King Corn is a good watch too.
Thanks! I've added it to my Netflix queue. I could "Watch Instantly" if I can find some time this weekend.

Nice!
Unfortunately, that does nothing to address the fact that NAZIism was based on teh Soviet model (state controoled authoritarianism handing out goodie bags to the populace while taking control of commerce & industry)
That is a common misconception and I would not fault you for the mistake. I've read books that explain this in excellent details. The Nazi's used Nationalsozialist in their party name Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (or NSDAP or Nazi, from Nationalsozialist) but their platform stressed the failures of democracy, liberalism and communism. The fact that the Nazi's targeted and persecuted (and murdered) communists within their reach pushed Stalin and the Soviet Union to sign a non-aggression pact. This pact was violated when Hitler planned and executed the invasion of The Soviet Union by German and Finnish troops bringing The Soviet Union (as unready as it was) into WWII.
Damn... I guess Spike explained it before I could post mine. Yet I see no one is listening. I'm not sure why so many cling so eagerly to their ignorance. :rolleyes:

Look really... go look this stuff up yourselves if you don't believe what we're saying here. Please... your ignorance is embarrassing.

so you're saying it was based directly on the soviet model as a matter of historical fact? or that's just something you've put together in your own mind and are now asserting?

my understanding is that yes, the nazis seized a lot of the corporations but in fact it was more about power consolidation and mobilization of forces than a true commitment to any kind of "leftist" ideals, and that the overall emphasis - where the real ideological force was centered - was the whole aryan/german/master race thing. i think most historians would tend to agree, but i'll leave it to you to do your own research.

one thing is for certain. nominally qualifying something as "leftist" based on a name, or a couple characteristics, is a far cry from showing it to be substantially the case. all shitpot "revolutionary" groups are "freedom fighters," and every nation that has ever leveraged control over private industry even for the briefest moment is "commie," right? :bgtup:

i'm wondering, was the US a leftist nation during WW2?

yeah val i'm not sure that i really put much faith in the link spike posted, considering that it's a communist site, and those guys would of course want to distance themselves from nazis. there are some economic resemblances between the two, though more superficial and relating to mobilization rather than being truly akin.

I've read (it's been awhile) that they were the perfect leninist (does that fit your mold better?) state except they wanted to admit to the government being in charge. National healthcare, governement run banks, government controlled business's, etc. Hell, I even saw somewher that the reason the swastika was red was in tribute.

Yes.

Lincoln fired that shot first. He forced the states to join or be destroyed.

Read up on Teddy Roosevelt. He was a proper European progressive. Although, he was a base amateur compared to Wilson. (how many Americans did he jail for speaking out?)

The progressive movement has been here a long time. They change the name & emphasize new & interestring material every few years when they piss us off too much.

Never let a crisis go to waste. FDR didn't.

No they were clearly fascists. Where'd you hear this stuff?

fascism is not a "conservative" philosophy...

...for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

No, it's right wing though. Just like communism is not a "liberal" philosophy.

"Conservatives" only one part of the right wing philosophies. "Liberals" are only one part of left wing philosophies.

Fascism happens to be right wing.

"Fascism was originally founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined left-wing and right-wing political views, but it gravitated to the political right in the early 1920s.[7][8] Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right of the conventional left-right political spectrum"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

forcible suppression of opposition

Remember all the righties that were calling anyone (rightfully) against the Iraq War "anti-American", "traitors", "terrorist sympathizers", etc? They were starting to push the envelope pretty hard into fascism.

Those were THE PEOPLE, not our elected representatives. Can't be a fascist if you're a tradesman.

Wikipedia...shall I go change that?

Go ahead, try it. The correction should be made pretty quick.

Wrong, it was some people who were leaning into fascism. You can be a fascist if you support fascism. Just like any other political philosophy.

It was a test to see if you'd want to look at dicks on parade. Clearly you were interested. :laugh:

Maybe you're a self hating type?
