Carville: Democrats have a wokeness problem

I'm sorry that you're kissing cousins with fascism, and you feel attacked. At least you haven't said that they're not socialist since they killed socialist. I'll ask the mensheviks how they felt about the bolsheviks.

The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

it's weird. you think you are making some big point, but you aren't. 

i don't think many on this board would disagree that nazi fascism and communist russia didn't have a lot in common. they were both authoritarian states that purged a significant number of their population in order to retain power. they didn't even dress that differently. at least mao put on a bit of a show, but even then, communist china was largely authoritarian. hell, a bunch of fucksticks stormed the capitol in dc in large part to install an authoritarian government leader in our democratic republic.

I actually didn't say "coastal elites" until you brought the phrase up. I said "coastal voters" and you translated that to "coastal elites" in order to create a confrontation. Either that or you actually read "coastal elites" because you're locked into some kind of eternal binary partisan struggle and will invent arguments if one doesn't have the decency to pre-exist.

I also included people who "control/create culture", another phrase you ignored in a desire to start a fight.

Academia and media personalities live and work in service of the 0.1%. From the Ivies to the media boardrooms.

On the first part, you are right.  I misread it and it does materially change what you were saying.  But I still think you are running with typical Republican talking points about the liberal wealthy controlling academia and culture.  Your basic premise allows one to easily jump to "scientists are fabricating climate change research because Soros" bullshit.  But, there isn't really any factual claims there, so it's pointless to debate.

If the tired USSR/Nazi Germany thing comes up I'll point out the obvious reality that the Nazis were far, far worse. But there doesn't live within me the desire to find any opportunity to "WELL, ACTUALLY!" on behalf of Joseph Stalin as exists in you regarding Herr Hitler.

Adolf Hitler vs Otto Strasser - a two-day debate about the future of the Nazi Party in 1930

Hitler:
- no reclaiming of private property
- outright rejection of international solidarity
- no intervention into big business
- the masses of workers are stupid and need to be ruled
- wealthy industrialists are at the top because of their natural superiority
- state intervention destroys economies
- opposition to worker and trade unions

"Socialism" in Hitler's conception was merely a concept about all tools of the society working for the good of the society. In his conception of that, the racially pure and the powerful/wealthy were the good of society.

Understanding this requires reading. So... too difficult for some.

If you work within a system or machine that serves a purpose, your work serves that machine's purpose. It doesn't matter what your intentions are or what your beliefs and values are. Identity politics gives those within that system a way to feel morally superior while still serving the needs of the 0.1% and maintaining their status and paychecks.

My most "the goddamned kids these days!" internal rant revolves around the fact that so many only learn from Youtube. There's a few good Youtube creators, but it's much more entertainment than education and it's not just a worse way to learn, it's a way less engaging way to actually learn, than just reading shit. Reading shit you're interested in is fun! More zoomers should try it!

Ashtray soda pop dingo?

It’s funny because everyone here agrees that the Nazis were fascists, even though fascism is diametrically opposed to socialism in every conceivable way. And yet we still agree on that point, despite the fact that “Nazi” is slang for “National Socialist.” We all agree that they were not socialists in the slightest, and we all agree that they were merely using that word to boost their credibility with the broad population (since back in those days, the concept of socialism had a very real moral appeal globally).

Why do we not afford the same cynical mentality to the Soviet Union? As hayden said a moment ago, “i don't think many on this board would disagree that nazi fascism and communist russia didn't have a lot in common. they were both authoritarian states that purged a significant number of their population in order to retain power. they didn't even dress that differently.”

And why is he correct? Because they were both whoring the terms socialist/communist to appeal to the populations of both societies. But both were fascistic. How do we know this? Easy: apply the actual definitions of each concept, juxtapose them to what actually took place in Germany/Russia and see what you get.

Please feel free to do your own research, but it’s been my observation since I began looking into this 14 years ago that what took place in those two countries had almost everything to do with fascism and hardly anything (if at all) to do with socialism.

Socialism is an anarchic movement that seeks to restore "workers control of the means of production," which is the core definition of the term. And it's very hard to imply either society was even remotely befitting to that concept when you consider the kind of union/council busting that went on (Russia was particularly awful and it was done almost immediately under Lenin, so Stalin can't even claim credit for that). Yeah, they flew the flag, but if all you do is fly a flag, you're not socialist, fascist, capitalist, etc. You're just a fan of a fucking team, and as a fan of that team, you will follow that team down every weird ass road...like when Republicans offer apologetics for covfefe. 

So why didn’t they simply call themselves the “Fascist Party?” Simply put, fascism had no broad appeal. It never has, does not, and likely never will. Yes, there are fringe elements of each society to support that crap, but it isn’t nearly enough to literally take over an entire country. If the Nazis were called the Nationalfaschistische Deutsche Partei, and if what became of the Bolsheviks were called the Fashistskaya partiya Sovetskogo Soyuza, my guess is hardly any of us would even know who Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin even were, much less would they’ve built the horrid legacies that they did.

tl;dr: I've never offered this before because I struggled to find an example that UT fans could clearly understand, but here it is:

Nazi Germany/USSR promoting themselves as "socialist countries"=30 year old Ron Weaver passing himself off as 23 year old Ron McKelvey

Yep. The Republican Party can call itself whatever it wants but it has now become a fascist party that worships at the alter of trump. Just like the German national socialist party worshipped at the alter of hitler.

Because they're wildly different historical stories.

Naziism is centrally identified with a single figure from its birth to its death. Naziism is exactly what it was designed to be and was shepherded along its path by its creator and died with that creator.

The rise of the USSR wasn't the brainchild of one charismatic master leader who then built it all through his unique power, ruled it entirely for himself, and then whose death spelled the natural end of the movement. It started before Stalin and survived him. Thrived after him, in fact.

The only reason one would want to just lump them in together and dismiss them both as equally vile is for political expedience; a conversational strategy to appease, create common ground and move forward to some other issue. Which is fine, but that doesn't mean it actually holds water and makes sense.

The USSR was absolutely not as bad as Nazi Germany. Not even close.

This is only controversial because so  many people have a very bizarre desire to rehabilitate the image of Adolf Hitler.

You are getting so close to understanding. They think the Soviet Union is a Communist State because they claimed that.  They also have no problem recognizing that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a dictatorship.  Nazi's are socialists not fascists.  They have ZERO problem with the inconsistency of their views.  You cannot change that.  You cannot educate the willfully ignorant.   You are just an elitist with your academic indoctrination if you point this out to them.

Different stories, yes, but not different in their motive to pass themselves off as something that they weren't. As to which was worse, I think that's fairly obvious. No point in cockfighting those two. They were both nightmares, but the whole Lenin/Trotsky/Stalin thing was a much preferred nightmare to Hitler, who took the word "nightmare" to a whole other level. 

But my point is that with one, we're supposed to take their self-promotion seriously where as we're supposed to call bullshit on the other. My only point is to call bullshit on both in as far as the S-word is concerned.

uh, stalin and mao were way worse than hitler. they were just able to keep their shit on lockdown and not exposed to the scrutiny of invading armies. this is not at all to rehab the image of hitler or nazism, but we put him on an evil pedestal higher than the ones upon which we set stalin, mao, the khymer rouge, and any other number of genocides perpetrated upon mankind. the reason communist russia and china continued longer than the lifetime of a singular leader was because they weren't crushed by outside forces like nazi germany was. if hitler won the war or reached a reasonable ceasefire, it's very possible that nazism would have lived longer than hitler.

explain yourself. i gave my reasoning in my post. hitler was conquered and stopped. of course had he not been, he would have gone on to do more terrible things. stalin and mao were not stopped and their atrocities not wholly uncovered. by itself, the cultural revolution is by itself probably on par or worse than the holocaust. and that was just the one thing. stalin's purges were equally horrific. but they were free to operate within their own borders and their atrocities were not given the sunlight that the nazi concentration camps received. 

people are horrible, especially when authoritarian governments are in charge. trump tried his damndest to operate as an authoritarian and the republican congress let him. hell, we had our own concentration camps where we separated children from parents, and we did fuckall about it.

That's the kind of cold, logical reasoning you can set your watch to.

Mao's Cultural Revolution - Let's say 2M dead in a population well over 650M
Stalin's Great Purge - Let's say 1M dead in a population around 170M
Hitler's Holocaust - Let's say 16M dead in a collection of nations with a collective population around 150M (not even counting the war he started)

And as you say, Hitler is the one who was actively stopped. Mao and Stalin each ruled for decades.

Obviously the three dictators had more atrocities than just those, but these are their historical party pieces.

[wildcat09 29,447]

Yeah, anyone who doesn't recognize that Hitler and naziism/fascism is absolutely worse than other historical monsters doesn't understand fascism nor whatever they think might be worse. They share a lot of characteristics, but there are some vital differences. The primary difference being that there is nothing else to fascism but murdering the other. To the extent fascism has an actual intellectual basis, that basis is the idea that the true ethnic nation is in a perpetual war against an "other" that threatens to exterminate the real volk if they're not exterminated first. That's it. It hardly even counts as an ethos.

For well beyond his margin of victory, votes for Biden were votes against Trump.  Replace Trump with a slightly less abhorrent character and the Democrats lose.

The republicans poured money into ads on Telemundo and Mexican speaking radio stations talking about Joe taking away oil and shale field jobs and other type of jobs that make them middle class living down there, like border patrol.
