re: This is probably a dumb question, but why is Neo-Nazism considered right wing?

quote:

false dichotomy. "Are you a fascist or a communist?"

Are you a Hatfield or a McCoy? Both were Hillbillies.

So basically being conservative has nothing to do with your political party? So why are all conservatives considered right wing racist now a days?

Exactly. And for the record, I'm both, actually.

So why is Neo Nazism grouped with conservatives?

If you own the mainstream channels of public information, you can define anything any way you want. There's a growing portion of our society who actually believe a male can give birth. Even though there is no factual truth to it and it's comically ludicrous, media, pop culture, internet sources of information and academia have tortured the definition of "gender" to the point where it will probably be a "fact" in a generation or two.

Nazis are collectivists, utopian and highly authoritarian. The definition of a "conservative" as we know it limits central power and champions individualism. The left needs fear and a lot has been invested in making Nazis the ultimate manifestation of evil in the history books, even though the commies have them beat easily by numbers. It's just an easy political attack aimed at those who don't want to think, they just want to react.

Didn’t we help defeat Hitler (nazi) under a conservative President?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt a conservative President?



I mean, the Germans didn't sign surrender documents until 27 days after his death, but Truman certainly wasn't a conservative either.

I apologize I was looking at the wrong President. My other question is still confusing to me though.

quote:

Hitler was a right wing radical.

Hitler was a socialist. Hitler was a people's champion. Hitler pushed all the same ideas Dems are pushing today. Are they right wing? No.
The only issue where Hitler was notably right wing was his position on race and that was not his defining characteristic. He was fighting communists so compared to them he was right wing.

Turning Hitler into a right wing boogeyman effectively cut off any discussion of individual liberties and led to 100 million dead due to communism in about 50 years. Weirdly nazis are bad and communists are still portrayed as the hope of the world.

You were thinking Teddy Roosevelt defeated the Nazis?



What a chucklehead.

I’m just trying to figure out how a political party that leans conservative (conservatism is derived from Christianity right?) has ended up with crazy neo nazi beliefs being stuck on it. Why can’t they be their own thing?

Politically, our country was became true fascist by pure definition (unity between corporate and government powers) during Johnson's administration.

quote:

Fascism (noun) a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

I dislike LBJ as much as the next guy, but fascist? Seriously?
