Oh so wait this all revolves around him being a socialist at one time :lamoYes. Just yes. History is history and the facts are the facts. Obviously you don't know history. Don't understand these ideologies and are operating from a position of ignorance. Mussolini was a rabid left wing communist before he developed fascism. He felt there were flaws in Marx' theory that could be improved upon.
My mother was once a super republican but now she isnt.. So what?
Under fascist control Mussolini allied his policy with ruling Italian capitalists, he promoted the capitalist sector to service the state (corporatism), hell life insurance was even transferred to private insurance! Trade unions were dissolved, and made illegal. Fascism promoted the idea of private property and private profits. You trying to say that fascism is somehow socialism is completely ignorant. Its core tenant when it came to the economy was corporatism!
No. "Collectivism" isnt left or right it simply means people are interdependent on each other in society...You're making an emotional argument without any facts. Collectivism is Left Wing Ideology. Fascism is barely to the right of Communism on the ideological spectrum. Now you can stomp your feet, close your eyes and scream no all you want. Doesn't change history. Doesn't change the facts.
Someone missed the latest IRS hearings......More than 500 Conservative, Christian and Jewish Groups were targeted. Keywords used in the targeting was "Patriot", "Constitution" ect. I understand the biased sources you presented want these scandals to go away but they are not going to go away. There is no comparison in regards to what specific groups were targeted. Clearly there was ideological agenda to target and suppress political opposition to Obama before the 2012 election. The IRS was used as the tool. Fact of the matter is Progressive Groups were not targeted and the IRS even leaked information on these Tea Party and Religious groups to a far left political group illegally. If all these Progressive Groups were targeted then why didn't they present any of the leaders of these groups to testify to that fact recently when given the chance? Oh that's right, because there weren't any. Secondly, why should we accept what the IRS did, even if your laughably false narrative is true? So fascism is cool if everyone is targeted by it? Nice logic comrade.
:lamoYou're willing to accept any flimsy reasoning to try and sweep this under the rug because you've sold out. You're willing to accept your political opposition being targeted, harassed and intimidated because you're a morally bankrupt individual who puts his ideology above his country and Constitution.
:dohYou don't fundamentally understand these ideologies and are operating from a position of ignorance. That isn't my problem. That's your problem. Surveillance is merely a tool to monitor and control. What the IRS and the NSA are doing is no different than what the Checka (which later became the NKVD and finally the KGB) and the Gestapo did. That's what all of this is really about. Crushing any opposition to a one party state which is what fascist liberals are trying to create. You support that. I don't.
