See, from my pov, I would say if you are going to present an argument...like OWS is a fascist movement, you have to do more than calling them fascists over and over again!
From MY POV, it always helps to address what the other person actually said, rather than what you wish they said.
I didn't say it was a "fascist movement." I said -- twice -- and you quoted me saying it -- twice -- that the rhetoric and general demeanor of OWS far more closely matches the fascist movements of the 20th century than the tea party groups do. And it does, with its populist, anti-capitalist, anti-bourgeois, revolutionary claptrap -- radical change, replacing the system with tighter controls, punishing profiteering criminals and government sellouts, what have you. Not to mention their rabble-rousing, intentionally-disruptive, and often
destructive behavior. You are obviously quite unfamiliar with the actual rise of fascism as it historically took root, and the rhetoric/demeanor thereof.
The same tactic was used ever since the McCarthy Era to label every critic of capitalism blah blah blah whiny blah blah blah
You can't even quote what I said properly; it's no wonder none of this histrionic bull**** applies to it.
And here you are declaring:"revolutionary groups...bring fascism," which is a logical absurdity!
No. You're demonstrating reading comprehension problems again, and quoting me dishonestly to boot.
I didn't say "revolutionary groups bring fascism," as in, that's what all revolutionary groups do.
I said fascism has always been brought by revolutionary groups, and it has, whether under Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, or whatever other tinpot happened to seize power.
You may want to brush up on "logic," if indeed you've ever been exposed to what it actually is.
Since the purpose of a fascist movement is to quickly seize control of the state and prevent any revolutionary groups from rising up in opposition.
Every revolutionary group does that, if it's successful. And that's not the specific "purpose" of a "fascist movement" -- it's merely a method of consolidating power.
Yeah, that really matches OWS!
Oh, dear; there you go addressing things I didn't say again.
I would say that, based on the way the tea party activists behaved during the Wall Street banking meltdown (shifting the blame for inflated mortgage markets from Wall Street firms who violated basic banking principles and onto homeowners and the FDIC), that was as clear an indication as needed that the tea party populism works in the service of large powerful interests, rather than average people.....and if this has any vague connection to the 'future Hitler' dilemma, it's that future Hitler is going to take great interest in cultivating tea party groups as his base of support. No fascist in his right mind, would try to develop an alliance with anti-capitalist radicals!
Weird; I can find no instances where the "tea party" did any such thing. And even they did, see above about your complete ignorance as to what fascist groups wanted and protested against.
But whatever the tea party groups blamed it on, OWS was
blaming Jewish bankers. Huh. Who
else did
that? And, not for nothing, between the tea party groups and OWS, which one did the
American Nazi Party throw in with? Hmmm.
