POTUS 45.65: I'm Just Here For The Lincoln Project Ads

Chuck, here's reality. Not that I expect you to read it.
  • Pol Pot -- absolutely a Leftist and his murders derived absolutely from authoritarian Leftism. This is a fair cop.
  • Mao -- absolutely a Leftist. Many of his murders did derive from authoritarian Leftism. Most (the famines) came from bad management, but I'm willing to add them to his count as a Leftist.
  • Stalin -- a push. His murders came from his paranoia and the drive by an absolutist state to silence all dissent. The ideology of the state was ostensibly Left but with Putin we see the same thing as Right.
  • Hitler -- Rightwing authoritarianism. All the hallmarks of the Right: racism, misogyny, violence, militarism, the cult of the flag. All of Hitler's deaths -- the entire WW2 theater and the Holocaust -- are Right.

Kep, I give you credit for responding, and basically admitting you agree with most of what I said. We will sadly have to agree to disagree on Hitler, which (once again) is based on the FACT he was a Socialist. Nazi = National Socialist German Workers’ Party. I mean, it's right there in the title. It's not like it's really all that debatable, actually.

But we've made some progress today, so I'm not going to be unappreciative, and wear out my welcome.

That, my friends, is called "grace". More of you should try it once in a while. Used to work wonders.

I'll finish with the usual cartoon just to remind you folks who's the "authoritarians" these days ...

I admit I legitimately laughed out loud by chuck's calling me a racist for pointing out that Jason Whitlock is a grifting sack of ****.

Because Jason Whitlock is a grifting sack of ****.

Glad I could lighten your load for a few seconds, Swannie. The grifting thing, as you know, you added late to the game.

Just giving you a slice of how life is when folks on your side jump in with the cancel culture BS. Feels crappy, doesn't it?

When you follow The Golden Rule, this stuff doesn't have to get in the way. We certainly didn't make the "new rules" ...
 
The used fear of the authoritarian leftist ignores how well all of the EU is run and how good of rights they all have.

The only restricted right is to be a nazi.
 
Russia today is what America would be after a couple decades of Trump.

How exactly were we gonna have "a couple of decades of Trump"? Enlighten me, please??

Or is this an admission we're currently on Obama's 3rd term, and going for his 4th & 5th soon via Michelle???

I gotta admit, the stuff I learn on here every day is just frickin' ... uh ... uh-amazing ... yeah, "amazing"!!!

I think you confuse my laughter for something else entirely.

You are a deeply unserious person. You "argue" in bad faith. You constantly misstate and distort facts, or ignore them outright.

One of those distorted, or more likely and intentional neglecting of, facts is that the Nazis started as socialists. They were when Hitler joined, but as he rose to power, he discarded 90% of the Nazis’ economic agenda in favor of government-corporate capitalism. He used the power off the States’s purse to push businesses to adopt industrial initiatives in line with his own desires, giving the business owners’ great wealth via profits on sales they would then make to the government. In addition to that, he gave them slave labor from the concentration (“work”) camps. While he did allow some pure-blood Germans to receive the dole, they were often shamed if not old or feeble.

It’s funny how the Grifting Old People’s party can’t make it past a legacy name to see what the facts of history have to show them in terms of actual deeds performed.

I patiently await Chuckles explanation of how it was the Democrats who fought to keep slavery, but we can't eliminate any of those old Southern Civil War memorabilia like flags and statues because *gestures wildly* reasons.
 
Wait. Nazi's were socialists because "socialism" was in their name? What in the actual fook? Chuck, please tell me you're having fun poking the bear and don't actually believe that's true.

"...most supporters of Nazism embraced the party precisely because they saw it as an enemy of and an alternative to the political left. "

The Nazi regime had little to do with socialism, despite it being prominently included in the name of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

Unlike much of the European left, many conservatives proved willing to work with Nazis — something they later regretted — an association that tainted postwar European conservatism.

Is that supposed to be hurtful?? Jeez, you better pay closer attention Swannie, Kep just admitted I was mostly (I say entirely) correct. I don't have to play your game by your rules, so get over it. Deal with it, you're an adult(?).

I tellya, sometimes coming on here is amusing ... and sometimes I leave with the feeling that someone on here is gonna open a vein and bleed out, given the level of misinformation and propaganda you lot have swallowed hook line & sinker, and how sensitive you are to criticism that you think nothing of doling out to others. A lot of you are outwardly critical of traditional religion on here ... yet you've woven yourselves an incredibly bleak and bitter collection of thoughts and beliefs that (ironically) act as your own secular substitute for old-style religion. Congrats!
 
Stalin was also an anti-Semitic conspiracy monger and an anti-intellectual.

China today is what the Soviets dreamed of. An almost-perfect surveillance state thanks to modern tech, with a blended economy heavily under CCP control (or outright CCP-owned), and a thin veneer of red paint and Maoism. Vietnam is also rapidly going down that path as a Beijing satellite.

Russia today is what America would be after a couple decades of Trump.

I thought Vietnam was more capitalist than the US now. But I haven't really been paying attention.

The CCP is really the type of state capitalism Dump, Bezos, Musk et al want: completely unhinged, unregulated development with no regard for the environment or human rights, but for the benefit of a very small and strictly gatekept elite, and all backed by the overwhelming coercive power of a totalitarian surveillance state. Society as an Amazon warehouse.
 
Is the clown literally accusing us of what he is afflicted with? Nice try. Better visit a professional to get that projection out of your system.
