What Modern Day Politician could you see saying this?

Question

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

Answer 1

hummmmm...sounds like Hilliary to me.

Here is another one she would say...
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a
civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets
will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"

-- Adolph Hitler, 1935

Answer 2

Heck, _I_ would say it! But no prominent American politician would.

The problem is, Hitler didn't mean it -- he was just pimping off the VERY high popularity of socialism among the German people.

When he was in power, he left big business in full ownership of its property, while using government production quotas to insure that the rich kept profiting. That's called "state capitalism," not socialism. German leftists and union activists were the first to go to the camps -- he couldn't allow them to fight for working people's rights against his big business sponsors, like Krupp and I.G. Farben.

And then he started in on the next bunch of scapegoats that he had prepared for in advance -- killing Jews, Roma and homosexuals.

Taking a political liar like Hitler's statements at face value, ESPECIALLY statements about himself, is foolish. Thank goodness that coward killed himself, wetting his pants as Soviet soldiers approached his hidey-hole.

Good discussions of fascism can be found in these books --

Answer 3

Hitler was a goon of the corporations. His party was heavily subsidized by American entrepreneurs like Prescott Bush, Henry Ford and Nelson Rockefeller along with corporations like IBM and Coca Cola.

He was instated into power after the ruling party gave its votes to the nazi party in order to keep the socialists out of power.

The only thing socialistic about the Nazi party was its name... by the way, nationalism is against the tenets of socialism. National SOcialism is a bit of an oxymoron.

Peace.

(i don't doubt Hitler said that... although it is a bit obscure since most of his rhetoric contradicts this particular passage... then again, how would you know? American propaganda is so effective)

Answer 4

Pelosi already did that. She quoted a Bible verse that doesn't exist everywhere contained in the Bible. And at the same time as she were given stuck, she did not care. She purely made it up out of skinny air. like it changed into not something.

Answer 5

Hitler loved to ban free thought, didn't allow criticism and said that people were either with the third reich or wer opposed to it and dealt with those oppsed to his narrow view of the world.

I'd say coupled with that it saound like Bush

Answer 6

Being as the majority of the republicans skipped debates for minorities-and Hitler tried to mke one "pure" race-I will go with GW Bush and his regime.

Answer 7

George W. Bush

Answer 8

None of the socialists running for president like Hillary, Obama or Edwards have the guts to come out and be honest about their agenda in such a way

Answer 9

you know what's funny... if not for losing his freaking mind and needlessly killing 10 million people... Hitler would have been considered one of the greatest leaders of all time... his economic policies turned Germany into a Super Power almost overnight.

Answer 10

Hillary, Nancy, Ted, John.......must I go on

Answer 11

Any Democrat
