I saw Diversity & Comic’s vid on this. Antos slandered him because she’s just that butthurt over some vids he made. It’s why I can’t buy Marvel comics anymore. They’ll infested with ideologues that’ll say the same.
 
It’s just disgusting and abhorrent behavior. With any luck DC will have balls and not fire him over the accusations. Although their latest “talent hunt” was nothing more then “You agree with me, so you’re hired” by the women that ruined Batgirl.

Yep. If you’re on the right side of the political spectrum in any amount you’re a Nazi. That’s how it is nowadays with the progressive (and regressive) left.

There is a problem with “lel Nazis were socialists” argument  
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that socialism is basically when the Government does anything, it’s not but devils advocate
 
Nazis privatized many industries and were supported by many wealthy industrialists(BTW Coca Cola in Germany used slave Labour to create Fanta)  
The people who support USSR style “socialism” with heavy nationalist leanings were the strasserites, who were purged in the night of the long knives
 
I’m bringing this up because Paul “imagine my shock” Joesph Watson is currently ranting on twitter in how the Nazis were socialists

Ever since I got into politics, I can never tell the difference between socialism, communism and that one other thing.
 
The line is blurry for those who aren’t well informed.

National Socialism was still inspired by the idea of a planned economy and Marxist writings. Hitler and the socialist dream
 
Yet privately, and perhaps even publicly, he conceded that National Socialism was based on Marx. On reflection, it makes consistent sense. The basis of a dogma is not the dogma, much as the foundation of a building is not the building, and in numerous ways National Socialism was based on Marxism. It was a theory of history and not, like liberalism or social democracy, a mere agenda of legislative proposals. And it was a theory of human, not just of German, history, a heady vision that claimed to understand the whole past and future of mankind. Hitler’s discovery was that socialism could be national as well as international. There could be a national socialism. That is how he reportedly talked to his fellow Nazi Otto Wagener in the early 1930s. The socialism of the future would lie in “the community of the volk”, not in internationalism, he claimed, and his task was to “convert the German volk to socialism without simply killing off the old individualists”, meaning the entrepreneurial and managerial classes left from the age of liberalism. They should be used, not destroyed. The state could control, after all, without owning, guided by a single party, the economy could be planned and directed without dispossessing the propertied classes.
Now that the age of individualism had ended, he told Wagener, the task was to “find and travel the road from individualism to socialism without revolution”. Marx and Lenin had seen the right goal, but chosen the wrong route - a long and needlessly painful route - and, in destroying the bourgeois and the kulak, Lenin had turned Russia into a grey mass of undifferentiated humanity, a vast anonymous horde of the dispossessed; they had “averaged downwards”; whereas the National Socialist state would raise living standards higher than capitalism had ever known. It is plain that Hitler and his associates meant their claim to socialism to be taken seriously; they took it seriously themselves.

Post a different source
Oh yeah the moment I see Ian Miles Cheong I can’t help but to think of how Chelsea Manning destroyed him on Twitter with two emojis
 
The messenger and the message are not the same thing. The source is entirely valid, given it largely consists of twitter rants about how the artist is a nazi.
 
If you can’t participate without rhetorical masturbation of this sort, then perhaps you shouldn’t.

I placed a poll on Gab about the Confederate statues and what to do with them, and the first response is to make more statues of a dead and pro-slave group.
 
The exact quote is;
 
Why not an option to build more monuments to the Confederacy’s ideals? The antebellum South’s Romanticism-influenced reaction against the egalitarian Enlightenment errors of the Founders foreshadowed the Alt-Right.
 
I feel like I want to slap someone up the head.

A Juggalo(don’t ask me why they are named that, Insane Clown Posse are well, fucking insane) march is coinciding with a Pro Trump March in DC I think  
And boy if you thought ANTIFA was violent, wait till you get a load of these guys  
They formed an entire subculture around one group, not a genre, a group

You base too much on Marx’s theories as the purest form of socialist thought. People don’t follow Marxian socialism as they do its derivative interpretations. The ideal is not the end result and many other avid readers of Marxist philosophy found it lacking in its specific, fine detailed application, hence the many schools that try to progress the philosophy in different directions.
 
Katheder socialism existed; it had the skeletal structures of socialist ideals with only its methods wholly opposite to the old vanguard, enough so that they were largely discredited as not truly socialist. All the same, they called themselves socialist and thought their methods would fulfill some of the basic tenets of redistribution of capital. To say Katheder socialism was influenced by Marx would still be more true than it would be an outright lie. When any interpretation puts emphasis on one aspect as the only true socialist ideal while discrediting any other interpretation that puts the emhasis into other, the end result is that the unifcation of different schools of socialist thought become impossible, but they also can not be wholly removed from their historical context nor ideological influence, either.
 
In Hitler’s case, the question is how much did he believe in the theory of worker ownership over the ideal of a controlled economy for the sake of the state and its people’s needs. To have a privatized industry, but to also have their production heavily controlled and its end production pre-planned, one can argue that this privatization for efficiency’s sake was the means to an end over the ideal of a worker owned industry. The most important agreement for socialists and national socialist was simply this – capitalism was to be controlled and its interests would be forced to serve the nation and its people over profit alone. The one thing that can be said about the biggest difference between Hitler and other socialists, is that he never wanted his version of socialism to transition into communism.

@Turkeynomster  
Should I let you in on a secret ?  
Socialism isn’t the redistribution of capital, it is a radical uprooting of current society to build a one based on the principles of worker ownership. Even Mutualists understand this  
Ketheder ““socialism”” is literally the Prussian state in 1870. Which was capitalist. It was just used by a bunch of jackoffs to justify the power of the Prussian state
 
>The most important agreement for socialists and national socialist was simply this — capitalism was to be controlled and its interests would be forced to serve the nation and its people over profit alone.  
full  
Except that isn’t true at all  
Anarchists hate the state and depending on the circumstance hate every form of it  
Marxians want to abolish capitalism outright and many Marxists reject reform  
Since when has Socialists ever wanted to simply use capitalism to fix capitalism what am I reading ?
 
And to bring up the case of the Strasserities again, they actually do advocate for a planned economy  
It isn’t a Socialist planned economy but it is a planned one. And guess what ? They were fucking purged. And they actually considered themselves socialist
 
Hitler called it the NSDAP because it appealed to the workers. That’s it, he even admitted it in Mein Kampf  
He admitted to coopting Socialist symbolism to irritate Leftists and appeal to the masses

@HJSDGCE  
I’ll have to agree with him, too.  
Go ahead and call a skinhead a “commie”. See how he’ll react.  
The problem with conflating National Socialism with Marxist Socialism is that Hitler did not advocate for a passage to communism (a state of “super-abundance”). He did not advocate for abolishing all private property altogether. There are no citations for such in Hitler’s speeches and texts.  
Plus, he didn’t claim to use state control to increase equality – rather, he used it to keep inequality afloat and legitimize it. The main social tenet of nazi-fascism is using the state to prevent violence between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.  
I hope this article makes it clear.
