Current Affairs The Far Right

[WycombeToffee]

Communism and the "far left" is the most disgusting ideology that has ever existed anywhere. I can't believe some are semi-defending it. It is pure evil IMO, on a more fundamental level than fascism. The complete removal of private property and individual liberties for everyone. Those dictators mentioned above are completely representative.

What we are witnessing atm in US particularly is actually a rise of leftist facism and domestic terrorismin backed by mainstream media.

Keep seeing comments like "the far left is just as bad as the far right".

People who, perhaps over zealously, want to see social and financial equality are just as bad as people who advocate the genocide of all non-white Christians?

Nope, that statement is a load of nonsense.

Here here.

Aah yes, the well known socialist Donald Trump has been elected to power.

Delusion.

I for one have had enough of them. They're not big nor clever. It's not 'alt-right', let's call it what it is - pure fascism.

All decent people must not stand for a potential rise of this. History will not look favourably upon the silent. Protest peacefully, and make your voice heard. The world ain't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel there is more good than bad and we cannot stand by and watch it burn.

If you've ever asked yourself what you'd have done as a citizen in mid-1930's Germany to stop Hitler, now would be a good time to find out.

It's a good question Groucho, what would you have done as a German citizen.......

Worse than Martinez's passing round at the back?

I've changed my mind. Martinez wins hands down.

It's pointless trying to defend either far left or far right, the clue is in the name. Which ever one gets in power tells everyone else what to do and has little regard for freedom or life.............

There's a huge difference.

just a shame the left chose red

Strange that the author/artist of that piece chose those colours, as they are the exact opposite of the colours of the parties.

Blue - Dems
Red - GOP

They were almost identical, I can see that. But my point is that Stalin was a facist lunatic who is not representative of the far-left.

Stalin was certainly a lunatic, but not sure he was a fascist.

It's an interesting one though, because this is where the labels of left and right (far left/far right, fascism/socialism, communism) have blurred lines.

Stalin was certainly a believer in totalitarianism and he was quite an extreme nationalist, so there are certainly parallels with the other European fascist regimes of the 1930s. However, his economic policy was founded on collectivisation and state control, whilst fascism is founded on corporatism, so Stalin is more communist in this sense.

Love the fact that some actually see what dangers extreme left brings/ and historically has brought. Todays western media only promotes one side. Do not submit under the lunatic liberal brainwash.

You have just boiled yourself down to the stereotypical GOP generic mouthpiece.

Maybe if you try to articulate your point rather than just resort to these mini-outbursts you might get a bit more respect in these threads.

Please explain.....

But as you know almost nothing of life and appear to have even less grasp of history I'll let this go......

Jesus, you really have no idea.
