@Sarven151@Vibetom@ShitpostRock we are not talking about liberal capitalists like the average canadian liberal voter, were are talking about "stalin did nothing wrong" socialists
@ShitpostRock Growing up 15 years ago+ among online socialists I found them insightful intellectuals who tended to be quite educated and analytical
Now the community is fully of idpol maniacs, schizos, tumblr freaks and total retards
@FlashPack99@danforhan@uspolitics1111 You can look up the "Kirchenkampf" to learn about the antagonism between Nazism and Christianity that got worse and worse, or the book "Hitler's Religion" by a historian to learn about the increasingly anti-Christian nature of Nazism
@FlashPack99@danforhan@uspolitics1111 Listen I'm an atheist and don't like CN
But CN is not Nazism. While the NSDAP did get elected on a pro-Christian platform, Nazism increasingly turned on Christianity and Hitler (likely) planned to replace it with a racialized new Germanic religion
@FlashPack99@danforhan@uspolitics1111 I see lots of Republicans (and sometimes Democrats) get called Nazi, just as Democrats are called "commie"
Nazism is actually the worst comparison to CN, as Hitler planned to(maybe) phase out Christianity.
Far-right dictatorships in Latin America are better examples to compare to
@danforhan@FlashPack99@uspolitics1111 Trump's children married Jewish spouses, which Nazis banned in 1935. Republicans have been polled to have higher support for Israel than Democrats.
The GOP and MAGA are overwhelmingly supportive of Jewish people. A few fringe WS/NN groups aren't the same as elected politicians
@FunPoliceCo@uspolitics1111 I voted for Kamala and don't belong to any political movement
Nazism caused death and destruction across Europe that killed millions. It's gross that people will call any random politician, dem or rep, they don't like a "Nazi" and appropriate Europe's trauma
@wastedsight@LeclercforPrez@uspolitics1111 Fascism and Nazism are not the same thing at all. Nazism was a sub-ideology of Fascism, yes, but they are not the same concept.
I specifically said Nazism. Using Fascism to describe Trump is fine. Fascism can exist in America a its universal to all religions, races, regions.
@danforhan@FlashPack99@uspolitics1111 Telling people to not misuse political terms should not make you mad. Also Nazism is European, not American history. It cant apply to the US
Likely you are confusing it with Authoritariansm, which is a broader term, and one that can apply to Americans. Trumpism is Authoritarian
@FunPoliceCo@uspolitics1111 Correcting historical innacuracies about the Roman empire doesn't make one a Roman, correcting innacuracies about nazism does not make one a "Nazi"
You don't know what the word means, if you did you'd never say something so anachronistic and silly.
@danforhan@FlashPack99@uspolitics1111 What's with the "dox urself" comments on twitter these days? Anyways you haven't proven "expertise" either.
Instead of getting mad at me just reflect on why people, especially in the US, misuse historical ideologies like Marxism or Nazism so much in labelling.
@wastedsight@LeclercforPrez@uspolitics1111 What "book"? In undergrad I studied Mussolini's reflections on Fascism as well as mein kampf for courses on political extremism.
@theta1540@uspolitics1111 It's not downplaying. Fascism is fine to use. Frankly the term "Techno-Feudalism" for the US's far-right economic turn under Trump is the best as it's designed to describe 2026 America.
If you want a dictator to compare Trump to, use Pinochet. Not Hitler, who is too different.
@danforhan@FlashPack99@uspolitics1111 No, I have a political science degree and studied extremism and ideology for years. I actually know what the ideologies of Stalinism, Maoism, Nazism and others are so I can call out wild ignorance.
Calling Republicans "Nazi" is equally ignorant as calling Democrats "Commie"
@PamphletsY@Lopern99 In case anyone is curious, this account is using a Communist propaganda technique called And You Are Lynching Negroes

I've never seen school/hospital(?) "shootings" used to try to cancel out fucking Mao though
@CZ2_Delta@uspolitics1111 Nazism is fundamentally impossible in the US, and not an ideology ordinary americans know about, one that requires extensive research to understand.
Talk about pinochet's Chile if you want, that's actually relevant and similar, and a dictator MAGA extremists like.
