Of course, I hate the right wing as much as any other Marxist, but perhaps it's going to be a bit shaky?

I was thinking: maybe we can add some mildly right-wing aspects to our Marxist-Leninist world (laws against murder, theft, harmful drugs, etc)> What's your take on this?

No. Marxism is pro-murder. It's because of dialectics.

2) There is nothing "right-wing" about laws against theft of personal property, though I would question whether they would be necessary.

3) Drug abusers need help, not punishment.

As a serious reply to a totally unenlightened original post:

Right-wing (conservative) and left-wing (progressive) are social constructions, and dependent on the time period and its values, as well as on different places. I wouldn't say that tougher penalties for crimes are either left-wing or right-wing, but rather more or less authoritarian. The authoritarian-libertarian axis could be said to represent another dimension of the system (though most western countries tend to see a correspondence between libertarian social values and left-wing politics).

Yes, they are, indeed, right-wing, since they limit freedom in exchange for security. Right vs left is security vs freedom.We like our freedom, and fascists like their safety. That's the bottom line.

I would say left vs. right is more about progress vs. reaction, and that one of the elements of progress is greater freedom. If it were the only element, though, the most left-wing people in the world would be nihilists or primitivists--both of which I contend are reactionary.

Ah, but what is progress?

Many would say that progress is technological or cultural advancement.

If this is true, then what we would consider to be "far-right" would be very left-wing, and vice versa.

All ideals of political ideology want progress, the only difference is the opinion on has to what progress is and how it should be obtained.

But that "future" they speak of is not a socialistic one; it is one in which the imagined glories of the past, of the idealized "nation", have been restored by purging said nation of unwanted, "foreign" elements.

This is all in theory, of course. In practice, governments led by fascists have simply been capitalist.

Not necessarily. Hitler, for example, was not capitalist. When he was 14, his mother died, and his father could no longer take care of him, so he had to work as a small-time painter in Vienna. He was actually quite socialistic.

Especially:



Who did Mussolini and Hitler support once they seized state power? In both countries a strikingly similar agenda was pursued. Labor unions and strikes were outlawed, union property and publications were confiscated, farm cooperatives were handed over to rich private owners, big agribusiness farming was heavily subsidized. In both Germany and Italy the already modest wages of the workers were cut drastically; in Germany, from 25-40%; in Italy, 50%. In both countries the minimum wage laws, overtime pay, and factory safety regulations were abolished or turned into dead letters. Taxes were increased for the general populace, but lowered or eliminated for the rich and big business. Inheritance taxes for the wealthy were greatly reduced or abolished. Both Mussolini and Hitler showed their gratitude to their business patrons by handing over to them publicly owned and perfectly solvent steel mills, power plants, banks, steamship companies ("privatization," it's called here). Both regimes dipped heavily into the public treasury to refloat or subsidize heavy industry (corporate welfarism). Both states guaranteed a return on the capital invested by giant corporations and assumed most of the risks and losses on investment. (Sounds like S&Ls, doesn't it?)

Actually, a petit-bourgeois is anyone who owns a sufficient portion of the means of production to be able to sustain himself/herself independent of a boss. S/he may or may not employ workers; however, s/he is distinguished from members of the bourgeoisie by his/her need to work the means of production s/he owns in order to survive. "Petit-bourgeois" does not necessarily mean "bad"; however, the interests of the petit-bourgeoisie are often at odds with those of the proletariat (though culturally they are often rather similar), and they can be quite reactionary at times.

"Petit-bourgeois" does not necessarily mean "bad"; however, the interests of the petit-bourgeoisie are often at odds with those of the proletariat (though culturally they are often rather similar), and they can be quite reactionary at times.



Starting from the mid-19th century, the term was used by Karl Marx and Marxist theorists to refer to a social class that included shop-keepers and professionals. Though distinct from the ordinary working class and the lumpenproletariat, who rely entirely on the sale of their labor-power for survival, the petty is different from the haute bourgeoisie, or capitalist class, who own the means of production and buy the labor-power of others to work it. Though the petite bourgeois may buy the labor power of others, in contrast to the haute bourgeoisie, they typically work alongside their own employees; and although they generally own their own businesses, they do not own a controlling share of the means of production. More important, the means of production in the hands of the petite bourgeoisie do not generate enough surplus to be reinvested in production; as such, they cannot be reproduced in an amplified scale, or accumulated, and do not constitute capital properly. In modern usage "petite bourgeoisie", a class that lies between the workingmen and the capitalists, is often used, usually derisively, to refer to the consumption habits and tastes of the middle class and the lower middle class in particular. However, Marxist terminology relates the petite bourgeoisie exclusively to its relationship to the means of production and work rather than to tastes, habits of consumption, or lifestyle.

Since you distrust Wikipedia, then you must assume that the opposite is true.

I was unaware of Marxists saying that Stalinists wanted to destroy the Aryan race...

And actually, Hitler had non-military SS in India, Nepal, and the Middle East to search for proof that the people indigenous to those lands are culturally linked to Germanic peoples.

And to hunt for the big bad jooz right?

It being an unreliable source is not the same as it being untrue. Of course this concept might be hard to comprehend for a Nazi.

You calling me a Nazi shows your lack of information. Why don't you bring up reliable sources toprove your point?

1. You think Holocaust deniers make a very good point.
2. You continuously defend Nazism and other Fascists.
3. You defend all the nice 'gains' of Nazi-Germany.

Thats enough for me, for all i care even if it's mere 'fascist sympathies' thats enough for me to dislike you.
And of course i have to prove my point once more, because now Wikipedia isn't reliable anymore to mr. Nazi (jay coherency, note that this same person 1 page ago quoted wikipedia). Because wikipedia worked in his disadvantage (even though he thought it did not; jay reading skills).
Just read Marx.

Watch the movie, "Judea Declares War on Germany.

2. You continuously defend Nazism and other Fascists.

I'm trying to clear up many of the misconceptions about Nazism and Fascism that are unfortubately prevalent here on RevLeft.

3. You defend all the nice 'gains' of Nazi-Germany.

That's because Fascism is a system that supports the working class.

Just accept the fact that I'm a Communist like yourself and most other RevLeft users. It's like how some people here like the USSR and some people hate it. People have to realize sooner or later that it doesn't make me a fash.

How the hell does fascism support the working class?

Last time I checked, under fascism working people are still working shit jobs and being exploited by the ruling class. Just because the ruling class may be replaced by a nationalist bureaucracy rather than the bourgeoisie doesn't make it any better.
