Yes, Socialism is a global ideology, I’ve made a huge point in my book about that (not in the free version, unfortunately). It’s right-whinge think tank nonsense to suggest National Socialism exists, a contradiction in terms. However right and left have nothing to do with capitalism. It’s about the ideology and the ideology of Socialism/Communism is most definitely left-wing. Capitalism is a right-wing ideology, Social Democracy/Democratic Socialism are attempts to limit the exploitation of the proletariat in a Capitalism environment. While Social Democracy only attempts to reduce exploitation under Capitalism, Democratic Socialism is intended to be used as a stepping stone to transform society from Capitalism to Socialism. And obviously, a resource-based economy does not require finance. The value of goods are based on sustainability, availability, labour intensity, mining/gathering, refining/processing. To achieve the consistent global values of a resource.
“The Nazi party were National Socialists?
National socialism is a contradiction in terms. Socialism is an all-inclusive global ideology spread to free the working class from the tyranny of Royalty and wealthy corporate elitists, by social ownership of the tools of production and resources. While Hitler’s nationism was an insular ideology built on prejudice.
This interview appeared in Liberty magazine on the 9th of July 1932:
“George Sylvester Viereck: I met Hitler not in his headquarters, the Brown House in Munich, but in a private home, the dwelling of a former admiral of the German Navy. We discussed the fate of Germany over the teacups.
‘Why’, I asked Hitler, ‘do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party program is the very anthesis of that commonly accredited to Socialism?’
‘Socialism’, he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, ‘is the science of dealing with the common weal (health or well-being). Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.”
So the father of Socialism as history tells us is Karl Marx, yet Hilter denies this and goes on to say that he wants to take socialism away from the socialists. He was just as bad as modern-day Fascists with the levels of internal conflict. So no, Hilter was not a socialist as we understand the term, he simply wanted to use the term to draw the German working class into his war machine. No doubt a ploy of Goebbels, the father of propaganda.
Not to mention that the first thing Hitler did was to draw private industry into the government which is one of the main tenets of Fascism. The merger of state and corporate power.”
Socialism is most definitely left-wing, if you have confused members who think otherwise that’s a different story. In a world where truth is optional and the Overton window has shifted far to the right – cognitive dissonance reigns supreme. Wasn’t aware it was a major factor on the left. But some examples would be nice, had a quick look, but 258 replies are a lot to scan.
Thank you and agreed. I hope you enjoy the site and please feel free to distribute copies of the free ebook if you like it. I’ve added them to a google drive linked on the site, in multiple formats Epub, Mobi, RTF, DocX and ODT.
After decades of being sealioned by the right, I found humour would allow me to get past their prejudice and through their preconceptions/barriers. I’ve even managed to convert a few. I think getting the message out using any tools available is important and could help create an ideological shift. Which we certainly need right now as the Overton window is still shifting further right.
Agreed, we don’t even have a main party that offers an alternative to neoliberalism these days. Just red or blue flavoured neoliberalism. Since Blair dropped clause 4 I left Labour and while I had hope during the Corbyn period the media soon put an end to that. Possibly in large part due to a little pledge in the 2019 manifesto regarding removing transparency on the crown dependencies and overseas territories. From my point of view Starmer is a second-rate Blair tribute act. Better than the alternative, but not much.
You got twelve years more experience in life than me then, I’ll be 51 next month, 18th. I’ll have a look in the Off-topic forum then, I love a bit of satire and humour. To be honest, due to poverty, illness and Tory governance over the past 12 years I’ve now developed late-stage terminal sarcasm. I tend to scream obscenities at the news regularly regarding Tory schemes and legislation, so it may be Toryettes syndrome.
I should hope so, no point in having an echo chamber. I dare say my outlook will be different to many here and at 50 I’m unlikely to change unless a good argument can prove the foundations of specific beliefs I hold to be erroneous.
