From DG;
" G; You missed the point. I was commenting on the fact that you say things that, at the best, are exaggerations....extroplations of things that might happen in another place and time but which have not happened here. You write about socialist countries and their behavior as if there are a lot of them.
There are not. In fact, as time goes by, there are increasingly fewer.
About NAZIs...despite the presence of Socialist in the name, NAZIs were rabidly anti socialist and anti marxist."
First off, I want to thank you that you are willing to discuss point-for-point, conceerning issues. That is heartening.. Yes, the things I outlined, have
not happened here...yet .
But by observing socialism for many years and reading what I consider reliable historians..many who EXPERIENCED the subject of their writing
(e.g. Solschenizen)... and reading what leaders of such ideaologies have said themselves. ( Marx, Engel, hitler, Mao, Alinsky etc.)
Our western (US) freedom has been determined around our Constitution. Perhaps you c an say we Americans have been politically spoiled
until now..anchored by the Constitution, and our unique fporm of government.
Yes, the Nazis were anti Soviet (socialist).. Hitler and Stalin,both behaving like a couple girls at their junior prom..where both show up wearing
the same dress or hair-do.
Of course, thiir relationship is far more dangerous, being as they controlled nations and armies.
Socialism, Communism and Nazism share so many features, that they are almost like "two peas in a pod", so to speak.
All 3 cater to groups as compared to individuals, all 3 seek control of the means of production, and all 3 deal regularly in serious propaganda.
Nazism, Marxism and today's woke 'Socialists' each have one or more scape goat groups..
Nazis, hated the Jews and socialists,
Marxists..hate capitalists, Christians and Jews,
Woke Socialists hate capitalists, conservatives, Christians, and the nuclear family.
There seem to be some popular (although not universal) distinctions among the proponents of the new,
woke Socialism.. A)An easy life even though not working.
B) A hatred of the wealthy, whether the welthy earned it or not.
C) A world view that prompts them to render fealtyu to government
D) for many, a depraved life style.. which may be why they hate God.
E) No sense of patriotism or loyalty to anything..other than a certain political stance.
When a conservative meets a leftist, he considers him a political opponent, and normally he tries to discuss differences, perhaps even
finding common ground on some things.
When a leftist encounters a conservative, right away the coonservative is the "enemy", and there is no point in discussing anything..because
all conservatives are "racist" and a "white supremacist"...so nothing he has to say is of any value.
Socialism..controls production, controls speech and does not recognize the individual.
Nazism.. all the above, plus stricter control over industry and the people
Communism,.. all the above two, plus OWNERSHIP of industry and agriculture..and like Nazism has death camps, plus gulags.
These people are by nature "control freaks' and grasp for power..even after installed..keep repressing the people more nad more, so they can gain
COMPLETE control of their "subjects" lives..
People who accept Socialism, must needs to surrender many their choices to government..and control freaks will take all ythe power they can seize onto.
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely"
