Fascism and the British right.

Who do you consider the British right wing? How do you think they fit in with Dr. Lawrence Britt's article that you have cut and pasted?
 
I knew I should have ignored this deliberate and clumsy attempt at bashing anyone with views slightly to the right of Lenin.

The OP is so clearly blinded by his own ultra left wing views he fails to notice or acknowledge how those statements also clearly apply to the ultra left.

My conclusion on that peace of biased drivel is Joseph Stalin was a Fascist.

Fascism is a term that is too overused now and the word is mainly used to just silence and embarrass.

I am not sure that is true, I think fascism is used to describe groups like ISIS and regimes like North Korea or the extremes of the right in certain countries which is legitimate. Conversationally it may be used as an exaggerated way to win a debate but Britain has only ever had small fascist problems on the fringes of the disenfranchised high unemployment white areas and in the fringes of disenfranchised high unemployment Muslim areas in its jihadi disguise.

In both bass manipulative people have tapped into dissillusionment, fear and inadequacy to spread their hate

North Korea fascist?

Very blurred lines surely North Korea classes itself as Communist? all be it a Juche Communist state

Mind you very little difference between ultra left wing and ultra right wing when it boils down to it.
Ultimately why Communism doesn't and never will work you always end up with a dictator. Just amazed it has taken some left wing Zealots so long to work this out.
 
*Breaking News* lefty yogurt knitter in everyone's a fascist apart from me thread shocker...
 
It's an intriguing concept, but with exactly the same inevitable outcome as the far left, known as communism, (yes Rasc, I know 'proper' communism hasn't been implemented, baffling really, as it sounds great), however, I had a great discussion with an ex-major in the Scots Guards about Hitler's Germany, when on a walking tour of Berlin. This bloke was our guide and showed us Sachsenhausen, the first ever concentration camp in Germany, he was also in the British tanks that were involved in the face-off with the Ruskies at checkpoint Charlie.
He had met two of the guards at this camp in the mid '60's and asked them how they could do the terrible things they did, totally devoid of compassion or empathy.
One told him that until Hitler came to power, his father had been out of work, they were in dire poverty, food was scarce and rioting was rampant. After Hitler came in, the country, to him and his family, changed measurably for the better, his father found work in the Messerschmidt factory, he went to a superb school and was told he was of the chosen race, with a disdain for others imbued by fascist teachers. He went on great camping holidays, they ate well and Germany, in comparison to elsewhere in Europe was flourishing. In short, the ultimate 'I'm alright Jack' that was sold to the German people so successfully.
So, this kind of obscenity can re-appear whenever societies drop their guard, human nature and a desire for oneself over everything else can override human compassion.
 
Take out the bits about corporate power and religion, and it's amazing how accurate that list is at portraying most left-wing dictatorships too. Most of the list are features of dictatorships generally, not fascism in particular.
