Actually, Hitler got most of his revolutionary knowhow from Lenin, who did it first. Fascism and Communism are so alike under the skin it would be scary if you're scared of either. They were not antitheses, but competitors.
Ibbie, I see I simply cannot get you to see it correctly, and I've told you before: tw is not a communist because I dislike him and regard him as at best a crank; it is his crankishness, pettiness, and his communist beliefs that themselves cause me to dislike the man. Read tw: his belief system is all there for all to see, and he doesn't want democracy to win. He's been that way since Vietnam, and he continues so now. I don't lie to you, Ibbie. I don't lie to tw either, nor to anyone here -- that simply isn't me.
Tw is, however, in being wedded to collectivist totalitarianism and in assailing democracies as he continually does, a very evil little man. We should reject him. His enthusiasms, in all their antidemocracy villainy, are evident throughout his postings on American foreign policy and on Israel and the Middle East. The defense of my views on tw's moral position is to be found in tw's writings on here. The defense is, in fact, perfect.
Someone tried to tell me tw is in fact some kind of democracy supporter. I have no idea why that person would believe that, and am quite skeptical.
I don't "melt down," DanaC. I am, however, indignant. Tw is an enemy of democracy and therefore mankind's enemy also. Being of mankind myself, I say he should be destroyed unless he can be converted -- I'm happy either way. Any (constructive) questions?
