CFC Off Topic Turned Me Into a Fascist

[luiz]

...enter the ras local "big man" leaders like Farinacci and Balbo, who took advantage of popular fear of the proposed expanded Socialist platform and ongoing strikes to remake the movement in their own image,

On a funny personal note, I am rather closely related to Italo Balbo.

Obama isn't left-wing.

Perhaps, but at least in the US the pressure to bailout GM and Chrysler came from the left, not the right.

 

[Fugitive Sisyphus]

And George W. was not a real conservative.

 

[holy king]

i dont know about "conservative", but he definitely was right wing.

obama is center-right.

This is my absolute favorite new crackpot argument, as seen in books like Liberal Fascism... seriously I can't get enough of this one, by all means start a thread on it please

Which ideology promotes the ever-expanding power of the state? Which values collectivism more than individuality? Fascism is just leftism with an extra side of xenophobia; Hitler, Mussolini, Strasser... they all believed in concentrating economic and social control, it's just a cosmetic matter of what they actually do with it.

So where does that put Louis XIV, Otto von Bismarck, Phil II (of Macedon), and Pete the Great?

 

[beingofone]

I think I understand liberal philosophy. You experts tell me if I have it, ok?

Since I am a white male, I am responsible for all evil in the universe.


I got it right, didn't I?

Which ideology promotes the ever-expanding power of the state?

How does 'leftism' promote a one party state? What left wing ideology states that the democratic process of elections should be abolished?

Which values collectivism more than individuality?

I see, so working your hyperbole in the opposite direction it leads to reason that rightism promotes the murder of your opponents in the quest for scarce resources?

Jeebus Cripes on a pogo-stick. I dearly hope you are simply trolling.

You are confusing authoritarianism with left/right.

What are your politics Dachs? you are always quite coy about it...

Who needs elections when state has been abolished?
Anyway, anyone who is seriously trying to press world´s political ideologies onto one-dimensional axis is ********.
That is about as useful as classifying food only according to one criteria: whether it is fluid or solid.

That should be turned into an Onion cartoon. You know, a black-clad hag and a dirty long-haired hippie with the "no to the USA" t-shirt assaulting an innocent white male, stating "you're responsible for all evil in the universe!", while the white male can only muster "b-but!..." as a rebuttal. Meanwhile, the Statue of Liberty is crying in the background...

Leaders being elected is a totalitarian concept. The richest corporation owners should automatically occupy the governmental positions. The public can influence the goverment's policy by refusing to buy the products of the corporation of the government member they disagree with.

And I'm going to stay that way. :3

Well, Zardnaar, what can I say other than "congratulations".

Congratulations.

 

[Formaldehyde]

fascism is liberalism?

Ironically, it is to many ultraconservatives who are borderline fascists themselves.

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. Adolf Hitler

Discredited, crackpot and blatantly wrong theories about race prove nothing either - RRW

If anything this site is probably more left-wing than the general public. Obama is left-wing by US standards centrist by European standards mayber even right of centre.

If I read too much of this forum I feel the opposite.

When I came to cfcot such a long time ago, I had the idea that perhaps I would find some kind of overarching ideology that would be to my liking. But, many of the ideologies here are guilty by association; I don't want to be a fascist/communist/objectivist/conservative/libertarian if that puts me in league with the fascists/communists/objectivists/conservatives/libertarians here all of which are total idiots.

Accordingly I have adopted a personal policy of universal criticism, so instead of proposing my own dogmatic generalizations, I call them as I see them and question everyone's ****** arch-typical ideologies by mimicry, mockery, and derision. I think that makes me a troll; I don't know though; do they have a party?

That's what cfcot has made me... a total troll. There's no way I can even take any of the discussion here seriously anyway.
