What color is the sky in your world where you believe that I haven't defended my position.
....the sky is blue in "my world" (i.e. the real world), so that's not the right question.
Your question should be directing inward. What color is the sky in the "world" of people like you who attempt to dispute (in direct conflict with all facts and history) that "Fascism" is in ANY WAY a leftist ideology.
You've tried this before, and in EVERY instance, you've been unable to do anything but duck and dodge when challenged to defend your perspective with FACTS (rather than your own personal opinion). Historians and sociologists (and educated people everywhere) all seem to understand what you cannot (or refuse to) acknowledge.
I've never had an issue with it, so I guess that just shows you vapid your position really is, when you're having fantastical conversations inside your imagination.
....at least you use "vapid" correctly.
But you and I both know you can't defend the argument that Fascism is a leftwing ideology (or, as "subset of socialism"). We've done this exercise before...and you lost. Badly.
Remember?
If not, let's go again, shall we?
Post whatever links or information you can muster to make the case that Fascism is a subset of socialism....and I'll take it from there (again).
Yes, that you aren't able to identify an obvious hyperbolic statement that highlights the sheer hypocrisy of anyone on the left complaining about it's overuse.
.....as I stated, your personal opinions and/or emotions are not worth debating when the topic of discussion is one of objective, provable FACTS. You're certainly entitled to feel and think whatever you wish. No one will (or should) denigrate you for what you think, as long as you don't delude yourself that your baseless feelings are "the facts".
I see that you do not know what socialism means.
.....PROJECTION Alert!
Anyone who doesn't understand that programs like SS, Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, etc. etc. etc.....are in FACT examples of pure Socialism.....is someone who is not prepared to defend himself in debate.
So instead I have two questions for you. Tell me, Fishking:
- -how to people like you actually define "Socialism"?
- -what are the differences (in your mind) between Socialism, Communism and Marxism?
Another ill-informed comment. Fascism isn't a catchall phrase that can be used as a stand in for anti-liberal or authoritarianism.
....either you are confused....or you are trying too hard.
Why would you lie about what I said in this way? There was nothing in my previous remarks that stated that Fascism is a "catchall phrase" for ANYTHING. Neither did I even use the term "anti-liberal". I used "anti-democratic", "illiberal", "authoritarianism" and "Fascism" individually. Did that confuse you in some way?
If not, why would you lie about my remarks as you just did?
It's clear (once again) that your goal here is to Deflect and Project because you can't actually back up ANYTHING you say substantively.
So again....I am challenging you to state your case in defense of the absurd argument that "Fascism is a subset of Socialism".
Put up...or hush up.
And if (i.e. when) you fail to do so, we'll BOTH know (as will everyone else) where we stand with respect to this topic, won't we?
It's as simple as that.
