https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

Nazism defies a simple left/right moniker.

besides which, apart from an academic exercise, the designation only matters so much as who is behaving in such a way today so as to head down that path. the comrades think the way trump and his supporters are acting today is akin to Nazism; its a joke.

in terms of violently abrogating peoples rights, again, my money's on the left. you comrades think you are immune from it just because you want to lay Nazism wholly at the right's feet?

Not going to argue with you that Nazism was not in many ways a complex ideology and that the left/right binary is not always the best discourse on this subject.

However Nazism is hardly the fault of the right, any more than Stalinism is the fault of the left, however you categorise each regime.

The most unhelpful thing about the whole alt left discourse is that it is used as a way of labelling and dismissing whole sections of the body politic as being extremists.

If we persist in creating left and right wing bogeymen (and women) and use them to resort to flinging labels as insults, we are simply avoiding detailed thoughtful political debate.

I think however when I look at what is posted, I can't help but feel that is exactly what some posters are trying to do.

The interesting thing is that you find me creating bogeymen when I treat left wingers the way they always treat anyone with who they disagree. I find you myopic.

... What I did claim was that with just a few minutes of open minded searching such information is available. In this case, I'm sorry I did not know this writer was a fraud when I selected him from several available sources. However, the ounces are there.

Well. In this case the "open minded searching" recovered readily available non-information uncritically spread further. I did not know that quack before too but did some 20 minutes of background check the author was either too lazy or too ignorant to do himself - and I 'd recommend you use your "open mind" to do just the same next time. No doubt there are "several" sources of that kind available - as RO shows again and again. The number alone is hardly an evidence of reliability. Availability and reliability are not the same.

And your comments here are really evidence of why history books shouldn't be written until at least 100 years or so after an event. It appears the left's powerful passion to rid themselves of any culpability slants their views. You are obviously of that mold.

You mean the writers of history books should wait until you have fancied up your nonsense and fairy tales.

Of course being bothered with evidence can be a nuisance, disturbing even, especially when it spoils your agenda.

Or reveals your ignorance for everyone to see.

Oh blondie, that is such an ignorant statement. That's, simply, all the response it's worth.
