The concentration of such economic and political power in the hands of one person is a worrying development. Looks like billionaires don't need political frontmen any more.

He's going to set up a Russian money-laundering ring in the Czech parliament the same way Trump set one up at Trump Tower and at the White House? :?

$1:
Mr Sobotka was shocked, saying"How is it possible that in the Czech Republic, in a situation when the country is doing very well, when we are a stable, safe country, we have achieved many things in the social sphere in the past four years, people are increasingly in favour of extreme views?"


The shock of yet another lefty who doesn't have a clue what is going on. :lol:


Junker was shouting rather loud that he would push all EU countries
to join the Euro at all costs, because they need new victims to pay for the
next European economic miracle.

I guess the Czechs were listening.

Also, more blowback about the illegals being forcefully 'redistributed'.

It'll be funny if by the end of this decade that the leftist lot on CKA is bemoaning the European Union as a bulwark of 'right-wing extremism'.

What I am going to laugh at is the rise of a Canadian right-wing party. It's coming. [popcorn]

I'm not sure how that works since National Socialists are leftists and conservatives would be to their right.

No need. It's been done to death already. All one need do is quote.

For example, here's the British socialist rag, The Independent. Even they think the term "National Socialist" was more than just another twisted term.

$1:
It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic socialists, thought so too. The title of National Socialism was not hypocritical. The evidence before 1945 was more private than public, which is perhaps significant in itself. In public Hitler was always anti-Marxist, and in an age in which the Soviet Union was the only socialist state on earth, and with anti-Bolshevism a large part of his popular appeal, he may have been understandably reluctant to speak openly of his sources. His megalomania, in any case, would have prevented him from calling himself anyone's disciple. That led to an odd and paradoxical alliance between modern historians and the mind of a dead dictator. Many recent analysts have fastidiously refused to study the mind of Hitler; and they accept, as unquestioningly as many Nazis did in the 1930s, the slogan "Crusade against Marxism" as a summary of his views. An age in which fascism has become a term of abuse is unlikely to analyse it profoundly.

His private conversations, however, though they do not overturn his reputation as an anti-Communist, qualify it heavily. Hermann Rauschning, for example, a Danzig Nazi who knew Hitler before and after his accession to power in 1933, tells how in private Hitler acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition. "I have learned a great deal from Marxism" he once remarked, "as I do not hesitate to admit". He was proud of a knowledge of Marxist texts acquired in his student days before the First World War and later in a Bavarian prison, in 1924, after the failure of the Munich putsch. The trouble with Weimar Republic politicians, he told Otto Wagener at much the same time, was that "they had never even read Marx", implying that no one who had failed to read so important an author could even begin to understand the modern world; in consequence, he went on, they imagined that the October revolution in 1917 had been "a private Russian affair", whereas in fact it had changed the whole course of human history! His differences with the communists, he explained, were less ideological than tactical. German communists he had known before he took power, he told Rauschning, thought politics meant talking and writing. They were mere pamphleteers, whereas "I have put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun", adding revealingly that "the whole of National Socialism" was based on Marx.

Oh, all right, Wikipedia says the Independent is "centre-left". I still say "socialist rag" though. Image

Haven't finished. :) I like this one.

Because yes, Prog->Comms do like to twist terms and redefine things for convenience sake.

However, give the average guy the term "People's Democratic Republic" and he's going to spit back, "Commie".

You're welcome to give that same average guy the term, "National Socialist." I predict he'll say one of two things - 'Nazi' or 'some sort of socialist.'

So I guess if we lived in Walking Dead world when Rick says "we gotta work together and no single man has the right to take everything" means that you guys would have rushed out to join up with Negan because you're not gonna put up with that kind of communism, n'est pas? How did Bart survive all those years in the Marines anyway, with all that "one for all, all for one, leave no man behind" quasi-socialist thing the jarheads take so seriously? :?
