3. Which has no problem with genocide, actual or figurative, as an accepted procedure on its political enemies?....any government or opposition that employs those measures, including Theocratic, Nationalist, or Socialist governments in military conflict.
4. Which is based on the collective over the individual?...Theocratic and Socialist governments focus on the collective, and secular governments tend to focus on individuals
5. Which oppresses and/or slaughters its own citizens as pro forma (including depriving them of a living)....no correlation.
6. Which represents totalitarian governance?...no correlation
7. Which believes that mandating/dictating every aspect of their citizen's lives is their prerogative?...Theocracies.
8. Which aims for an all-encompassing state that centralizes power to perfect human nature by controlling every aspect of life...Theocracies
9. Which restricts free speech and thought?...Theocracies and Totalitarian governments
10. Which can be summed up in Hegel's “The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest”.......Theocracies and Totalitarian governments
You seem to go out of your way to "misunderstand."
Example...
"1. Which stem from the works of Karl Marx?.....Socialist governments like Communist China, the former Soviet Republic, and North Korea"
The query referred ONLY to communism, fascism, Liberalism, Progressivism, socialism, Nazism.
To characterize your response: 'That was quite possibly the most poorly thought out response I've seen, maybe ever, on this site.'
Do you not see the problem with all that?
What I've done is provide an exercise the result of which proves that the basis of communism, fascism, Liberalism, Progressivism, socialism, Nazism is, very much, identical.
That was my point, and I accomplished same.
Proving that you would not address same in an honest manner was a bonus.
Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Nazism, Democracies, Dictatorships, Theocracies, and Socialism are forms of government.
Liberalism, Libertarianism, and Conservatism are ways in which political parties lean within each one of those forms of government.
You're conflating them...ala Glenn Beck style.
And why not...historical revisionism helps accomplish that
You have it backwards.Was General MacArthur a commie pinko fascist when he said, "For the framers of the Constitution were the liberal thinkers of all ages and the charter they produced out of the liberal revolution of their time has never been and is not now surpassed in liberal thought."
Clearly, he was incorrect....if he referred to Modern Liberals...the name John Dewey applied to the Socialists.
The Framers were Classical Liberals, known today as conservatives, who created a nation based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
Now, just to see if you understand this.....communism, fascism, modern liberalism, Progressivism, Nazism, and socialism....
....which of them are based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government?
You're not afraid to answer....

WHY REPUBLICANS HATE LIBERALS.
Republicans think they are better than everyone else and Liberals prove that isn't so.

There are MANY surveys etc that prove that blacks continue to be discriminated against in the USA.

At first...the repressive post WWII "June and Ward Clever" or "Ozzy and Harriet" way of life was leaving too many people out, as all manner of diversity couldn't prosper within it.
So the 60's brought about a much less repressive and puritanical way of life here.
By the 70's, the hippies started realizing that they needed jobs, police protection, and the druggies either overdosed, or figured out that criminal elements had seized control of their drug supply. Not to mention addiction issues.
The 80's signaled a return to emphasis on wealth, so did the 90's.
What righties don't seem to realize, is that the pendulum has swung back on liberals. Not that there is any kind of impending demise going to happen...but conservatives in this country are NOT the victims of liberalism the GOP wants them to think they are
This is about a behavior, a tactic, of the Left. And I lean Left, by the way.
When it's virtually impossible to criticize a black liberal in any way without someone screaming "racist" to put that person on the defensive and divert the conversation, we all lose. It shuts down communication. And that definitely appears to be the goal.
We're all victims of this, not just conservatives, and I strongly feel that the BIGGEST victims of this behavior are American Blacks.
And now, as the list of links I provided illustrates, more and more honest liberals are agreeing with me.
.
I somewhat agree, just not about the victimhood aspects.
The black experience in America is different from all other racial/cultural demographics.
Generally, whites caused the socio-economic disadvantages blacks had from 1870-1970.
I don't believe whites still create economic disadvantages for blacks, but social disadvantages remain.
Blacks faced oppression from whites from 1600-1970. Anti discrimination measures have only been in effect since 1970, and the correction will take as long as it takes...because statistics still indicate the long term effects of disadvantages remain for blacks as a whole.
Does that mean there has to be a double standard for what a non black says, and what a black says?...no
But as a white male...not calling black person the "N" word is not a big problem

1. Using the results of one study alone, I can prove that blacks are their own worst enemy....and then explain why
Report: Negligent Parenting Hurts Black Students' Performance
"Overall, white homes had 2.5 times as many books as black homes.
But the most surprising finding is that the top quintile of black homes reported having fewer books (69) than the bottom quintile of white homes (71).
Report Negligent Parenting Hurts Black Students Performance"
Quick Hits Page - The Rush Limbaugh Show
Report: Negligent Parenting Hurts Black Students' Performance
Can you imagine???? More books in the homes of the of the lowest quintile of whites, than the highest quintile of blacks!!!!!
Outside of psychobabble, there is no explanation for this that involves 'oppression' or 'discrimination.'
Libraries are free to all, and Amazon sells to anyone.
2. The explanation?
Democrats/Liberals have taught blacks that they are oppressed, and have no need to better themselves....
...their great friends, the Democrats/Liberals will take care of them!
Hence.....they ignore the course other groups have used: education.
Democrats have deprived blacks of the pleasures of striving and succeeding.
Or....perhaps Democrats don't believe that black Americans can do either.....
Speech is abridged by government-funded institutions to support the social engineering that the government endorses.
Say the magic words, "I'm offended!," and Liberal government jumps in to erase freedoms, including free speech.
9. In a philosophy class at Marquette University (a Catholic school, no less), no opinion opposed to same-sex marriage is allowed. This was the conversation between a student and instructor Cheryl Abbate:"
Student: Regardless of why I'm against gay marriage, it's still wrong for the teacher of a class to completely discredit one person's opinion when they may have different opinions.
Abbate: Ok, there are some opinions that are not appropriate that are harmful, such as racist opinions, sexist opinions, and quite honestly, do you know if anyone in the class is homosexual?
Student: No, I don't.
Abbate: And don't you think that that would be offensive to them if you were to raise your hand and challenge this?
Student: If I choose to challenge this, it's my right as an American citizen.
Abbate: Ok, well, actually you don't have a right in this class, as ... especially as an ethics professor, to make homophobic comments, racist comments, sexist comments ...
Abbate: How I would experience would be similar to how someone who is in this room and who is homosexual who would experience someone criticizing this.
Student: Ok, so because they are homosexual I can't have my opinions? And it's not being offensive towards them because I am just having my opinions on a very broad subject.
Abbate: You can have whatever opinions you want but I can tell you right now, in this class homophobic comments, racist comments, and sexist comments will not be tolerated. If you don't like that you are more than free to drop this class." Stripping a Professor of Tenure Over a Blog Post
And so, Liberal universities are funded by all taxpayers, in order to turn out cadres of totalitarians.
So much for this once noble experiment called 'America.'

Blacks faced oppression from whites from 1600-1970. Anti discrimination measures have only been in effect since 1970, and the correction will take as long as it takes...because statistics still indicate the long term effects of disadvantages remain for blacks as a whole.
Does that mean there has to be a double standard for what a non black says, and what a black says?...no
But as a white male...not calling black person the "N" word is not a big problem
1. Using the results of one study alone, I can prove that blacks are their own worst enemy....and then explain why
Report: Negligent Parenting Hurts Black Students' Performance
"Overall, white homes had 2.5 times as many books as black homes.
But the most surprising finding is that the top quintile of black homes reported having fewer books (69) than the bottom quintile of white homes (71).

Can you imagine???? More books in the homes of the of the lowest quintile of whites, than the highest quintile of blacks!!!!!
Outside of psychobabble, there is no explanation for this that involves 'oppression' or 'discrimination.'
Libraries are free to all, and Amazon sells to anyone.
2. The explanation?
Democrats/Liberals have taught blacks that they are oppressed, and have no need to better themselves....
...their great friends, the Democrats/Liberals will take care of them!
Hence.....they ignore the course other groups have used: education.
Democrats have deprived blacks of the pleasures of striving and succeeding.
Or....perhaps Democrats don't believe that black Americans can do either.....
Speech is abridged by government-funded institutions to support the social engineering that the government endorses.
Say the magic words, "I'm offended!," and Liberal government jumps in to erase freedoms, including free speech.
9. In a philosophy class at Marquette University (a Catholic school, no less), no opinion opposed to same-sex marriage is allowed. This was the conversation between a student and instructor Cheryl Abbate:"
Student: Regardless of why I'm against gay marriage, it's still wrong for the teacher of a class to completely discredit one person's opinion when they may have different opinions.
Abbate: Ok, there are some opinions that are not appropriate that are harmful, such as racist opinions, sexist opinions, and quite honestly, do you know if anyone in the class is homosexual?
Student: No, I don't.
Abbate: And don't you think that that would be offensive to them if you were to raise your hand and challenge this?
Student: If I choose to challenge this, it's my right as an American citizen.
Abbate: Ok, well, actually you don't have a right in this class, as ... especially as an ethics professor, to make homophobic comments, racist comments, sexist comments ...
Abbate: How I would experience would be similar to how someone who is in this room and who is homosexual who would experience someone criticizing this.
Student: Ok, so because they are homosexual I can't have my opinions? And it's not being offensive towards them because I am just having my opinions on a very broad subject.
Abbate: You can have whatever opinions you want but I can tell you right now, in this class homophobic comments, racist comments, and sexist comments will not be tolerated. If you don't like that you are more than free to drop this class." Stripping a Professor of Tenure Over a Blog Post
And so, Liberal universities are funded by all taxpayers, in order to turn out cadres of totalitarians.
So much for this once noble experiment called 'America.'
About that same Marquette U....
Jodi O’Brien (Wisconsin)
"O’Brien, a sociology professor at Seattle University who is openly a lesbian and writes about sexuality, was originally offered a job as dean of one of Marquette University’s colleges. In May 2010, her offer was rescinded.
The Roman Catholic and Jesuit-run University told the New York Times that she lacked “the ability to represent the Marquette mission and identity.” University President Rev. Robert A. Wild argued that the choice not to hire O’Brien wasn’t due to her sexuality, but rather to her academic writing, in which he found “strongly negative statements about marriage and family.”
O’Brien has written extensively about the topic of gay marriage; if this isn’t discrimination based on sexual orientation, it’s certainly discrimination based on beliefs about sexual orientation. Is there a substantial difference between the two?"
Looks like the conservatives at Marquette get to do their own discriminating and what you would call denial of free speech rights, eh?
