This is a ridiculous attempts at cheaply revising history.
Hitler was attacking big business and high finance? What about all the
wealthy industrials who profited from Hitler's war-machine and from the
concentration camps industry?
Hitler was expanding access to
education? Or was it access to propaganda?
No wonder this Goldberg
was on Fox News. Such cheap arguments are juicy material for easy
explotation by Fox's neoliberal (neo liberal?) idiocratic agenda.
Let me set the
record straight.
This is revisionism of the cheapest sort.

Glen Beck is an idiot. A major reason why people followed Hitler
and the National Socialists was because of their fear of the Communists.
The Nazis wanted to return to a day when their nation was
pure, before the immigrants moved in, before homosexuals came out, to
stop the long haired swing kids, their era of hippie, to cut the
national debt, to have a strong military and to re-arm the Rhineland, to
cut down on crime done by immigrants, to end the power of the Jewish
bankers, to cut the liberal Jewish owned media.
Sounds a lot
like today's modern Tea Party.
The right-wing in the U.S. decries attempts to rewrite history
while rewriting history. Constantly. It's been a very effective strategy
for them. Seemingly.

The sad thing is that the Texas School boards buy so many school
textbooks that they can re-write history. Any wonder why some people
actually will believe Glenn Beck? blah-blah-blah
What the hell do these people think the "socialist" in National Socialist meant?
ReplyDeleteThat they liked to hold "socials"? Fry up some chicken and head to church, and don't forget the potato salad?
It's like listening to them talking about global warming, having watched the prize winning "An Inconvenient Truth." They don't even realize the errors when they come face to face with them. They aren't asked to question, they're asked to believe.
And bless their little hearts, they real good at it.

This is a major point of Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" (a most excellent must-read, IMHO). Basically, it's current usage is based on the Stalinist application: you know, Right-Wing is anything not sufficiently Left-Wing Stalinist, including Trotskyites and pussy-commies.
ReplyDeleteI read a long time ago that Stalin launched the "Nazism is right wing" meme after WW2, to help distance himself from his pre-war schmoozing with Hitler. He also kept secret from his peoples the fact that before the war, Germany and the USSR had a mutual non-aggression pact.
