What about Spain and Chile? Right wing governments took control there after a period of conflict. Also didn't Italy experience a sort of Fascist revival after WW2 when groups with Fascist ties were supported by the U.S. government to deal with commies there.

Julian Morgan
Rhodesia did turn into shit once it became Zimbabwe.
Caleb Anderson
The problem is that the right-wing fail, but when the left wins, they still hold some power and prevent the left from enacting all their plans. That happened in the South where the Ku Klux Klan ended the Reconstruction, it happened in Germany and Italy where the old conservative establishment was allowed to return to the government under the Allied occupied authorities as a way to counter Soviet influence, etc
That's bad because major fuckups like Zimbabwe and Venezuela, where the left are allowed to do everything they want and fuck up big time is the best way to discredit the left and achieve victory.
That's why as an anti-communist I will vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Jaxson Cruz
So you essentially want everything to remain in a perpetual standoff between the left and the right with the left having the edge but not total control because then it fucks up and becomes to powerful for its own good.

You're right they're not, the Nazis were never as bad as the US. Despite all the racism in their political ideology they were relatively tame compared to the Americans, as the latter the racism occurred on a social level.

I'm very particularly concerned with the American-Korean-Japanese alliance (because I'm moving to Korea soon) and despite the fact I'm generally conservative and extremely anti-communist (born in Venezuela, came over when I was 6 so I despise what they've done with the place) I'm also voting for Hillary because I want a warmonger who will actually oppose China and North Korea and keep our bases in the region, while Trump has been literally endorsed by north Korea.

WWII would have happened one way or another, it was inevitable and all the political minds of the era knew this.
As for the holocaust, virtually every country had their pogroms and genocides but the Nazis are particularly vilified because they targeted the ones who ran the media in the West, the Jews.
Despite this they were very progressive socially due to the influence of fascist ideology which relaxed Nazi views on racial superiority and enforcement of traditional gender roles.

Gabriel Davis
Karl Marx himself said that before the communist revolution, there should be the most possible advancement of capitalist relations. That's the purpose of laissez-faire economic policies, to increase inequality so that poor people will support communism again.
Milton Friedman was the most influential communist activist of the 20th century because he understood this.

Asher Powell
Spain is the 5th european economy, and its one of the most influential ones. What is more, Spain is in a economic crisis, and even with that, is one of the countries with more % of economic growing in Europe, having a 20% of unemployed.
And they were practically isolated until 1975.
Chile is the best southamerican country to live, and if I remember well, the only considered developed by international standards
Alexander Roberts
At least I recognise that Franco was a retard and the II Republic should have won the war.
Dominic Allen
Spain's far from poor. But relative to the rest of the countries in the region (bar Portugal) it's doing pretty shit.
Not to mention the fact it was isolated is literally all Franco's fault.
>Chile is the best southamerican country to live, and if I remember well, the only considered developed by international standards Both Chile and Argentina rank highly in terms of HDI. And in terms of quality of life it is outranked by both Argentina and Uruguay. Uruguay also has much lower poverty than Chile.
In terms of being a nice place to live Chile is sub-par compared to the rest of the region.

/leftypol/ is basically just migrating to Veeky Forums since it's somewhat related to politics and the mods tend to ban threads that are too politically incorrect. That's why whenever there's a three about Fascism it's garuntee dot get over a 100 posts.

Adam Adams
Fascism is the belief that the highest form of politics is the state and that everything must be subordinated to the state and nation, which is described as being "organic" in nature. It demands that individuals must do whatever it takes to ensure that the state lives on and thrives, up to and including the loss of their own individual identities. The only room for the individual in the fascist state is for the leader, who is supposed to be like a platonic "philosopher king," with absolute power. It is, in short, a very nationalistic and collectivistic ideology.
So, lets review your premises with that in mind. >Intimate relationship between corporations and the government Close, but not quite. You are confusing a mixed economy with the very intense state capitalism embraced by fascism. While the state in fascism is absolute with little room for individual freedom and actions, individual profit is tolerated if it is done to the benefit of the state and will be cracked down on if any corporate entity gains enough power to challenge it; it is an unequal relationship with which the private interests go along with out of self preservation. In the United States, with a mixed economy, you may find similar elements with state capitalism, that is the state directing and working with private interest for the "common good," but the whole "rule of law" concept you may have heard about places limits on it, and while some may want, and are working towards, closer actions and entanglement between the public and private fields of industry, there are others that are working against them due to having an open society, something that fascism, by design, lacks. cont.

Jack Ramirez
Part Two >Rampant racism in the political system Normally I would dismiss this as a tumblr level hysteria but I will address it. Broadly speaking there are two types of fascism, which I will refer to as Germanic Fascism (NAZI party, Hungary) and Mediterranean Fascism (Italy, Spain, United Kingdom). Were there to be a political left-right spectrum with nothing but brands of fascism on it, Mediterranean Fascism will be towards the left and Germanic towards the right. One of the key differences is the attitude towards race. Mussolini, while later adopting the Germanic stance to placate Hitler, saw the Germanic view that race is a concrete thing that is to be preserved as something very ridiculous and stupid. He saw race as something more of a feeling that one has and identify with as opposed to it "being in the blood." Indeed, there were Jews, for example, in key posts in the Italian Fascist Government. So, even if we accept the belief that you set forth that the United States government is racist, we cannot accept the conclusion that results in fascism due to the Mediterranean-Germanic split within the ideology. >Usa and nazis etc are not on the same level Your assertion is so ridiculous it is beneath my contempt.
Dominic Martin
Thanks user, this has great potential as copypasta
Lincoln Walker
Franco should have resigned the real growth was after he was gone and the isolation ended
Elijah Bell
>"muh specific brand of socialism has never been tried"
You know why I really hate that argument? Because corruption, and the consequential deviance from what socialism really is, is THE BIGGEST FLAW of socialism.
If socialism worked flawlessly in practice, it would be a pretty solid 8/10 platform for a nation. However, giving way too much power to a centralized clique always ends up with corruption.
Corruption is the biggest flaw of socialism, and the "true socialism/communism was never tried" argument is ironic to its core.
Charles Nelson
The real growth came when EU money flood the country. Dont try to fool anyone. The same is happening with Poland.
Zachary Allen
>implying lib countries don't come together to fuck over any right wing country
Juan Wright

Blake Walker
In addition, I concede that capitalistic/democratic nations become corrupt too, but it takes much longer to rot (multiple generations), while a socialist nation could become a totalitarian regime within a few years.
Correct me if I'm wrong
Ayden King
Because: A)The Eu destriyed the local industry for free bucks,and Spain big chunk of its industrial model,creating an average unemployment rate if 17%.(pic related) B) It is something that has nothing to do with Franco. Even if Spain was a democracy (which it wouldn't have happened if republicans won the war), the EU,wasn't a thing until much later. The growth post Franco was just a fake bubble sustained by Germany. It has nothing to do with the incompetence of a leader.
Nicholas Ward

Yeah America is just as bad. In democracies the tyranny of the mob attacks the spirit whereas in autocracies the rulers attack the body but the spirit remains unharmed and rises above it. A man lives in a democracy but he lives a life far worst than death.
