The Washington Post, known for being one of the most left leaning newspapers in the country, prints an article by a leftist where he continues to try to distance his type of Socialism from Nazi Socialism.
It is true that the German Socialists and the Nazi's hated each other. Just like the Italian Socialists and Fascists hated each other. In fact it was the Italian Socialists who assassinated Mussolini. And both Nazism and Fascism slightly departed from hardcore Socialism.
But not like this guy says. Private ownership was abolished just like all Socialist regimes. In Italy and I think in Germany people could still own their property but their property and their lives were still controlled by the state. So technically speaking they didn't really own anything.
I wonder if that guy even read Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism". I have. It is overly footnoted because he knew that if you write a book like that the left would have a tantrum. You can clearly see where Goldberg gets his facts. He does what you ALWAYS have to do. Go to the original source material. Leftist "history" books quote other leftist "history" books and some don't have any footnotes or references at all.
I know what anarchy is. I am not promoting anarchy or even voluntaryism. I am a strict Constitutionalist. I believe that the founding fathers got it right but politicians, especially starting with the early 20th century, have totally screwed up what the founding fathers gave us.
I believe in maximum freedom for the individual and minimal power to the city, county, state and especially the federal government. And in case you are wondering... That is the antithesis of Nazism, Fascism, Communism, Socialism, Authoritarianism and the Democrat party. I left the Republican party almost 10 years ago because they are only about 5 years behind the Democrat party on their march towards authoritarianism. I joined the Constitution party.
