National Socialism : The Fascist Left

"I would go to conferences on Nazi medicine and find the scholars always talking about the Big Four -- sterilization, the Nuremberg laws, the euthanasia program and the Final Solution."
"But the irony is that in this murderous regime, you also find the world’s most progressive anti-cancer policy. This has been totally ignored."
Robert N. Proctor, Professor, History of Science, Stanford University

"[The violent, left-wing antiwar demonstration in the 1960s he witnessed reminded him] of the storm troopers that marched through my childhood."
"[Student protesters adopted from fascists] their anti-intellectualism, their anger, their street theatre, their glorification of  youth, or their mysticism."
"[There was as well their] mob psychology [and] the militant antireason impervious to argument."
Peter Berger, conservative sociologist, Austrian-born survivor of fascism 

"At the CPAC conference, there was a dust-up concerning certain persons claiming to be the 'alt-right'.  One of the organizers of the conference said the people claiming to be the alt-right were not conservatives, but were 'left-wing fascists'. He also said they had appropriated the term alt-right. The term 'alt-right' emerged to represent a form of journalism in some ways evocative of the late Hunter S. Thompson, with right-of-center views and relying on non-traditional platforms. But, the term has come to mean extreme right-wing. My focus is on the term 'left-wing fascism'."
"In real time, Benito Mussolini and his movement – fascism or national socialism – was of the left. Mussolini was a great admirer of Karl Marx and Marx’s principle of revolutionary socialism. By 'revolutionary socialism', I mean to distinguish Marxist socialism from the democratic socialists and labor unions that were emerging in Europe."
"Mussolini, like Marx and Lenin, saw the party as the vanguard of the working class, a force from without the system that would usher in change. Mussolini was in fact a member of the socialist party of Italy, although he broke with the party on the issue of neutrality during World War I. It was later that Mussolini thought to combine socialism with nationalism, and form a new party. He called the combination 'fascism'. A fasces is a bundle of rods, each individually weak while the bundle is strong. Mussolini’s counterpart in Germany called the combination 'national socialism'. In Germany, where they like long words, this became 'Nationalsozialistische'. In America, where we like short words, this became 'Nazi'."

"Ideologically, the distinction between the 'Sozis' [Socialists] and Commies on the one hand and Nazis on the other, was probably only the internationalism of the Marxists and the nationalism of the Nazis."
"In every other respect they agreed on the evils of capitalism. [The connecting of Jews with capitalism fuelled the anti-Semitism of the Nazis]."
H. Pierre Secher, biographer, Bruno Kreisky Austrian socialist

Leftist 'progressives' have a good deal in common with Adolf Hitler; for he too was interested in all manner of socially progressive issues from healthful eating, to avoidance of drugs and alcohol and tobacco. He wanted the perfect society where people would be responsible for themselves and to society, where people would be law-abiding, and where science would solve all of the world's ills. That he was also a raving psychopath and felt obligated to rid the world of the presence of imperfect physical and mental human specimens, gypsies, gays, critics and Jews was a more infamous facet.

Nazis, fascists worked hard at delegitimizing those whom they considered their enemies. And their enemies were any who failed to appreciate how vital it was to the future of the world to support their fascist agenda of extreme nationalism, of conquest, of transforming the world in their image. Any who disagreed with them would be victimized by a slickly organized slander machine which derided and accused, deprived them of dignity and rights, reducing them to vulnerable elements within the larger society which became complicit in isolating them socially, then destroying them physically.

This is a tactic used almost exclusively now by the 'progressive' left whose agenda is to selectively support and defend those whom they identify as victims, while they victimize themselves any who view their programs of sanctimonious righteousness as hypocrisy. The left has made a defensive religion of climate and environment, of haven seekers, of defense of Islamists as being misunderstood and any who view them with suspicion as "Islamophobes", labelling and censoring their critics. They share, in fact, some of the rationale involved in Communism.

Universities and trade unions are now suffused with a leadership that glorifies the radical left, allowing them to fracture social cohesion and interrupt the normal flow of conversation between people with differing opinions. It is what totalitarian governments do; the only agenda feasible is their own. The anti-fascist (Antifa) movement on university campuses represents extremism in lock-step with that of white supremacists, as they adopt the same confrontational, libelous and violent mechanisms for control of public opinion.



The Antifa movement whose name is derived from 'anti-fascist' doesn't hesitate to use the very same public disruption tactics as those they say they're struggling against. They are the 'hard left' expressing an ideology that claims to support populations that are oppressed and any population where the infamous one percent representing great wealth and opportunities leaving a huge gap between the wealthy and the poor is by their definition of capitalism, oppressed; the wealth of corporations and elites impoverishing ordinary working people.

According to Antifa activists they are motivated by peace and inclusivity; government and capitalism fail both. The U.S. government's tightening of immigration is viewed as racism and rejected by Antifa. This is basically a millennial movement, a movement embraced by those who live on the fringes of society, including undocumented immigrants, transgendered, low-wage workers and individualists, a movement that has huge appeal on university campuses. Antifa leaders waste no breath in denying their willingness to use violence in response to violence or racism; their goal is to eradicate hatred while practising it themselves.





Those who balk at accepting greater numbers of immigrants overwhelming society and culture, who refuse to continue to look the other way at the presence of millions of illegal migrants present in an underground economy, who decry the anti-fossil-fuel movement, manipulate situations by demonizing the nay-sayers; in the case of the environment, all those who fail to commit to eradicating carbon emissions, the very source of life itself, become 'climate change deniers', just as those criticizing Islamist jihadis become 'Islamophobes'.

 

Humanity's Death Toll

"Along the way, the Crusaders massacred. To take but one example, the Rhineland Massacres of 1096 are remembered to this day as some of the most horrific examples of anti-Semitic violence prior to the Holocaust. (Why go to the Holy Land to fight nonbelievers, many wondered, when they live right among us?) The Jewish communities of Cologne, Speyer, Worms, and Mainz were decimated. There were more than 5,000 victims."
"And that was only one example. Tens of thousands of people (both soldiers and civilians) were killed in the conquest of Jerusalem. The Crusaders themselves suffered; historians estimate that only one in 20 survived to even reach the Holy Land. It is estimated that 1.7 million people died in total."
Jay Michaelson, The Washington Post

"For centuries people were burned at the stake, stretched to death or otherwise tortured for failing to be Roman Catholic. But, if research released by the Vatican is right, the Inquisition was not as bad as one might think."
"According to the documents from Vatican archives relating to the trials of Jews, Muslims, Cathars, witches, scientists and other non-Catholics in Europe between the 13th and the 19th centuries, the number actually killed or tortured into confession during the Inquisition was far fewer than previously thought."
"Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. Some historians are convinced that millions died.
But according to Professor Agostino Borromeo, a historian of Catholicism at the Sapienza University in Rome and curator of the 783-page volume released yesterday, only 1% of the 125,000 people tried by church tribunals as suspected heretics in Spain were executed."
Sophie Arie, The Guardian 

"In August, 1947, when, after three hundred years in India, the British finally left, the subcontinent was partitioned into two independent nation states: Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. Immediately, there began one of the greatest migrations in human history, as millions of Muslims trekked to West and East Pakistan (the latter now known as Bangladesh) while millions of Hindus and Sikhs headed in the opposite direction. Many hundreds of thousands never made it.Across the Indian subcontinent, communities that had coexisted for almost a millennium attacked each other in a terrifying outbreak of sectarian violence, with Hindus and Sikhs on one side and Muslims on the other—a mutual genocide as unexpected as it was unprecedented. In Punjab and Bengal—provinces abutting India’s borders with West and East Pakistan, respectively—the carnage was especially intense, with massacres, arson, forced conversions, mass abductions, and savage sexual violence. Some seventy-five thousand women were raped, and many of them were then disfigured or dismembered."
William Dalrymple, The New Yorker

"What follow are the current best estimates of civilians and disarmed soldiers killed by the Nazi regime and its collaborators."
"These estimates are calculated from wartime reports generated by those who implemented Nazi population policy, and postwar demographic studies on population loss during World War II."
Jews: up to 6 million
Soviet civilians: around 7 million (including 1.3 Soviet Jewish civilians, who are included in the 6 million figure for Jews)
Soviet prisoners of war: around 3 million (including about 50,000 Jewish soldiers)
Non-Jewish Polish civilians: around 1.8 million (including between 50,000 and 100,000 members of the Polish elites)
Serb civilians (on the territory of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina): 312,000
People with disabilities living in institutions: up to 250,000
Roma (Gypsies): 196,000–220,000
Jehovah's Witnesses: around 1,900
Repeat criminal offenders and so-called asocials: at least 70,000
German political opponents and resistance activists in Axis-occupied territory: undetermined
Homosexuals: hundreds, possibly thousands (possibly also counted in part under the 70,000 repeat criminal offenders and so-called asocials noted above)

People of conscience and of good will as the saying has it, are always hopeful that a better way can be found in a social order, a political will, to bind diverse peoples together in one great heap of good-natured humanity, content to live together in peace and maintain friendly relations. At the same time the issue of parts of humanity living in dire poverty while others live in luxurious ease is another part of the parcel of inequity meant to be addressed by those who see themselves responding to a higher calling of rescuing humanity from itself.

There are so many ways in which humanity has veered into social, religious, political persecution bordering on lunacy, with countless victims to account for. Ideologies, secular and religious, have taken their toll down through the ages as one segment of the world preys on the other, determined that it is they who are privileged and have the status that allows them to command how they will, leaving the 'other' whatever remains. What could seem more promising to society than a way of life called socialism? Where goods are apportioned equally to all, irrespective of their attributes?

Of course, that this premise of equal rights in a socialist ideal deftly sidesteps what nature has wrought in devising the psyche and character of mankind is treated as irrelevant. In whose mind she invested various traits, the most compelling of which was the instinct of survival; not just a primal urge of supreme necessity for humankind, but of all that exists, but it is uniquely humankind that was gifted with the mental and physical dexterity to achieve that survival at all costs, beyond what any other creature or living thing could muster.

So how have we done? Well, basically, territorial imperative, tribal entitlements, religious conviction and other forms of formal, institutionalized interventions have caused more grievous harm than what nature herself could ever devise on her own initiative, though truth is, the blueprint for those living things in which she invested the instinct for survival was her initiative. In the West, we look back on the era of Communism and sneer at the pathetic failure it was as a mechanism to even the playing field for the common man.

And wonder how it was that the most creative, enterprising and intelligent minds of the West viewed the Russian experiment with favour, seeing much in Marxist theory that impressed and motivated them to support it though rarely to the extent that they were prepared to surrender their own liberal democratic, capitalistic lifestyles. And it's truly strange how people even now who should know better, excoriate the Soviets for the horrible toll their determined manipulation of humanity into subjugated vassals of 'equality' causing the deaths of millions in the process, forget how other ideologies had similar escapades to their credit.

"The Soviets had imperial ambitions. It began with the subjugated nations of the internal empire -- Ukraine, Georgia, the Baltic nations, the central Asian republics -- and expanded to the enslaved nations of Europe, imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain. Further afield, communists in Africa, Asia and Latin America had ready support from Moscow. Today, people will die in Venezuela because of what Lenin wrought."
"The death toll [of the Communist era under Stalin] was staggering, measured in the tens of millions, to which a vast catalogue of torture, imprisonment, displacement and exile must be added."
Father Raymond de Souza, National Post

Since then there has been Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia, the Sudanese government's victimization of Darfurians, the Rwandan genocide, and the Syrian Shiite cleansing of Syrian Sunnis, while before those were Ottoman Turkey's genocidal slaughter of the Armenians. We needn't even get into the viral ideology of racism, and the victimization of African Blacks by Arab slave traders as Black Africans were rounded up, shipped out of Africa and those that survived enslaved so that Europe and North America could commercially thrive on the backs of their labour.

Wars there have been aplenty in the history of humankind. Wars that took place in antiquity as one empire after another -- the Mongols, the Romans --  had their moment in time sweeping through the globe, along with two wars to end all wars, The First and the Second World Wars. When humankind went out of its way to prove that it was incapable of existing without conflict because of irritations national leaders wouldn't ignore and couldn't ignore when the compelling psychopathy of conquest overwhelmed some of them.

As a race, we think about what we've done. And in remembering we pause. To recall the events and those who were sacrificed to the all-too-human drive to secure for oneself advantages denied the other. Securing our honour by refusing to become a victim. And honouring those who were victims. We play solemn music, recite pledges, hear dignitaries gravely speak on our behalf in those chastening hours of remembrance. We lay wreaths, and remember those who died on distant battlefields.

Islam

Think and consider: the Koran has created a divine narrative for the faithful that it is their obligation to Islam to evangelize, to invite by whatever means are considered necessary, those not of the faith to enter it, submitting to the divine authority of Allah, while considering all those who might leave Islam for another faith, or simply for no belief in the divine whatever, to be heinous apostates whose choice of deserting the faith is deserving of death.

Islam has bred deadly jihadist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, dedicated to sustaining and spreading the original purpose of Islam; world domination, Salafist groups like those practising Wahaabist Islam, fundamentalists who see, as the Koran instructs them to, those nations not dedicated to Islam as 'Houses of War' reflecting insulting intransigence in refusing conversion to Islam, while awarding itself the title of the 'House of Peace' with a mission to transform the unenlightened who refuse to declare 'There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger' (the Shahada declaring submission to Islam) into 'Houses of Peace', at one within the bosom of Islam, making it permissible to indulge in mass murder as an instrument of jihad for the noble purpose of enlisting non-Muslims into the greater umma.

One of the invaluable tools in the arsenal of conquest-aspiring Islam is to traduce the reputations of Infidels, Christians and Jews, as mortal enemies of Islam who will go to any lengths to prevent Islam from reaching its goal of world domination, a conquest that will bring peace and harmony to the earthly sphere and those within in.

By casting the kuffars as responsible for violence, not the jihadist-aspiring-martyrs committing atrocities throughout the world, groups like Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iranian Ayatollahs and their Republican National Guard for Shiite domination, and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant championing Sunni domination, along with the myriad of other  terrorist groups portraying themselves as defenders of Islam, Muslims whom the West considers moderate, justify the methods of jihad. And since mosque sermons so commonly emphasize and repeatedly cite prayers that villainize non-Muslims, citing their opposition to, or disinterest in Islam as 'Islamophobic', Muslims choose to believe what their faith expounds, contrary to all rational debate labelled as corrupt sophistry, and the reality of Islamist-inspired barbarities.

European nations that have been overrun by the migrant and immigration and refugee presence of Muslims are discovering that their traditions, culture, value beliefs and laws are held in contempt by the relocated Muslims in their midst, continuing to pledge every facet of their lives to Islam. As their Muslim populations grow so too does the infiltrated presence of an alienated, hostile community living among them, out of which is bred those choosing to dedicate themselves to incrementally destroying the host country, to transform it into another Islamist territory, relentlessly and consciously aware that whatever violence fails to accomplish, their soaring birthrate and population density will eventually accomplish.

The dwindling numbers of faithful among religions other than Islamic will eventually be absorbed over time, transforming cultures and religious adherence owing to the tolerance and patient belief in equality typical of Western thought, solving all social issues of disequilibrium among people. The vast preponderance among non-Muslims professing a belief in the equality of all people live under a delusion of time and patience solving all human disputes, and in a twisted way their belief renders an emphatic impetus to Islam's march of conquest.
