  1. I've thought about stuff like that too. I've wondered if some of these police shootings of innocent people is intentional to provoke outrage from the communities these people are from so the police will have an excuse to increase militarized presence in that area.

  2. By the late 20s/early 30s Hitler was openly admitting that Nazism was "the German Fascism" and cited Benito Mussolini as one of his ideological gurus. Mussolini was openly anti-socialist by that time. Hell, Fascism's hatred of socialism is right in its manifesto "The Doctrine of Fascism". Not to mention Nazis oppose almost everything socialists support. Nazis believe in Social Darwinism, nationalism, racism, corporatism, class collaboration, business nationalism, etc. Socialists hate all that.

  3. Correct. After the Nazis gained complete power they also banned all left-wing parties in Germany and absorbed most of the conservative parties. They made left-wing parties "enemies of the state" and had all members liquidated (hunted down and killed or beaten). Later they started throwing them in concentration camps along with ethnic minorities and people seen as a "burden" to society or "social deviants" (homosexuals and transgendered people).

  4. And North Korea's name is "The Democratic People's Republic of North Korea". I guess that means it must be a democratic republic of the people, right? It's in the name?! XD A quick read on the history of the NSDAP reveals why they had that name. They started out as a right-leaning socialist party that supported nationalism, nativism and ethnicism under their original leader Anton Drexler. When Hitler took over the party he changed the ideology to Fascism but kept the name for propaganda reasons

  5. No they didn't. By the 1930s the Nazis had revealed their true colors and sought to get rid of socialists, communists, anarchists, social democrats and liberals. They were the first enemies of the state before ethnic minorities. /watch?v=vpmjHihZJCs

  6. Correction: "The Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea".

  7. Exactly. If you target any group at disproportionately high rates of course you're going to find a disproportionately high number of offenders among them because any given offender in that group will be more likely to get caught. If 90% of the people they stopped and frisked were white then probably like 80-90% of the offenders they found would be white.

  8. "Socialism = Police state" Western European countries aren't a police state. The US is FAR more of a police state. Neither was Revolutionary Catalonia. "Libertarianism = Freedom and individual power" If you mean American right-wing "libertarianism" then you forget to add "for the rich" after "freedom and individual power". What America had in the 1800s was closer to "libertarianism". Yep, factory workers, company town workers and poor house residents had so much freedom and power. XD
