And tossing in their names is also irrelevant to the points being made, as it relates to how similar Fascism & Communism are, when it comes to oppressing its citizenry

That makes no sense at all.

Nazism is simply one variety of Fascism.

Stalinism is one variety of Communism.

Democratic Socialism is neither.

I did not introduce Stalin and Hitler to this conversation. Both are irrelevant in the context of today.

Stalin is irrelevant, because Stalin is dead.
The same goes for Hitler.

Ford lost millions of sales of cars because of his warped anti Semitic views. He was a clever industrialist, but he was an ignoramus when it came to history, politics and government.

.

Speaking of no sense at all....you're all over the ball park on that latest, not to mention still irrelevant to the points plane & I have been making.  You're the only one apparently singling out Stalin & Hitler


I did not introduce Stalin and Hitler to this conversation.

LOL........riiiiiiight.  Care to try again?


Both are irrelevant in the context of today

So why do you keep injecting them, into the debate??

He is also deceased.

The history of what Ford's views brought him are not bunk. History is obviously NOT bunk.

History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes, as Mark Twain says.

So there are certainly good reasons to study and analyze it.

Henry Ford is certainly no expert on the importance of history. History is most certainly NOT bunk.

A lot of what Ford said and did WERE bunk, by the way. Read upon Fordlandia, his rubber plantation in Amazonas, Brazil, in which he tried to change his Brazilian workers into Protestant American industrial drudges.

Strikes and drunken rioting ensued.

A total disaster,and rather humorous to read about in the book about it, entitled "Fordlandia".

Others, sensing that Ford was wrong about history being bunk, have not tried to duplicate his efforts.

Good points , I would almost think that someone elese said this;

If Greeks that want Greece to be full of Greeks are Fasists, are Palistenians who want Palistine to be full of Palistenians Fascistists?

Greeks are opposed to illegals from Africa, because they will work of less than Greeks will.

Palestinians are opposed to Israelis, because they are stealing their land and water resources.

Fascism is a minority group in Greece,and does not exist in Palestine.

Really?

I would guess otherwise.

Could the fascists in Palestine be a prevalent as water is in the Mediterranean?

Interesting , what have they done to prevent ?

IN the USA ,where there is hardly any excuse not to know better , we have a few.

If they have good ways to educate their people even better than we do about the evil of fascism, perhaps we should learn it.
