Is Fascism Right Or Left?

[David Kent]

Seriously? One of the hallmarks of leftism is to spend money on social programs and deny the military money.

If you are saying communism is leftist then you must agree that Nazism was far right fascism, simply by the fact that Hitler outlawed communism!

Exactly. Hitler spent millions on military and arms. His investing into technology resulted in the V! flying bomb, for instance. My wife came across a map of flying bombs that came down in our coutny of Kent. There were 2400, 200 more than on London, but then you wouldn't know about those.
He also investen in rocket technology, which was stolen by the US and USSR to develop their own systems. They were also well on the way to developing an A bomb. It was British specialist forces who delayed the program, by sabotaging some of their plants, like the heavy water factory in Norway.

Calling the poor lazy when someone like Donnie from Queens inherits his money from his Pop.

Nice

Some of them are lazy but that doesn't explain the victim blaming. Who is the victim?

 

[Matt Black]

Primarily the poor and vulnerable at the margins of society; those mentioned in Matt 25

No it doesn't but you'd best ask Reynolds that not me

Leftists like you are the problem.
I am a realist. I have enough sense to separate reality from Mambyy pamby land. I will give an example that maybe even someone like you will understand. In the town in which I worked when I retired from the Police force, we had a very high crime area. You did not answer calls there by yourself unless you were prepared for a heck of a fight. We had a young officer who thought he was man enough to not wait for backup. When we got there, he was literally being beat to death. We saved him (fractured skull) and arrested the perps. His going in alone in no way excused, justified, nor mitigated the blame on his attackers. He was a "victim." However, it was his fault and his fault alone that he became a victim. When he returned to work, he was disciplined. "Victims" quite often cause themselves to become victims. People have a responsibility to use common sense.

Apples and oranges, and your patronising tone made me rightly ignore the rest of whatever point you thought you had

But who made them victims? As a teenager my family of 4 sisters, 1 brother all younger than I were a welfare family in the State of Louisiana living in a housing project.

No incentive was ever given to be self sufficient and in fact it was discouraged.

I went looking for part time work and when I told our social worker she saw to it that I was issued a monthly cash award for school expenses including lunch money. I needed no receipts other than a form which I filled out enumerating expenses.They didn't cross check the attendance rolls and she let me know that info so I could fill in days I missed.

She arranged for and sent me to our local parish church monthly where I was issued "Vatican money". I used it to purchase bread and cold cuts for my lunch (and other groceries) . I often walked to school (twelve NOLA blocks) and saved the street car as well as the lunch money.

She connected me with the Salvation Army which (for some strange reason) was the government surplus food center. My girlfriend and I used a little wagon for the ten block trek (20 round trip) to bring the voluminous goodies home.

She found out my step father (who was in jail and the reason we were on welfare) was from a masonic family and connected us to the local Free Masons who periodically brought us baskets of food, clothing and toys along with a doctor who made house calls and supplied us with our medicine.

A local Baptist Church (where some of the Masons attended) also supplied things for the younger children (diapers, bottles, etc). Although she didn't explicitly say we were entitled to all these things (and more if we could get it) it was definitely implied.

In fact my youth as a teenager in Louisiana was actually quite pleasant (apart from the cockroaches) living in the projects.

America! no wonder the world wants to come here.

I don't. I think it is a nightmare.
Mexicans want to go there for work. But rich Americans want to go to Mexico for tax advantages.

 

[Matt Black]

I don't either. I wouldn't want to live somewhere with so many guns for starters and no safety net for the poor

All that shows is our welfare system has created a generational class of lazy people.

No it shows like any country we have needy people. Other countries choose to give them adequate support. We refuse to do so.

The real leftists in communist USSR and China spent a great deal of money of the military.

20 million illegal aliens of all nations many of which have risked their lives,spent their fortunes, left all including family (many) behind, prove that EVERYONE wants America because of its GREATNESS.

Don't see any (well almost any) breaking into Russia, China, No. Korea, Venezuela, Guatemala, Honduras, etc. etc, etc... in similar fashion.

Go back to sleep those of you who feel differently.

Many risk their lives trying to get to Europe. Is that because of its greatness?

Yes because of America's influence.

 

[David Kent]

The communists were based on the teaching of Marx and Engels, who incidentally got a lot of their communist ideas from the Shakers.

Hitler's plan was based on the Jesuits teaching, that everybody should obey without question, the orders of their superiors. Nazi ism was Catholicism in action.

 

[David Kent]

Yes because of America's influence.

Nonsense.

 

[HankD]

Nonsense.

Think again - we helped win WWII in Europe.

Buy a gun and a dog and you will be as safe as you can be compared to anywhere else.

So did the Soviets.

I don't have gun or a dog, but I feel safer than I would in your country.

 

[Revmitchell]

Only because of your own ignorance

 

[Matt Black]

I have a dog but there is no way I would own a gun
