[DMB]
DMB is a left-winger who like other left-wingers (most political
scientists are left-wingers) want you to ignore the fact that
Hitler's party was the National Socialist German Worker's Party.
[Arlo]
"Nazism is often considered by scholars to be a form of fascism.
While it incorporated elements from both left and right-wing
politics, the Nazis formed most of their alliances on the right. The
Nazis were one of several historical groups that used the term
National Socialism to describe themselves, and in the 1920s they
became the largest such group. The Nazi Party presented its program
in the 25 point National Socialist Program in 1920. Among the key
elements of Nazism were anti-parliamentarism, Pan-Germanism, racism,
collectivism, eugenics, antisemitism, anti-communism, totalitarianism
and opposition to economic liberalism and political liberalism." (Wikipedia)
[Platt]
For a different and deeper view of what Nazism was about, refer to
the book "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg.
[Arlo]
Different? Definitely. Deeper? Hardly. This is one of those
aggonizingly sophormoric books whose only aim is to lump every
possible position OTHER than "conservativism" into one generic "enemy
label". This has been the language goal of the right-wing Orwellians
for the past few years, an attempt to normalize right-wing extremism
and portray as "radical" any and all opposition to conservative
dogma. One one hand you have the Glorious, Freedom-Lovin'
Conservatives, on the other the malicious horders of
socialist-fascist-commie academic anti-liberty criminals. Worse, it
seeks to obscure right-wing commonalities with fascist ideology by
presenting fascism as a wholly "leftist" ideology.
"Fascism comprises a radical and authoritarian nationalist political
ideology and a corporatist economic ideology. Fascists advocate the
creation of a single-party state. Fascists believe that nations
and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can
survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in
combat against the weak. Fascist governments forbid and suppress
criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.
Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalist liberal democracies
for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept." (Wikipedia)
[Platt]
Aslo DMB again omits a key point in the MOQ, in fact, probably the
most important point of all, namely that today's dominant
intellectual pattern based on a subject/object metaphysics has a
defect in it, namely, it has "no provision for morals."
[Arlo]
Yes, capitalism is today's dominant intellectual pattern, and it most
certainly is based on a defective S/O metaphysics.
[Platt]
DMB can continue down that immoral reactionary road of SOM if he
wants, but I prefer the freedom road of Dynamic Quality.

Is that why you support gay marriage?
