Why not? I find the characterization of the right side if the horseshoe as being based on egoism odd. I think movement on the right side certainly have elements of altruism too.


It shouldn't be altruism on the left, but I get the sentiment, it's more like "forced" or "enforced" altruism.

It isn't altruism at all when you have no choice.

Thanks for the link to the Dinesh D'Souza video. Can you point me to Jonah Goldburg's book on liberal fascism too?

When you’re the one being oppressed, does the ideology really make any difference?

Well, some it is just weird. Environmental economic policies? The United States has environmental economic polices. I don't even know what you mean by it. Are they inherently bad?

Also, the Nazis didn't try to disband the family unit.

They absolutely did! Trust the state. Not your family! They did that repeatedly with the Jews and family members, friends and communities ratting them out to the STATE!

I guess we are rewriting the Holocaust now?

Maybe. Depends on the degree I guess. Regardless, I'm interested in discussing the ideological differences (and why so many seem to think that they were/are identical). It's OK if you aren't.

I’m not arguing good or bad. The NAZI party implemented economic environmental policies. Just like the socialists. That’s what we are contrasting here. Let’s not get off topic, you power hungry nerd.

No. You've stated that both communists and Nazis wanted to destroy the family unit. You lack any sort of factual basis to support this vis-a-vis Nazis.

You saying, “What’s so bad about environmental policies AND the NAZI’s didn’t want to get rid of the family unit” is NOT debunking anything.

Zero points for you.

As I pointed out, the United States has also implemented economic environmental policies [is that the same as environmental economic policies, which was your original point] . Therefore, we are exactly like communists and Nazis according to your logic I guess.

And it’s rooted in socialism and in German Naziism. Also, Hitler Youth would have been another element of eliminating the family unit.

We can keep going but you absolutely have an extra chromosome.
