Also the OP has repeatedly said that he himself is not left wing, that he was Republican and so on, but I have never seen him post anything remotely Republican. I have always seen him as left wing, though he claims not to be. Maybe therein lies the real conundrum why left wingers try to deny their left wingedness and say that conservatives are the real nazis.
YOU have always seen me as left-wing because you are so far to the right that Ronald Reagan would be called a lefty as well.
Luckily enough, many members have proven my OP to be correct. You cannot argue against the extreme right-wing with facts and logic that originate from outside of the echo chamber.
I really thank many of you for participating.

I think that myself and other members have been able to stand our ground and present a good case in this thread. Having admin or a mod come in to "set the record straight" would only cause grief for them, I'm sure.
And do you think that would change their mind?
no

In case you dind't notice your statement can be seen as sarcasm, as in you not believing it...
Anyway, you still haven't debunked anything...
As to your claims about the Republican party and about Democrats, you are PARTIALLY right about the first and wrong about the second, but of course you won't change your mind about it...

It is no use arguing with these two, they see Leftist agenda on cereal boxes. Paranoid delusion abounds in their posts and there is absolutely no reasoning or debating.

It matters not what Hitler/Mussolini called themselves... they used Socialist tools to lure in the masses and then turned on Unions, Communists etc... they turned on Socialism and ushered in Fascism, they both ruled as Fascists (ultra right wing) we know it, the world knows it.

The manifesto thus combined elements of contemporary democratic and progressive thought (franchise reform, labour reform, limited nationalisation, taxes on wealth and war profits) with corporatist emphasis on class collaboration (the idea of social classes existing side by side and collaborating for the sake of national interests; the opposite of the Marxist notion of class struggle).
...
The idea that Nazism was an extreme form of "capitalism" and Hitler primarily a tool serving the interests of "big business" is a longstanding myth that even now retains a measure of popularity in some quarters. This, despite the fact that the full name of the Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and that Nazi political strategy was explicitly based on combining the appeal of socialism with that of nationalism (thus the choice of name). Once in power, the Nazis even went so far as to institute a Four Year Plan for running the German economy, modeled in large part on the Soviet Union's Five Year Plans.
I. The Socialist Elements of Nazism.
Two recent books further explain the socialist elements of Nazi economic policy, and will hopefully put the final nails in the coffin of the myth that the Nazis were "capitalists" or free marketeers. In The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, historian Adam Tooze describes the statist nature of Nazi economic policy in great detail, and concludes that the Nazis imposed greater government control over the economy than any other noncommunist regime in modern history. (pp. 658-60). Tooze notes that, even before the outbreak of World War II, government military spending accounted for some 20% of the GDP, while much of the rest of the economy came under government control as a result of the Four Year Plan and other similar measures.

"Small government", or states rights as it should really be called, is a cultural manifestation of
America conservatism. This traditional view is not a constant throughout the world or even in

The state is a part of every government wether it be right or left.

Nope, you don't know jack about me and I really don't care either way, it is obvious that you ahve no idea on how to discuss a topic.
Not one of your statements disproves anything I said or the evidence I presented, but it is obvious that you are very delluded to think so.

Wrong, in fact there are many different forms of government out there than the two you posted, which goes to show how little you know about the world.

Wrong again, small government is more about giving more individual freedom to people than giving rights to the states...
Whether other people around the world want or not want more individual rights as originally stated in the U.S. Constitution does not matter... People in other countries can choose, and they themselves should choose what form of government they want.
As to your last statement...

I really have no idea what in the world you are trying to say. The above statement neither proves nor disproves anything I wrote, or any of the links and evidence I provided.

Sorry, but it looks like this is just a partisan hack job. If she had said that both the right and the left have supporters that fail to accept truth and refuse to be receptive to opposing opinions then her statement would have merit. As it is, it's just her being typical far left (like she usually is).

Conservative and Liberal are not forms of government, they are ideologies that inform
people and their decisions.

It is a fake one as well, because American conservatives, just like the Anti Federalists,
want power to be given back to the states.

Unfortunately the states used their power to institutionalized slavery, bigotry, sexism and racism.
