Can't we just have a thread title change?

'Congratulations President Daddy' :cool:

I like it, that'll be the title of my autobiography.

Sessions is an asshat.

I see him more as doing coke just for the status.

Jello Biafra is now the least punk rock looking man on earth. He reminds me of my gay world history teacher from high school.

First off that album he made with The Melvins is an absolute unforgivable travesty. Second, even if you can kind of relate to what he's talking about he's such an egomaniac you would rather kick his teeth in than listen. Third, your history teacher probably was more genuinely punk.

I still like The Dead Kennedys though. I bought Frankenchrist when it came out and still have the Penis Landscape poster.

He reminds me of a couple of disheveled middle-aged male friends of mine with chronic verbal diarrhea that I've known since high school.

That was pretty good until the end when it got great.

I can't decide who is scarier. Darth Bannon for obvious reasons, creationist Spence who's going to want to shove Bibles down everyone's throat, Sessions turning the civil rights clock back 30 years, or Flynn, the hawkish hothead with questionable ties to Russia and Turkey:

Sessions will play the most significant role in our transformation to totalitarianism.

Y'all crazy as f*ck man.

You alt-right as f*ck Goofle.

We all have flaws.

I think being supported by Kanye is a bigger flaw than any of us ever bargained for.

lol Trump ain't left wing like them lot. He'd pick proper right wing fascists, if there are any.

The American Republican party!

Repeat after me: Totalitarianism

@ Lucem: Understand fascism plz

@ Chula: k

an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization?

Democrat... totalitarianism.... I fail to see any difference.

No, that's not fascism. It's bad though, even if it doesn't exactly represent the Republican Party.

Sounds a lot like American Republicans to me.

That is literally the dictionary definition of fascism, cut and pasted from an online dictionary.

That's the literal definition of fascism from google...

lol

I've heard this spiel before though. For some reason right wingers are obsessed with proving that liberals are within spitting distance of fascists and Nazis. A lot of Christians do the same thing with atheists. Liberalism might have some small similarities to fascism, but the right is most definitely the side with the Nazi-adjacent mindset, so please spare us your self-indulgent bull****.

Lean to etymology.

I think that goes both ways.

But a lot of that comes from the fact that Hitler was a socialist.

What's retarded about it is that they they say that they say the left will lead to totalitarianism because the believe in the socialist ideas that Hitler used to bring Germany out of poverty...

...as they celebrate the altruistic and nationalist ideas that Hitler used to create Nazis...

Learn to political science. Yes there is semi-public ownership of business, but that is motivated by nationalism since all businesses should serve the cause of the state, and not any kind of socialist fuzzy wuzzy ideology about workers' rights or giving them the means of production. Fascism could give a **** about workers' rights cause of its belief in social Darwinism, which the left most certainly does not (but the right does).

It's basically quasi-socialist policy dictated by far right wing ideology. And the generally incestuous history of high level corporate and political leaders in fascist societies is also not particularly left wing.

Yeah, Hitler was decidedly afraid of red.

I remember my History teacher in high school showed us something like this:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oAdFio7qrt...rcle_small.jpg

edit: though I wish the above had liberal and conservative instead of democrat and republican. As parties are not ideologies, but seek to represent (or at least pretend to represent) the ideologies.

A bastardized form of socialism entirely governed by the pragmatic concerns of a single leader. Hitler didn't even really stick to the fascist economic plan either, since businesses were meant to be overseen by government but still be technically autonomous. It just didn't work out that way.

Once that happened, it wasn't socialism anymore. It was totalitarianism. The point critics often make is that socialism can lead to totalitarianism because it's exploitable.

My issue is with the term "right-wing" being used within the definition, because we both know that fascism shouldn't solely be used specifically for one side or the other.

These are the best definitions I have come across: Fascism | Definition of Fascism by Merriam-Webster and http://www.dictionary.com/browse/fascism

Anything is exploitable. The silly thing is that Democrats, like Obama, bend over backwards for Republicans so they can properly represent all of America while Republicans don't give a **** and do what they want. Which is totalitarian in my opinion.

I agree. And Merriam-Webster is much more reliable and trustworthy than google.

But it doesn't negate my point that American Republicans are pretty fascist.
