You seem quite intelligent and I admire your curiosity in verifying the information I have presented about Maine, so please allow me to point out the absurdity of the word “far right” both in Europe and especially in the US.
Italian fascism and National Socialism were emerging at the same approximate time, two completely different political movements sharing expansionist goals, natural military allies. “Right wing” at the time meant that you were for the social and political order of monarchists and the aristocratic class. Ideas that I hold about American government, property rights, individual rights and application of law were not even around in Europe in any significant numbers.
Soviet Communists had recently formed a new nation, and were in desperate need to cultivate a sense of “national socialism” in their new socialist nation. The Germans had already coined this term, so it became convenient to lump them in with fascists to rhetorically distinguish them from the REAL Socialists. The Germans rolled with it too in no small part, and thus came under the umbrella of Italian fascism, when it was really Italian fascism that eventually came under the umbrella of National Socialism when the Germans moved in during the war.
If fascism and National Socialism are functionally the same, why did Austrian fascists ban the National Socialist party years before the Anschluss?
Today, I am described as “far right” by socialists, in a clear attempt to suggest I share Hitler’s broad goals and vision for society.
American conservatism and National Socialism could not be more different, no matter how you would like to examine it. We share few characteristics with Italian fascism as well.
Nazis distinguished themselves from Marxists by substituting race for class in their conception of Socialism, otherwise it was remarkably similar, especially the rhetoric in the 1920’s and early 1930’s that propelled them to power. Hitler went to great lengths to explain why his use of dialectic materialism was superior to Marx’s, along with explaining his own hatred of capitalism.
Let’s go over some key characteristics that defined National Socialism that are completely absent from American conservative political thought.
Race-based public policy? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no
Distorted historical narratives to advance ideology? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no.
Rent controls? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no
Price controls? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no
Central economic planning? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no
Speech controls? Nazis yes, DSA big yes, Republicans no
Anti-capitalist? Nazis yes, DSA yes, Republicans no
Similarities between Republicans and Nazis include very, very little in fact. Nothing about that system of government is remotely compatible with American conservatism. Nothing about the DSA’s ideas are, either.
The most historically significant common denominator shared between National Socialism and American conservatism is our opposition to Marxist-Leninists. I personally despise that ideology with every bit of hatred I can muster for National Socialism. Those two inbred brothers and their retarded cousin fascism all belong in history’s trash bin.
Hitler used his distortion of history to convince a bunch of Germans that they were victims and promised to deliver “social justice” by applying the law unequally in Germany to “balance the scales” of history and deliver “social justice” for the favored victim group, Germans.
Democrats do the same thing today. Discriminating on the basis of race is a core belief of Democrats in 2025. Not doing that at all is a core belief of conservatives in 2025. We become “racist” for not discriminating, suggesting our lack of support for socialism is intended to prevent socialists from “balancing the scales”.
American conservatives believe in equality, not “social justice” or “equity”. Equality means every citizen gets treated the same under the law. “Equity” means that race and other characteristics is a factor in applying the law differently to different people, based on the person’s perceived race.
Back to Maine, if it is “far right” to oppose what’s been visited on this land in the last six year, than “far right” I am. I have raised my battle flag publicly, as have many others. I have a very, very solid understanding of American government, a good grasp on the legal system and a very comprehensive understanding of political rhetoric used in America.
I know what I am, and it is not a fascist, National Socialist, Marxist-Leninist, or a Democratic Socialist. I know what all of those things are, and American conservatives are as far away from all of the socialists as can be and nowhere close to fascists.
Thank goodness it is, as it is the ONLY reason we’re not on a path to needing the 2nd Amendment to get out of one-party Socialist rule. That IS the entire intent behind flooding nations with state-dependent migrants. Nobody campaigned on it in Maine or the USA. Democrats just topped enforcing immigration law, started trafficking people in, getting them on all benefits possible, calling everyone who objected racist and Nazis.
Hopefully, after understanding that the DSA is NOT a political party, you can at least acknowledge that I’m speaking of the situation in Maine objectively. I don’t distort what I write about here at all.
I do not see how that is, when Europeans are getting locked up for social media posts that harm no one. A man in the UK was arrested for standing and silently praying outside of an abortion clinic, speaking no words whatsoever.
Again, I would be getting the knock on my door for what I’ve said about the political situation in Maine, stating a clear opposition to public policies enforcing transgender vocabulary in public schools, mass illegal migration, empowering migrants to vote, and the shocking rise in crime we’ve experienced.
You cannot open the door to hate speech laws, or you’ve already lost the free speech battle. Today’s approved speech can now easily become tomorrow’s hate speech, depending on what works to the advantage of whoever is in control.
If you’d really like to learn more about American conservative political thought, I highly recommend reading virtually any Thomas Sowell book, or watching him speak on youtube. If we have had an ideological thought leader in the last 50 years, it has been Sowell.
Always a pleasure to disagree with a thoughtful person. I admire your curiosity and hope you will continue to grow in understanding. Today, right now, Socialists in Maine are attempting to destroy my friends daycare business, where all children are welcome and cared for. They are attempting to destroy another friends hairdressing business that she owns and operates. This is the woman who spoke up about school assault policies after her daughter was savagely beaten.
They are trying to destroy me too, having contacted my previous employer to inform them that I am a white supremacist. I am a contractor now, and my client likes me just fine, so they cannot threaten me.
I also happen to be able to whoop ass, and the local ones are aware that I am exceptionally strong, have trained martial arts and worked bar security, on account of my public facebook profile with a couple of pictures of this and a video of me doing some squat.
I’m here for any of those punks that want to punch people they call Nazis. I would take great delight in such a confrontation in the streets, but I doubt any of them will have the balls to confront me.
They will absolutely go after the weaker people who are vulnerable.
We are WAY out of the theoretical academic debate in Maine. My neighbors actually believe the “far right” narrative, and truly believe we are Nazis.
