Don't these people see an echo of the swastika in their new power symbol? Don't they realize that the early Nazi Party was (among other things, obviously) also overtly anti-capitalist?

Capitalist... communist... same difference.

What disturbing symbols might look like.

Them there is some deep observations. Hoo wee.

sheilanagig: Code_Archeologist: Antisemitism and claims of fascism have become the "Race Card" of the right-wing.

That's terribly ironic, given that those movements, the Nazis and the fascists, were right-wing movements.

Let a bunch of mouthy, arrogant dickbags run everything. Stand behind their pillaging and attacks on given sectors of the populace. Rest assured you're fine as long as you're not one of those sectors. End up with your teeth kicked out your ass when decent human beings rise up to shut off your douchebag fearless leaders. Rinse, repeat.

Could there be anything less racist, less fascist, or less authoritarian than the OWS crowd?

And will someone inform the republicans that if they were in Germany in 1933 it is fear mongering ultra conservative nationalists like them that would have represented the core of the Nazi party.

You know who ELSE celebrated Jewish holi--oh, wait . . .

Dan Sieradski, who calls himself the "de facto spokesman" for Occupy Judaism, an effort to rally the Jewish community out to the protests, was emphatic that those featured in the video were outliers - or as he called them "a couple of jerks and idiots." He pointed out that OWS held services for Jewish High Holidays, which he said brought a thousand people, and that protesters have even been celebrating the Jewish holiday of Sukkot in ceremonial structures known as Sukkahs, which have been built in 12 cities including London and Toronto.

ftfa: The "few Jew-baiters," wrote Michelle Goldberg, "are marginal, particularly compared to the large numbers of Jewish activists taking part." She wrote that ECI's accusation was "dishonest and deceptive."

weird how that works huh? Have some people with terrible opinions show up at your rally and somehow your entire movement is branded with those bad acts.

I don't think that has ever happened before.

but wait, the OWS guys are okay with the anit-Semitism on display.

Occupy LA protesters demonstrated on the steps of Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters Monday, speaking out against the district's dismissal of a substitute teacher who made public comments deemed anti-Semitic at a recent protest.


so maybe the label is appropriate.

That's terribly ironic, given that those movements, the Nazis and the fascists, were right-wing movements.

They were deemed 'right wing' in Germany in the 1920's as a way to differenctiaite between the NSDAP, SPD and KPD, as NSDAP=Right, SPD= Center, KPD= Left, but as part of German society the DNVP was the right wing as in general elections the Nazis were on the political left, and even partnered with the communists as various points until they took power. The only thing 'right wing' about them was that they supported a strong military and war, but socialy they were to the left of the SPD (closely to the KPD) in Germany and were fiscally very similar to the SPD. It is a misnomer that they were 'right wing' by todays political definition they would be very left wing.

OWS's demands-

1) Mandatory Christian education in public schools
2) Homosexuality punished with kidnapping and murder in death camps
3) Worker's unions outlawed

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE THAT THEY'RE NAZIS

OK here, 1) the Nazi were against christian education in the schools in germnay and tried to ban christian private schools, they backed off the lutherans due to threat of riot and the pope made a deal to protect catholic schools, though the had to put a picture of hitler next to the crucifix.. In fact Hitler hated Christianity and was a pagan himself while people like Himmler were atheists who also hate Christianity
2) until 1934 the Nazis were very pro-gay, even hosting gay friendly events (even providing legal help to people charged with sodomy and the nazis originally called for a repeal on those laws). the number 3 in the nazi party until 1934, Ernst Rohm, was openly gay. In 34 hitler killed of his potential rivals like Rohm, and people like Himmler, who also were homophobes, rose to new high positions and conviced hitler to go after gays. We know from Hilters writings that he didn't care one way or another about gays, but he wanted people like Himmler happy.
3) Nazis did not outlaw unions, the supported pro-nazi unions. in the 1920's and early 30's there were fights between pro-nazi unions and pro-SPD unions. when the nazis took power they gave all power to their unions after 1933, the Nazis disbanded the SPD unions and replaced them with more powerful nazi unions, the German Labor Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF), which was comprised of 2 primary entities, the National Socialist Factory Organization and the National Socialist Trade and Industry Organization.

Here is an actual quote from Mein Kampf
I think that I have already answered the first question adequately. In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of social policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere. For when the great masses of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade unionist movement the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby.

Before everything else, the trades unions are necessary as building stones for the future economic parliament, which will be made up of chambers representing the various professions and occupations.

Sure they say they are not endorsing the comments, they are just jumping to defending the person.
