[QUOTE="PatMeebles:458252"]ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]PatMeebles said:[QUOTE]And, in your response, you've also proved my point. What are all these qualifiers that you're so certain have been agreed on as a step in either direction, left or right? What is the line that everyone agrees on shouldn't be crossed? Do people believe that spying on international calls of terrorists is a step in the direction towards facism? Do people think that a progressive tax system is a step towards totalitarian leftism?[/QUOTE] Well, as I said, I'm not sure I prescribe to this same dichotomy of extremes that you do, because there hasn't been a practical manifestation of totalitarian leftism, as I pointed out above -- only fascists who rose to power, some who began by pandering to the left, some by pandering to the right. They may have stuck to their language to keep their slogans, but they all oppressed their people with the iron hand of fascist authoritarianism. By the way, if you look above you'll see I never mentioned the words "right-wing" or "conservative" when the discussion about fascism in this thread began. It was not my goal to make this a right vs. left issue. [/QUOTE] ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]reactionary (far right)[/QUOTE] Care to take back that last comment? And, as stated above, yes there have been manifestations of totalitarian leftism, namely Leninist Soviet Union. The Vietnemese during the Vietnam war were also a good example. Also, you don't seem to know the term Communism if you believe that socialists only believe in faux-anarchism without centralized authority.[/QUOTE]
