There are some confused folks on this website.  One fellow thinks Mussolini started the Socialist Party -you know the Italian fellow that started the Fascist Party.

Mussolini was a Socialist in his youth, but radically changed his politics after WWI.

Fascists believe in stateism. Trump is a capitalist.  Fascists oppose free markets.

 

 

Monopoly capitalism is one of the aspects of Fascism, where the corporations control the state.

Correct. That's why I view him as a socialist. There's mild socialists and radical ones. AH was a radical one. AH hated the mild ones but he hated the Jews even more being capitalists.

 

 

Hitler hated leftists.

 

A radical Socialist would call for the government to own the means of production.

 

But Hitler was supportive of large corporations.

Sad reality is that you have no clue where I stand, all you have is personal assumptions, that’s it.

That is one of the key aspects of being in a cult, you don't know what you are going to believe next week. If your Leader tells you the Constitution is bad next week, that's what you will believe.

Surely there are videos of trump threatening to use the presidential office to take revenge? There is no need for opinion. What he says in public is evidence enough.

Nope that would be a successful Fascist,  There are   unsuccessful Fascists  -still Fascists.

That's the positive side of it. Trump is likely to be a failed fascist as he was a failed president and failed businessman.

The only thing he did not fail was at being a conman (well, he also got caught).

I made no mention of Trump. What is it with the Trump obsession many have? Some sort of pathological psychosis or something? It must have some level of social impediment one would assume.

You gotta be Joking! You do know who this thread is about? The upues are in the title and Article. 

 

This is the post you were responding to when you made the statement I responded to. 

"“All of these articles calling Trump a dictator are about one thing: legitimizing illegal and violent conduct as we get closer to the election,” "

and you said :

"…by the left.

Dictator by what definition? Just because a group states a descriptive doesn’t make it true. Though such descriptives are a reflection of those who hurled them."

to which I posted a link to an article where trump's defence is that he never took an oath to defend the constitution.  

So that should answer your question od "By what definition"  By the definition of a leader who claims that he does not have to act constitutionally,.

Hitler expressed opposition to capitalism, regarding it as having Jewish origins and accusing capitalism of holding nations to ransom.

Links, please.

Read all of that. Hitler was a socialist for 20 years before he became crazy. He hated capitalism. Said so in speeches.

You made that up.

 

Please provide a backing link.

Is it not embarrasing that only two old foggies are running to be the next USA president.

75 years old should be the oldest one can be to be President. IMO. Is there no on younger who could

become the nexst President, and not have Dementia?

Yet the left is still wanting to eradicate the Jews, just look at the way they support hamas...

A threat to out democracy is the latest clickbait from the democrats. The dems are aware of the dismal state of affairs in the US now with the border, inflation, crime. They suck at all of what is important to the American people. So, now it's time for the fear factor. Because the left has nothing else to offer except trying to instill fear.

Peace and Prosperity in the US. Crime in the Red States is a problem.

 

Border Patrol nabbing loads of illegals at the border.

 

The Dems in the Senate are proposing border security funding, but the Republicans say no. Because reasons.

I believe that disparaging a man based on skin colour is, umm what's that word that starts with R?

 

Silly me, that only applies selectively. 

I wasn't aware that orange is the color of any race, or do you mean fruitist. Trump is appropriating the colour of oranges? Or is than a manadrin?

You are conflating 2 different issues. Wanting a ceasefire is not the same as supporting Hamas. 

 

It seems you are a confused person.

Everybody knows that supporting a cease-fire is the most virulent form of antisemitism there is. Among other antisemitic acts are giving to charity and healing the ill.

Yeah a failed coup is clickbait.  The R's have done s##t about the border except whine but behind the scenes they are responsible encouraging illegal immigration to drive down wages and then blaming the Democrats.When Bernie Sanders said global warming was a great threat and it would cause great migrations of people it was met with laughter. Tell us what the R party has done for the American people  except the rich They suck at all of what is important to the American people. So, now it's time for the fear factor. Because the right has nothing else to offer except trying to instill fear.  They can't govern they can't even find a speaker that can get legislation passed  ,enemies of Democracy .Clickbait that.

Why would any one who supports and defends Trump, want to read past any headlines they like?

 

They do not want facts, truths or reality, as it will not meet their agenda.

Wow, I didn't know that Trump was born with orange skin and there's nothing he can do about it. I had assumed that he was applying some kind of bronzing lotion. Thanks for clearing that up.

Nothing a few snoots of strong bleach won't cure. Bathing in it would be even quicker as well as therapeutic.
