[quote=Andaras;512980]Name one fascist who nationalized anything?[quote]


Benito Mussolini, who nationalized Italian industry across the board...

Adolf Hitler, who nationalized every aspect of German industry...

I hope that helps...

[quote=Publius Infinitum;513034][quote=Andaras;512980]Name one fascist who nationalized anything?THEY NATIONALIZED NOTHING. If you think Hitler expropriated ANYTHING except the property of Jews then please PROVE IT.

<<<Personal Attack Removed>>>Nationalization is a specific economic action in which a means. mode or tools of production are brought into the ownership of those who work them - the people, rather than by parasitic capitalists.

Mussolini ADMITTED himself that he never nationalized anything, and a key part of the support for the Nazi Party and Hitler was big business.

I seriously cannot believe the ignorance and downright stupidity of people like you, please get some historical knowledge, hell even a wiki education would be an improvement for you at this stage.

So everyone agrees that fascism is lame, right?

Anybody disagree with that? Pubie, remember, you can only really speak for yourself.

Anyone?

Fascism is hard to say its a lack of social freedom but its usually combined with a lack of econimic freedom aswell..

Ah, the time honored game of politcs as a football match! "I call myself a (fill in the blank), and you call yourself a (fill in the blank) therefore I must attribute all evil to your label and all saintliness to mine!"

There is no shortage of totalitarian mindsets in this world. Perhaps people should worrry a little more about confronting them instead of haggling so much as to how to label them in such a way as to appear on the correct side.

ROFLMNAO... aren't the truly enlighten just adorable?

Hey sis, an you explain why you bear the audacity of hope and cast your vote for O'Hussein the agent of Change?

Of course, we should note that El Duci himself was a strong advocate of "The Third Way..."

ROFL... Leftists.

Fascism is lame? Now you'll be voting for O'Hussein: The Agent of Change, a fascist to his BONES... Yet you consider fascism lame... Can you square that up for me?

So many simple assumptions, so little analysis.

Those who are thoroughly doctrinaire in their approach too often assume everybody else is similarly simplistic and dogmatic, and so label anybody who does not toe their ideological party line as being of an opposite nature. Similarly minded doctrinaire leftists often like to call me a "neocon" or some such equally simplistic drivel.

I am sure this will go quite completely over your head, but in case anybody else is looking in I might give a little lesson as to the symbolism behind the Italian socialists choice of emblem. The etymology of the very term "fascism" lies in the reference to the implement called a fasces, which consists of a bundle of rods or sticks bound tightly together and from which protrudes a cutting blade. This symbolizes the inherent power weilded by people who are absolutely bound together by a rigid ideology and common purpose. It is the rigidity of ideology that denotes a fascist, and along with this rigidity comes the attitude that any opinion not completely in accordance with such is the representation of an opposing ideology, and so must be crushed.

In essense, fascism represents ultimate conformity. You are assailing me for not conforming, and making many stupid assumptions in the process. I would suggest you at least try to learn a little something of the world before making more.

Not the ones I've met. Most Capitalists I've met want to take over the world.
