Having lived near to Dresden I can say that they are a very strange lot certainly a very large amount of racists even white folk that don’t speak a high level of German are susceptible to abuse
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

So you say they can combine ... can you think of any examples of where (actual) socialism has mixed with other ideologies to create fascism?
If you're wondering why you're being pressed on this, it's because I'd say that there are a few people thinking you've made a very politically motivated point, presumably because you favour the Conservative Party over Labour in the coming election, to somehow infer that socialism leads to fascism ... when as Harry Wilson, has quite rightly pointed out, they are as close to opposite as two ideologies can get

It's just crazy that all over Europe the far right is on the march to the extent that it is. Nazi salute openly displayed in football matches, ridiculous racist governments being elected in eastern europe and now this. Alarming times and normal thinking people have got to peacefully but firmly say that this is unacceptable

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. HWT is one of the few people on here who’s views I respect, whether I agree with them or not. In my field of expertise I will hold my own with anyone, but as far as politics are concerned, I have views and opinions, but that is all they are.

They tried that during 1939 - 1945. How did that work out?
Ps, It was just a thought, I do not condone Nazism at all.

Gents (or ladies, let's not be presumptious) we have nothing to argue about. One of those conversations that wouldn't create confusion in a pub because one would say 'are you speaking literally or semanically or politically or hypothetically? And then we'd explain.
My fault for intiating a conversation that doesn't work well on a forum.
Or as John Cleese once said, 'is this a 10 minute argument or do you want the full half hour'?
History has shown that extreme socialism (communism) and extreme nationalism (fascism) have the same outcomes in practice: oppression, genocide, dictatorship, racism and war.
Also, the momentum version of labour are sadly demonstrating how socialism can embrace racism and hatred as much as fascists via anti semitism
The Nazis were defeated with a massive input from the US and Russia. So it’s win win win for the PPFs this time...
Was in Dresden in September and saw nothing but normal life and driving through the Silesian countryside was idyllic. Racist ***** everywhere. Very worrying.
Indeed Knocky it is worrying. I agree. Wonder what causes it. We know the history from 33 - 45. Any suggestions why regarding the here and now?
