Again, National socialists are socialists. they believe in a big central government to get done the things they want done, American Conservatives believe in individual liberty, a color blind society, the founding documents of the United States, including the belief in all men( and to be inclusive) women are created equal with certain inalienable rights to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. We believe the government should be small, and hemmed in by checks and balances to keep it from becoming too powerful. The nazis, and neo-nazis don't believe those things. Check my other posts, the Red in the Nazi flag is the socialist red. Hang on, I will cut and paste. Be back.
This is from another post, it is Andrew Klavan addressing what you are saying, but in a funny way:
From Chapter 4, Left Right Dichotomy, Thomas Sowell, in his book "Intellectuals and Society": "...there is remarkably little difference between Communists and Fascists, except for rhetoric, and there is far more in common between fascists and even the moderate left than between them and the traditional conservatives in the American sense."
From Chapter 4, Left and Right Dichotomy, in Thomas Sowell's book, "intellectuals and society":
"What distinguished Fascist movements in general from Communist movements was that the Communists were officially committed to governmental ownership of the means of production,while fascists permitted private ownership of the means of production, so long as government directed the private owner's decisions and limited what profit rates they could recieve. Both were totalitarian dictatorships but Communists were officially internationalist while Fascists were officially nationalist. However, Stalin's proclaimed policy of "Socialism in one country" was not very different from the Fascists' proclaimed policy of national socialism"
"WHEN IT CAME TO PRACTICE, THERE WAS EVEN LESS DIFFERENCE, SINCE THE COMMUNIST INTERNAITONAL SERVED THE NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE SOVIET UNION, DESPITE WHATEVER INTERNATIONALIST RHETORIC IT USED."
"Communism is socialism with an international focus and totalitarian methods. Benito Mussolini, the founder of Fascism, defined fascism as national socialism in a state that was totalitarian, a term that he also coined. The same idea was echoed in the name of the National Socialist German Worker's Party in Germany, Hitler's party, now almost always abbreviated as Nazis, thereby burying its socialist component. Viewed in retrospect, the most prominent feature of the Nazis-racism in general and anti-jewish racism in particular-was not inherent in the fascist vision, but was an obsession of Hitler's party, not shared by the fascist government of Mussolini in Italy or that of Franco in Spain."
From Chapter 4, Left and Right dichotomay, from Thomas Sowell's book, "intellectuals and Society":
"In short, the notion that Communists and Fascists were at polar opposite poles ideologically WAS NOT TRUE, even in theory, much less in practice. As for similarities and differences between these two totalitarian movements and liberalism on the one hand, or conservatism(American) on the other, there was far more similarity between these totalitarian's agendas and those ot the left than with the agendas of most conservatives. FOR EXAMPLE, AMONG THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDAS OF THE FASCISTS IN ITALY AND/OR THE NAZIS IN GERMANY WERE:
1-GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF WAGES AND HOURS OF WORK
2-HIGHER TAXES ON THE WEALTHY
3-GOVERNMENT-SET LIMITS ON PROFITS
4-GOVERNMENT CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
5-A DECREASED EMPHASIS ON THE ROLE OF RELIGION AND THE FAMILY IN PERSONAL OR SOCIAL DECISIONS
6GOVERNMENT TAKING ON THE ROLE OF CHANGING THE NATURE OF PEOPLE, USUALLY BEGINNING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD....
THESE ARE OF COURSE THINGS OPPOSED BY MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED "CONSERVATIVES" IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THEY ARE THINGS MUCH MORE CONGENIAL TO THE GENERAL APPROACH OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED "LIBERALS" IN THE AMERICAN POLITICAL CONTEXT.
