Why can't certain conservatives here decide whether liberals are Communists or fascists?

Question

Seriously! I have seen some conservatives here call liberals both fascists and Communists in one sentence! Apparently these folks don't know much about history, because if they did, they would know that the fascists were vehemently against the Communists and vice versa.

Answer 1

You answered the question. Some people simply don't know the definition of the two terms and, therefor, throw them around simply to sound intelligent.

Answer 2

most liberals are socialists in a marxist sense. Communism is actually an economic term, and many liberals also hold that view. Fascism is more of a political term that nowadays is simply used by any politico-economic group to demean another due to it's association with the Nazis, so theoretically someone could be both a fascist and a communist. historically the Nazi movement had much more in common with the Marxist-Labor movement than they let on. Government control of industry was certainly not something they frowned upon, and had they survied the war Nazi Germany today would probably be a heavily socialist state. They were the National Socialist party after all. Mainly they hate Bolshevieks or Stalinists, who they viewed as being a militant revolutionary tool of the lower classes (slavs, russians, gypsies, anyone not white). Most of the public propaganda used by Facists against communists was for two main reasons. 1. When there's any enemy of the public people don't always look to closely at what the government is doing. and 2. They needed strict control of wartime industries in gearing up for war, so any non-establishment group had to go.

Answer 3

McCain develop into in no way a fascist. he's honestly have been given particularly a average checklist interior the Senate - properly, for an elderly republican, this is a enormously average checklist. He has a protracted background of establishing bi-partisan compromises. In 2000, he lost the customary to Bush II for no longer be conservative /adequate/. And Obama is basically a backyard-style welfare-state socialist. actual communists do no longer run for election, the lead revolutions. however, whether you probably did have a call between a fascist and a communist, the fascist remains the extra suitable (quite much less undesirable) determination. the two decide to envision brutal oppressive states and could persecute chosen minorities and furnish priviliges to the cronies of a small inner circle. yet, a minimum of there's of venture of monetary boost below fascism, so issues ought to no longer be that undesirable for numerous the persons, for all time.

Answer 4

It may be true that the Nazi's fought the Communists but both groups believed in socialist ideals. Fascists and Communists are both socialist to an extent.

Answer 5

Because certain conservatives here do nothing but parrot their leaders talking points. They don't know the difference between fascist, communist, socialist or marxist but like to pretend they do. They just spew nonsense daily.

Answer 6

Because they don't know the difference and are just repeating the sound bites that they hear from the hate wing media.

Answer 7

It will depend on the talking points of their leaders.... just listen to what Rush, O'Lielly, or Savage have as their banner insult and they will be using it that day........
