On those axiomatic...Typically idiotic revisionism.<br /><br />On those axiomatic scales Nationalism is typically on the right and socialism is typically on the left.<br /><br />National Socialism is therefore neither left, nor right, but both left <i>and</i> right. In fact most political scientists agree that the Nazis were a particularly virulent form of syncretic ideology.<br /><br />Syncretic politics attempts to reconcile opposing trends, although it often struggles to maintain coherence.<br /><br />However there is a separate scale wherein the proposed policies range from the more moderate 'equidistant' centrism, to the most extreme form of solution developed by either side.<br /><br />As all sane people naturally oppose the extremism of Naziism it is a particular form of propagandising to make oppositional associations which exposes your own suggestibility and also your politicised influences.<br /><br />It is a real shame that so many people are happy to swallow whole the opinions of the current flavour of the month without any second thoughts. It is not the way to escape the political failures of the past - it is the way to repeat them.Oranjepanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150901449640162740noreply@blogger.com
