"abdominally dumb" whimpered:
Baron_Mind was laughing at the intentional ignorance of: "rf_not" writhed in sociopathic denials because: Baron_Mind was pointing out the obvious, as it escaped laughing at: "no brainer" whimpered: Baron_Mind was having a laugh, at the expense of: "night light, underpants" regurgitated the usual right-wing ignorance: Everyone knows that liberals are crypto-fascists. That would be a logical fallacy.. --Fascism has always been a right-wing ideology, per history.. LOL!!! Ah yes, another brainwash So, you cited a web-log to support your foolishness? How quaint.. Now, for the historic facts.. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_...3/Fascism.html Compared to Other Radical Right-Wing Ideologies "Although fascism comes in many forms, not all radical right-wing movements are fascist. In France in the 1890s, for example, the Action Franaise movement started a campaign to overthrow the democratic government of France and restore the king to power. Although this movement embraced the violence and the antidemocratic tendencies of fascism, it did not develop the fascist myth of revolutionary rebirth through popular power. There have also been many movements that were simply nationalist but with a right-wing political slant. In China, for example, the Kuomintang (The Chinese National Peoples Party), led by Chiang Kai-shek, fought leftist revolutionaries until Communists won control of China in 1949. Throughout the 20th century this type of right-wing nationalism was common in many military dictatorships in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Fascism should also be distinguished from right-wing separatist movements that set out to create a new nation-state rather than to regenerate an existing one. This would exclude cases such as the Nazi puppet regime in Croatia during World War II. This regime, known as the Ustae government, relied on paramilitary groups to govern, and hoped that their support for Nazism would enable Croatia to break away from Yugoslavia. This separatist goal distinguishes the Ustae from genuine fascist movements." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism Position in the political spectrum "Fascism is normally described as "extreme right", but writers on the subject have often found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum difficult. There is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both the left and the right. A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things. The historians Eugen Weber, David Renton, and Robert Soucy view fascism as on the ideological right. Rod Stackelberg argues that fascism opposes egalitarianism (particularly racial) and democracy, which according to him are characteristics that make it an extreme right-wing movement. Stanley Payne states that pre-war fascism found a coherent identity through alliances with right-wing movements. Roger Griffin argues that since the end of World War II, fascist movements have become intertwined with the radical right, describing certain groups as part of a "fascist radical right". Walter Laqueur says that historical fascism "did not belong to the extreme Left, yet defining it as part of the extreme Right is not very illuminating either", but that it "was always a coalition between radical, populist ('fascist') elements and others gravitating toward the extreme Right". Payne says "fascists were unique in their hostility to all the main established currents, left right and center", noting that they allied with both left and right, but more often the right. However, he contends that German Nazism was closer to Russian communism than to any other non-communist system." Recovering Liberals Speaking of elitism, when are you going to quit pretending that your failed political ideology is above questioning? Oh - enlighten us Enlighten yourself, if that's your path, neophyte.. --Yours is no disgrace.. |
