I listen to the news and peruse Twitter a lot. It just amazes me how much vile garbage spews out of everyone’s mouth and keyboard. I decided to write a little education material for those idiots out there to understand what they are talking about and why what they are saying is wrong. Well, I really decided to write this article because I got banned from Twitter for calling a trans traitor by his given name. So I have twelve hours to write this before I can actually post to Twitter again.
But this is really this is about a book I just read by Dinesh D’Souza called The Big Lie. It is about how the Left has twisted the meaning of being a Nazi and a fascist to be Right wing concepts. The book is great because it talks about the two concepts, compares them to what the Left did and proves his theory with historical facts that are very easy to look up and confirm. I would suggest reading this book. But that’s going to all for the review for now. I am actually going to listen to the audio book again because it is so thick with information.
Over the past week, with the illegal immigrant caravan and the sort, I have heard a lot of people throwing around words at people (well, Trump) because they do not like their policies. Not only do I think this is stupid but I think the people throwing around these terms are stupid. So I just typically reply with a “LOL” or turn the channel (I only average about seven minutes on CNN per day). So, let’s go through those terms.
Apparently, being a nationalist is a bad thing these days. One step from being a Nazi. Funny thing is, you never really hear of the opposite term, which is globalist. In themselves, neither term is bad but the media seems to think that being a nationalist is really bad. Nazis were nationalist (of course, people seem to forget the “Nationalist” is Nazi is only the “N” part of the name especially Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). A nationalist is just a person who puts his country’s well-being and citizens first. That person is proud of their country and does not care about what other countries think. There are lots of countries who are nationalist but claim they are not. One of whom is France. They are so nationalist, they will reject you if you simply speak another language (no driving tests in English over in France). This is not a bad thing. But globalists, those who do not believe in borders and believe in a single world economy, like to point out that the Nazis were nationalists. And they were. But being a nationalist doesn’t make one a racist, anti-Semitic bigot. It can also mean you think your country is number one and that’s it. I am a nationalist. Always have been and always will be.
Next, there seems to be some real confusion about what a Nazi is. For some reason, it has been associated with the alt-right which means most right wing conservatives are Nazis. The are anti-Semitic, racist, bigoted assholes. Here’s the problem: conservatives on the right are far from Nazis. And the “alt-right” that the left wing media keeps talking about are not conservative by any stretch and are just anti-Semitic, racist, bigoted assholes. The reality, Nazism is a Left wing model. It stands for Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party. That’s right, it is a socialist economy and government. Socialist just like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They just hated Jews too. The government controlled all the pillars of society (education, media, art, etc.) and took control of all business just like communism, Marxism and just like what neo-socialists in our own government. This is completely the opposite of what conservatives believe in. So, if you belong to the Left, be careful when throwing around the term to an educated conservative.
Fascism is the same thing with two slight differences. Fascism does not have a racial or bigoted attribute to it. Benito Mussolini, the dictator of Italy during World War II, did not have any feeling toward the Jews until he paired up with Germany. People who refer to racists as fascists don’t know what their talking about. Second, fascism was really an economic system. Socialism believed that there should be no private business, everything should be controlled by the government. Fascism, on the other hand, believed that private business should exist but be heavily influenced by government regulation. Because the economy of Italy seemed to be stronger than that of Germany, Hitler adopted the fascist economic philosophy. Hitler did not start as a fascist but as a socialist.
What do all of these systems have in common? Big government and, in the end, totalitarian. It’s not hard to see when looking back. The Soviet Union ended up communist (socialism is the economic system). Germany (socialist), Italy (fascist), Cuba (socialist), North Korea (socialist) and Venezuela (socialist) all ended up to be dictatorships. China is the most recent country to start as a socialist country that went on to be a communist country and finally, this year, is a dictatorship when the president, Xi Jinping, announced that he would be president for life.
Capitalism, our economic system, is very different. It is meant to be free of, at least very limited from, government regulation. Donald Trump, though quite liberal in his economic policies, is a capitalist and has cut a lot of government regulation. To keep referring to him as a fascist or Nazi just shows the limited intellect of the name caller.
I think Barrack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should probably read a book before they start throwing out names targeting Donald Trump.
