Ok, lets use an academic model that places words at opposite ends to artificially make it look like they are completely opposite when in reality they have their roots in the same ideals and are just branches of the same idea. Fascism and communism are both forms of socialism. They both want to destroy the free market system and create total power for one governement, one corporation. A monopolistic entity that tell the people what is better for them to do. I called you an idiot because you said Hitler was not socialist.

Also, if Germany was Socialist, why were they so intent on taking over Russia, a socialist state?

I could understand arguing Obama being socialist, but arguing against something that historically true? You're a moron.

Originally posted by h0lmes View PostHitler and fascism were absolutely not socialism. First of all, socialism promotes everybody as economically and socially equal. What would Hitler think of Jews and homosexuals being his equal? Second, fascist states have corporate governments in which capital still exists. This is in direct contradiction to socialism where corporations and capital do not exist in any way shape or form.
Also, if Germany was Socialist, why were they so intent on taking over Russia, a socialist state?
I don't understand why everyone wants to be the same as everyone else. We all drive the same cars, go to jobs that we are told we have to perform, get paid the same regardless of skill or ability, take the same meds, live in the same homes, watch the same tv programs, etc. maybe you're not advocating a socialist society... but that's how I took it.
Also, you do understand that socialism failed because of globalization, right?PNW Crew

Also, socialism died because capitalism had plenty of room to grow and still does. Marx argued, as did I in the other thread that you are likely referring to, that there are contradictions within capitalism which will eventually lead to it destroying itself. Think of it this way. Capitalism needs to grow to survive. There is a point however, where it can't grow anymore. This is when labor, resources, etc. cost the same across the globe (aka globalization). We aren't there yet. When this happens, capitalism will die and socialism will take over.Last edited by Guest; 11-02-2008, 07:22 PM.
