The Neocons
The Paleo-conservatives
The Libertarians
The White Supremacists (rapidly growing)

Versus

The Democratic Party

It's cool though, out of hate for Obama all will rally around the young and dashing Paul Ryan in 2012. :rolleyes:

The Left is general is more collectivist than the Right, naturally there would be more factions among the Right than the Left. Heck, even among the "libertarians" you have the libertarians, constitutionalists, and anarcho-captialists. The main problem is that the only right-wingers who get to higher positions of government are neocons. I think Ron Paul would have been all the guy to unite all the different factions of the right, however, he will be too old by 2012 to challenge Obama.

I personally think that the only two right-wing factions that could unite all the different right-wing groups would be either a paleo-con or a constitutionalist.

Neocons are no friends to conservatism and they only pay lip service to the ideas. The only things neocons do right is tax cuts, and maybe sticking up for gun rights. Other than that the neocons are merely another type of leftist that simply call themselves right-wing. They also create a good strawman for the the other leftists to knock conservative/libertarian ideas.

What evidence is there that "The White Supremacists" group is growing?

07-24-2009, 01:47 PM
I don't see the Left as all that unified. The union membership has been falling apart since the likes of Bill Clinton pushed through NAFTA. There's a large left population that does not want to pay for services to non-citizens. (sensitive word selection in light of other discussion threads)

Obama and Hillary may have mended their relationship on the surface ... but there is a rift underneath them.

Add to that the Democrats elected from Red states. They are not full-time party-line goers.

Not listing the factions does not make them go away.

It doesn't say that there. Not once.

In fact, it all but says simply that the federal government is pretty much considering every Republican but John McCain and Lindsey Graham a 'right wing extremist'. Nothing much more to be gleaned from that fine example of BBC tripe.

The Nazis were right wing.

What these groups you have listed (except the neocon leadership) have in common, is that they hate false elites and usurpation. They all try to remove this artificial power structure. The dems and progressives on the other hand don't share this goal, because they live in their bubble where everything is fine as long as the borrowed money flows.

that's way to Alex Jones for me.

The Nazis had the word Socialist in their name, but they were anything but socialist. Anything the state gave you was in return for something, for men it was work and your life and for women babies.

Nazi Socialist Germany built one of the strongest economies in the world (despite a major boycott) completely free from central banks and based on a commodity (labour hours) currency. Which all sounds pretty libertarian and right wing to me.

They screwed it all up by invading Poland and killing millions of Jews but the main philosophy was on the right.

State owned industry sounds right wing to you? So the Obama takeover of GM is right wing, right?

I never said that. But since you ask it depends on the outcome. When state bodies are taken over to save the nation in times of total war then I don't have a problem with that. That is what Hitler did in Germany.

Obama toke over GM to do the opposite, rip it up and let the bankers strip its best assets than take production over to China or Mexico.

Total war is when every single facet of the economy is turned over to war production. When mothers are told to only fed their children once a day to save on energy etc. It's not that bad yet.

Hitler had no interest in running the economy. If he had won the war (shudder) he would have made some basic pro-Aryan racist stipulations to corporations after that it would have been a free for all.

When Iran gets bombed we will find out. As regards Hitler it wasn't some money grabbing exercise.The Germans believed that if the they lost 'international jewry' would sterilize the entire German male population. That's why Hitler toke over private business. Yes it's bonkers crazy but the Nazis believed it.

No, I don't agree that the left is any less factionalized than the right has become. They've been splintered longer, too, and only managed to hold throw enough votes at Obama and elect him with the help of voters who aren't really leftist because of the strong distaste for Bush and McCain.

Anyone acquainted with Marxist groups easily sees the left's factionalism. Just look at all minuscule Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyite, Stalinist, Maoist, etc. organizations there are pushing their ridiculous newspapers on college campuses and in major cities. Then you add in left greens, anarchists, and Nader-type folks into the mix. I dare say the left is more splintered than the right, and their hatreds and distrust of other factions seems to run far deeper.

Strange as it is, any internet search will reveal feisty socialist groups that rail against each other more than they do capitalism in a bizarre hatred that goes way deeper than differences on the right between, say, Libertarians and Paleo-Conservatives.

No, it's not. Currently, it just appears that way. The "Left" is having their problems, too. Chaos just breeds more chaos. We, the people, need to return to minimal law as specified under the Constitution. However, the latter statement doesn't imply the fantasy world of no law which just breeds chaos or excessive law which just breeds unnecessary oppression. * ;)

* Unfortunately, even some law seems oppressive to anarchists, but the real world is a harsh mistress. Furthermore, minimal law seems threatening to snobbish socialists since they don't want "lower" class individuals mucking up their utopian world with independent decisions, but the real world is a harsh mistress. :)

When you get right down to the nitty gritty, all statists are first cousins to each other. It really doesn't matter, in the long run, which is which or what their minor differences are.

Exactly. You can even trace the neo-con philosophical foundations back to fascistic roots at institutions like the University of Chicago. I contend that fascism was more left than right, as a historical political movement. Benito Mussolini started out as a fervent socialist, and never let go of socialist rhetoric or policies under his fascist system. He even flirted with Stalin-like land collectivization in his most radical phase toward the end of WWII, when he was given his own little fiefdom under German military protection, the so-called Republic of Salo.

Incidentally, many of the original neo-cons were hardcore Marxists in their youth, mostly Trotskyites of one stripe or another. Someone with the time and brilliance could probably write a whole volume about what these weird left-right/socialist-fascist ideological crossovers mean in the personal lives of prominent rulers (and would be rulers). It's really interesting though, at least to me.

Hell yes! That would be an unstoppable platform if we could convince people (right and left) to give up some other parts of their agenda.

But, seriously, the left is just as full of factions as the right, perhaps even more so. The Left is primed to break apart the second the Right does. The only thing that holds together the Left is that they have an enemy in the Right that they feel they must defeat. The "anyone but Bush" mentality. Many of them split from the Dems in 2000 to vote for Nader and they regret it bitterly because they think that allowed Bush to take power.

Once they learn the error of their ways--Obama isn't much better than Bush, if at all--they might be ready for a more progressive candidate, someone like Kucinich or a 3rd party run. They need to learn that they will -never- get the change they want unless they fight their own party for control, just like Ron Paul Republicans would never get the change they want if they just gave in and voted for McCain.

The thing about voting is that you have to vote for what you want, otherwise you stand no chance of getting it, lol. It's simple but for some reason people don't get it.

The Libertarians have numerous divisive factions of their own.

In 2008, after 36 years of fielding candidates for President, the LP garnered only four tenths of one percent of the popular vote, and ZERO electoral votes.

No wonder that Libertarians like Ron Paul, Peter Schiff etc.---are telling Libertarians to get involved and active with the Republican Party. Ron will now only run for office as a Republican.
