They placed themselves on the right, mostly, allied with the right, mostly, and did fit within the spectrum of the German right, mostly. OTOH, they did consider themselves socialist, were in large degree socialist by any standard esp those of the times, and were by their lights aiming at revolution, to create a future utopian society based on a new and better people, at the expense of other people then existing and through the medium of a totalitarian party state and war. <br /><br />I'm willing to, correctly, see them as functionally on the right of their era and in general for most purposes, but it's impossible to call them particularly defining of the right, let alone conservative or even reactionary. Considering the actual future they spoke of, they only just barely qualified as German nationalists, and then only instrumentally. And for those of us looking at the spectrum in terms of ultimate objectives and concepts being used, there is that sense of ultimate upheaval of all that was past in the Nazis that qualifies their inclusion on the right with a big asterisk.<br /><br />And while I remember the Democrats used to have a conservative wing, with the term applying in variouis degrees and ways depending on the member, I can't see any validity in which the Dems were the "more conservative" party in the 30s. Using the definition of conservative of any era, then or since.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope these read clearly. This window is veeeery small for editing myself.<br />random observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348644823854777418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-21664079007284401212019-04-09T13:38:33.561-04:002019-04-09T13:38:33.561-04:00A little reluctant to reply as I don't think I...A little reluctant to reply as I don't think I've checked in here for something like a year, but...<br /><br />As a Canadian, I get it when many of my compatriots and some Americans have an idea of the political spectrum in which Obama is the centre, or maybe just centre left with Hillary at the centre, and among the GOP even Jeb Bush might be considered quite well to the right. I don't share that view, but I get it. It's easy to get much farther left even than Obama, by most lights, and still be within the mainstream of constitutional government in the West. <br /><br />OTOH, I get it up to a point when those on the American right do the opposite. In the context of American history to this point, taken in the round, the Democrats are quite a bit left of centre now. Obama's rhetoric of fundamental transformation speaks more of the progressive radical than the liberal democrat, and he did start out as the quintessential post-Marxist job description of community organizer from the outside. Traditional communities, even when they rallied around some outsider for leadership, didn't think or operate in those terms. The language you speak and the concepts you use are indicative of your worldview.<br /><br />On the whole, I try for a sense of the political spectrum that takes the whole of the West and the last 200 years in context. I'd put the Bushes as loosely centre right and Obama and Hill at variously centre left. <br /><br />For the historical stuff, there's more nuance than either side sees. Jonah Goldberg, once the Neocon bane of the left and now a more acceptable liberal, overdid it with his book Liberal Fascism, although the actual origins and reasons for his title were valid. <br /><br />The progressive vision of today is cloaked in fairly genuine belief in racial equality, for example, and looks to a multiracial and eventually uniracial future for America that is emphatically not white people. That's new compared to the old progs. In practice, it seems to assume that non-white Americans are eternal clients of the state and can do no better, so sometimes I wonder. It retains the idea of a technocratic state managed by an elite-educated class and professional managers, with limited scope for the action of politics or the degree of difference or conflict in that politics, which always was the core mission. Similarly, and again with less overt racial content, it seems to have policies on abortion and other social problems consistent with those of the past.<br /><br />Whether all this is conservative, liberal, progressive, right or left is not entirely a mug's game of analysis but it does pose problems. For my part, I notice the kind of technocratic agenda I suggest above, versus an emphasis on less restrained competitive politics whether electoral, partisan, congressional, federalism, or ideological, as well as an emphasis on utilitarian versus trad values, whatever their content, are important dividing lines.<br /><br />random observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348644823854777418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-15269758956854834052019-04-08T16:33:14.721-04:002019-04-08T16:33:14.721-04:00There must be something nice to day about Crazy Un...There must be something nice to day about Crazy Uncle Joe Biden.

Point is, if not for Joe Biden's Heavy Left Hand and Paul Ryan's Glass Jaw, Senor Mittens, might have charmed enough votes outta the fence sitters, as it happened tho, his Campaign continued to head south of the border...last seen with a Dog on his roof!

It's almost like One Brow is scoopi...whitewall,<br /><i>It's almost like One Brow is scooping up contrived content from this blog and depositing it somewhere else for his own benefit? Maybe from other blogs as well?</i><br /><br />Well, I did do that one time, when I thought the tangents from the comments had drifted so far from the main topic that it would be ruder to continue the conversation here. I'm pretty sure I linked to new blog post when I did that. It might happen again, but if/when it does, I will again be open about it. <br /><br />Outside of that, I'm here strictly for my own learning.One Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938816242512563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-13927932066317476592019-04-03T08:41:28.042-04:002019-04-03T08:41:28.042-04:00DiploMad,
One Brow, You continue to show that you ...DiploMad,<br /><i>One Brow, You continue to show that you either suffer from a serious inability to read English, or you are just a malicious troll trying desperately to get some attention--or both. </i><br /><br />Well, ya'll need need someone to hate around here. I'm happy to be of service. I mean, I don't see how your complaints about my literacy seem valid (at least, not at the times you bring them up), and I am earnest about what I say so I don't see it as trolling, but I am not opposed to conflict. You can't understand people if you don't listen to them and engage with them, even when you disagree.<br /><br /><i>Please revisit the paragraph you cite in the opening of your little post, and you will see that--surprise--you have left off both the beginning and the end of that paragraph which would dramatically change what you say I wrote.</i><br /><br />I understand that the post, and paragraph, was about Biden, and I don't disagree with much of it. I think you have nailed Biden pretty well, frankly. However, nothing in your paragraph acknowledged that Obama did not actually have many leftist views, no none of it mollified the part I did pull out.<br /><br /><i>Re the women issue. I guess you have reverted to the old Dem party when women were just believed and black men were hanged from trees or beaten to death by mobs. You are keeping that tradition alive. Such a traditionlist.</i><br /><br />Just after reader #1482 tries to associate Nazism with left, you pull out the racist canards. The change from the tradition you refer to is that black men were lynched based on the testimony of white women. Last I checked, Hill, Wright, and Jourdain were black (not sure about Hardnett). No one lynched black men over raping a black woman, much less harassing one.<br /><br />Still, it was sight. Thomas, who before and since has that racism was not a significant issue throughout his career, used this one moment to play the racism card, and all the white people who *hate* the racism card cheered him while he played it. Hypocrisy laid bare for all the world to see.One Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938816242512563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-86286192742990745162019-04-03T08:22:53.993-04:002019-04-03T08:22:53.993-04:00Obama's results speak for themselves.
No, he d...<i>Obama's results speak for themselves.<br />No, he didn't *sell* himself as a far lefty in the 2008 cycle, but he did his best to gut the medical sector... had a 'change of heart' on gay marriage... stood up for planned parenthood... toured the world kowtowing to any sovereign to would entertain his apologies for capitalism... extended dictatorial powers to both invade Libya and bypass the laws of this country to grant status to a large swathe of illegal aliens...</i><br /><br />Obama's ACA, relying on corporations to provide healthcare insurance, was about as Republican/corporatist a plan as you could get. Most Republicans have also had a change of heart on gay marriage, very few run against it anymore. Most people in the US support limited abortion rights. Obama acted like any other President has in visiting foreign countries or in invading foreign countries. You have a fair point regarding the DREAMers.<br /><br /><i>In my view, the ultimate result of leftism is naziism (as in, that's the 'final status' allowing for sequential transformations in time to result in a supposedly stable state), </i><br /><br />Yet, for over 80 years, American Nazis have recognized Nazism as a right-wing endeavor. I understand that right-wingers don't like to acknowledge this particular skeleton in their closet, but to pretend otherwise interferes with honest dialogue. Don't worry, you can still smear lefties with Communism.<br /><br /><i>and I'm certain we would have gotten there with a compliant congress. Stymying him and then getting rid of him has at least staved off that result for a bit.</i><br /><br />Trump has behaved much more autocratically than Obama ever dared to. <br /><br /><i>If 'the average of america' is to be considered 'the center', and *nobody* wanted Obama to further his agenda because it was out of step with that center, then he's probably pretty far-left.</i><br /><br />What's the part of the agenda so out-of-step that no one wants it? Not the ACA, trying to get rid of it is so toxic McConnell won't touch it. Not inclusion for DREAMers, that's relatively popular. Gay marriage has reached majority acceptance. Invading foreign countries, sure (but what will you be saying when we invade Venezuela?).One Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938816242512563561noreply@blogger.com
