I've always been fascinated with the difference between Nazis (neo or otherwise) and communists. As a libertarian, they both seem like the same thing to me, because they both sit opposite to me as far as respect for capitalism. I figured it was probably similar to the difference between minarchists and ancaps. Basically the same shit, but the differences are super huge in their minds because they're really closed to all the little details.

So you disagree with liberal principles regarding social issues. Do you have a problem with homosexuality, etc?

2018-06-04 23:14:15 UTC  

no

2018-06-04 23:14:31 UTC  

A key pillar to communism is ending property, thats not a part of fascism at all

2018-06-04 23:14:36 UTC  

huge distinction

2018-06-04 23:14:56 UTC  

But a fascist state can take what it pleases when it pleases, right?

2018-06-04 23:15:04 UTC  

No

2018-06-04 23:15:09 UTC  

@Mercury Nazis were nationalists, while communists want to abolish the state.

2018-06-04 23:15:31 UTC  

No? So no nationalizing roads or banks or railroads or anything?

2018-06-04 23:15:47 UTC  

The nazis, for instance, had a great respect for property and private contracts, and encouraged entrepreneurs etc.

2018-06-04 23:16:02 UTC  

The big deal with Nazis is stopping the global movement of capital

2018-06-04 23:16:06 UTC  

@Deleted User Wow so it's even closer to the minarchist/ancap divide than I even realized.

2018-06-04 23:16:17 UTC  

it undermined the nation

2018-06-04 23:17:01 UTC  

In a sense its what Trump says in "America First" .....its the Nation First (economically), and in its laws, preserving the ethics and morals and traditions of the people

2018-06-04 23:17:09 UTC  

@Mercury you can read 'Those Damned Nazis' of Goebbels to get a better understanding, It is kind of a manifesto, it has not more than three pages.

2018-06-04 23:17:10 UTC  

Not allowing leftist progressivism

2018-06-04 23:17:12 UTC  

Capital can’t move outside the nation if you just conquer the world and removed the undesirables

It was a reaction to the same shit we see now with the Trannies teaching kindergarten

2018-06-04 23:17:35 UTC  

that kind of thing was happening in Germany

2018-06-04 23:17:41 UTC  

Wiemar republic

2018-06-04 23:17:47 UTC  

@Deleted User Ah! I see where the miscommunication is. To me 'capitalism' means the ability to freely trade and do business, keep your property, let the market decide, etc. To you it seems 'capitalism' means the financial industry.

2018-06-04 23:17:57 UTC  

you have to see that fascism was a reaction to modernity, not a reaction to oppressive monarchs

2018-06-04 23:18:02 UTC  

Berlin was progressive in the beginning of 20 century.

2018-06-04 23:18:05 UTC  

and to protect it from communism

2018-06-04 23:18:31 UTC  

Every ideology ever is a reaction to modernity.

2018-06-04 23:18:39 UTC  

Berlin had a popular radio station with an openly lesbian radio host.

2018-06-04 23:18:40 UTC  

Every single one.

2018-06-04 23:18:43 UTC  

Oh and now the other fuckboi is awake

2018-06-04 23:18:50 UTC  

well fuck

2018-06-04 23:18:52 UTC  

Ideologies weren't a thing prior to modernity.

2018-06-04 23:18:54 UTC  

No, capitalism puts capital first....GDP above all else

2018-06-04 23:19:05 UTC  

soon the conversation will be about the jews

2018-06-04 23:19:10 UTC  

Prior to the industrial revolution there were no ideologies.

2018-06-04 23:19:16 UTC  

and general will go to shit

2018-06-04 23:19:18 UTC  

Fascists say GDP is VERY IMPORTANT, but not as important as the Nation and People which have to be preserved

2018-06-04 23:19:22 UTC  

eg

2018-06-04 23:20:42 UTC  

thus thats why people say both Communist and Capitalist see the world as economic units (communists as economic classes, capitalists as economic units) -whereas Fascist see a nation and people as a sum of their traditions, heritage history etc

2018-06-04 23:20:49 UTC  

and economics comes second....

2018-06-04 23:20:50 UTC  

As a fan of economics, I've always hated when people fetishize GDP.

2018-06-04 23:21:25 UTC  

What if people don't want to be preserved?

2018-06-04 23:21:30 UTC  

It says nothing about the well being of citizens.
