    This should be the post of the year - the defining meme - for 2020.

    "Center left" doesn't really fit at all. The Nazis promoted central government "collectivist" programs to stimulate the economy and put people to work, but so did basically every other national government, including the USA, that didn't want to completely collapse and lose all legitimacy.

    The Nazis were far right in their cultural politics especially the whole racism and anti-semitism thing. They were also very reactionary in terms of gender, sexuality, and in policing public behavior. That is not "center left."

    You have to disentangle economic policies from other political factors. The distinctive features of Nazism was its intense right wing politics.

    How wrong you are. You are probably referring to the fact that southern whites were almost uniformly Democratic party voters back in the 19th and for much of the 20th century. But that was not a "left wing" party. The old Democrats valued local governance and feared the growth of the federal government and were generally opposed to public works projects, etc.. By contrast the Federalists, Whigs, and later the Republicans valued a stronger central government and generally held more enlightened attitudes toward the rights of human beings, aka stopping slavery.

    AKA using a strong federal government (btw, the US military is part of the federal government) to kick the ass of the South.

    As soon as LBJ (a Democrat) enforced school desegregation in the South and enforced the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, Southern whites began to switch to the Republican party which was much more conservative about racial issues.

    And here we are.

    Those were the super nazis. Adolf had to beat them before rising to power; a lot of people forget that.

    Pinochet is probably the world's only notable modern far right dictator. Maybe the Shah of Iran if you'd like to dig into it.

    You can argue that Italian Fascism was "center right" if you like. Nazi Fascism was center left especially as they were able to further "implement" it. Socialized "healthcare" anyone?

    You don't get to just hand wave and say, "just ignore all that economics stuff" and relabel people left vs. right while ignoring central ideology. Thatsnothowthisworks.gif

    Btw, this is an incredible bad read of history and the facts. Wallace, a Rat until his death, captured most of the Southern vote well after LBJ started enforcing the Civil Rights acts. The South started trending toward Republicans with Ike, but the Rats still had a strangle hold on the majority until 1972. Carter recaptured the the South in 1976 and Clinton in 1992 was able to win many Southern states.
    No, it's not. Pick up a book sometime. Wallace got a lot northern whites too, but the Republicans specifically developed something called a "Southern Strategy," look up the name Kevin Phillips.

    The enforcement of Brown v. Board, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts represented the largest incursion of federal authority over southern state and local governance since the Civil War and the Republican party was there to scoop up the disaffected whites. Not blaming them just stating facts.

    If racism and anti-Semitism is a "far right" thing how do you explain the fact that the only place you'll find overt and accepted anti-Semitism and racism today is all on the left? Al Sharpton, Omar, Farrahkan and the members of the CBC that support him aren't on the right, they are out and proud leftist. The left is the only group I know of today that wants to use the power of the government to reward and or punish people based solely on their skin color. How can that be when you claim racism is all on the the right?
    Many people on every side of every issue are racist and anti-semitic, no argument here. Very few, however, make it an official policy to actually carry out genocide, or to explicitly defend the enslavement of black people, for instance.

    I don't agree with most race-based policies I agree with color blind economic programs that put people to work and help them get higher wages.

    Farrahkan is a little bitch, who actually helped in the plot to kill Malcolm X, Omar is overrated, Sharpton is corny but has at least pulled away from the dipshit Tawana Brawley antics.

    Kunt logic, is there anything it can't do? I love when people respond with bullshit that does nothing to support their original statements.

    Dumbass here's what you said:

    As soon as LBJ (a Democrat) enforced school desegregation in the South and enforced the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, Southern whites began to switch to the Republican party

    Telling me that northern whites also supported Wallace does nothing to support your original claim and nothing to refute my claims. I'm well aware of the "Southern Strategy" but it still didn't allow Nixon to take the South in 1968 and in 1972 Nixon took every state in the Union but one. Are you claiming it was the "Southern Strategy" that allowed Nixon to take Minnesota?

    How was Carter able to win the South in 1976 if Republicans had scooped up all the disaffected whites?

    Again, lots of mouth nothing that supports your original claims and nothing that addresses anything I said.

    You claimed racism and anti-Semitism are "far right" things. And yet the most prominent place you'll find overt racism and anti-Semitism in America today is all on the left.

    In other words you have no response because your original point is indefensible. Economics is central to defining if something is Left or Right. HTH.

    If you read his responses to me and his "defense" of his own comments it's obvious the guy is a poorly informed lightweight. Every hear of the Southern Strategy!?! Idiot liberals always believe that to be some HUGE mic drop.
