Left wing poticial views rooted in fascism.

The clue is in the name

 

'I am a Socialist,' Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930.
No one at the time would have regarded it as a controversial statement. The Nazis could hardly have been more open in their socialism.

Almost everyone in those days accepted that fascism had emerged from the revolutionary Left. Its militants marched on May Day under red flags. Its leaders stood for collectivism, state control of industry, high tariffs, workers' councils. Around Europe, fascists were convinced that, as Hitler told an enthusiastic Mussolini in 1934, 'capitalism has run its course'.

One of the most stunning achievements of the modern Left is to have created a cultural climate where simply to recite these facts is jarring. History is reinterpreted, and it is taken as axiomatic that fascism must have been Right-wing, the logic seemingly being that Left-wing means compassionate and Right-wing means nasty and fascists were nasty.

This tendentious thinking is popularised by media behemoths such as the BBC in the UK,
something you would not expect from 'educated'  mainstream media commentators.
Of course coincidence of policy fascist/liberal left does not establish consanguinity of doctrine.

However the left should accept the fascistic embryo from which it emerged, this fascistic parentage, this ideological link  of leftist thinking is pooh poohed by liberals who have been instrumental in the  historical revisionism of placing places fascism and its thinking firmly on the right.

　

And as Amis (2002) notes, even though the reality of the vast, destructive and brutal tyranny of the now collapsed Soviet regime is undeniable, Leftists to this day are almost universally unapologetic about their past support for it and may even still claim that Lenin was a great man.

As Daniel Hannan points out, so total is the Left' s cultural ascendancy that no one likes to
mention the socialist roots of fascism..
