Democrats And The ‘Reeducation’ Of The American People
Derek Hunter

Posted: Jan 19, 2020 12:01 AM

Leftists love the concept of “reeducating” the public, the idea that we, the great unwashed, are too simpleminded to understand both complex issues of policy and what is best for ourselves in our own lives. (See this Bernie Sanders campaign employee advocating Gulags and reeducation camps for conservatives.) They have the answers, we’re just too stupid to allow them to impose those solutions. It’s the cornerstone of the progressive political philosophy – our moral and intellectual betters need to be empowered to shape our lives so they can make the world a better place. Hitler believed this, as did Stalin, Mao, and every other left-wing dictator who helped rack up 100 million dead human beings in pursuit of this Utopian ideal in the 20th century.

You’d think 100 million dead would give some people pause, but you’d be wrong. Modern progressives deflect the reality of their philosophical forefathers with answers like, “Stalin wasn’t a real communist, they should’ve followed Trotsky!” and “Hitler was a right-winger. Answers of this sort demonstrate an elementary school-level understanding of politics and history.

Hitler has been described as a right-winger by the left, and a left-winger by the right.
He was actually neither.
What he was a radical revolutionary. His politics were more fascist than either conservative or leftist.
He and the other hardcore Nazis wanted to totally remake German society based on race and absolute power by Nazi leaders.
The original Nazis hated capitalism therefore The National Socialist Party.
However, Hitler didn't really hate capitalism that much. He just wanted to subordinate all German industry to his vision of a new Germany based on iron rule by himself and the elimination or enslavement of all non-Germanic/nordic peoples.
Certainly, German conservatives supported Hitler over communists believing he would save them from the leftists.
But Hitler used conservatives like he used everybody else. His ideas for the new Germany were radical, not conservative.
In that sense, he was more attuned with leftist/communist revolutionaries than conservatives.
But he was not a true leftist. 
Just a radical, revolutionary fascist more than anything else.

It takes a great deal of education and lack of common sense to be a Democrat these days.  It's been that way since Clinton was Preezy of the United Steezy.  They abandoned all reason in the 2000 election.  The Florida recount was a symptom, not the disease.  That's the date I have marked for the day the Rats went completely off the rails, and they show no sign of getting back on the track. 

Yes, I know, they've been Communists (in hiding) since the days of Ol' Rubberlegs, but they became totally unhinged when they thought they could steal that election through the continuous recounts until they win through fraud.

The main thing that will always stand in their way is that life has a way of walking up and hitting you across the face with a 2x4... Just wait till those young budding liberals get out of college and have to face the cold, cruel reality. Because it is surely coming.
