I was listening to Glenn Beck (right now leftist heads are exploding at the mention of his name). He was talking about Alexander Dugan.
Dugan is Putin's right hand man. Some have called him "Putin's Brain". Dugan is calling himself a "conservative" but he means that in the classical Thomas Hobbes sense, not a modern American conservative. He is also crafting his language to try to sound like a modern conservative but he is not. He's nothing like a conservative. His idea is to destroy everything, bath the world in blood and go back to medieval ages.
Dugan is telling all Muslims to unite with the Iranian Shia Muslims, the twelvers who also want to bath the world in blood so that can cause the return of the 12th Imam.
Only the Iranian Shia want to cause global terror, the other Shia Muslims believe that the 12th Imam will return when the world is in chaos but that will just because of the wickedness of mankind, not because if anything they need to do. Similar to how Christians believe Jesus will return after the world turns extremely evil (sort of like right now).
What Dugan is trying to do is not just unite all Shia with that belief but get the Sunnis on board with the Shia.
He's got Putin on board with him. Their main target, as always, is the United States of America, then Israel.
What Dugan and all of the socialists just do not understand is that the Muslims will kill them all once they have completed the main objectives.
His party he created was called "Nationalist" but Hitler acted more like an Internationalist. He wanted global domination.
I personally think it would be impossible for someone to dominate the world by war. However, I have not doubt that it can be dominated by rot from within. That's what the socialists have been doing for over a century in America. It what the Islamists are in the process of doing in Europe and America.
It was the Progressives in America who did everything you mentioned. The Progressives used to praise Hitler. The Progressives were/are socialists. All Democrats and far too many Republicans are Progressives.
The left uses the word fascism to mean "I don't like you". It was Giovanni Gentile and Benedetto Croce who, as Gentile said, "improved" socialism and called it fascism. It is still collectivism. Fascii means a bundle of sticks. The symbol is the sticks tightly bound together with a war hammer in the bundle. Oddly enough that symbol is on the U.S. Supreme Court building that was built long before fascism (I think. I might have to look that up. Maybe it was built in the 1920's during the height of the Progressive era). I don't know what that symbol meant prior to Gentile and Croce.
Benito Mussolini heard of fascism from Gentile and Croce and liked it.
I read years ago that if you ask 100 different people to define fascism you'll get 100 different answers. I just stick with what Gentile and Croce created.
I'm opposed to any and all forms of socialism. It's all slavery. There is not "getting it right this time". The foundation is evil. You can't build something good on a foundation of evil.
Among our most precious God given and inalienable rights is the right to own property. That right includes your life that you own. In the 1st draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson originally wrote "life, liberty and property". He changed it because he did want slave owners point to the Declaration as justification for owning slaves. However, after the 13th amendment freed the slaves, the 14th amendment reiterated Jefferson's original idea that our most basic rights are life, liberty and property. Regardless, the pursuit of happiness was generally thought of as property ownership.
Because how could you be able to pursue happiness if you are subject to some other land owner and their rules. Property ownership meant freedom to do what you want on your land. And yes, that has changed a whole lot because you can no longer do whatever you want on your own land because of local ordinances and other laws. But that is NOT what this nation was founded on.
