OldNick Posted 22 May, 2009 Share Posted 22 May, 2009 I hate racism and would not vote BNP. It is strange that Stalin's regime killed more people than Hitlers, but is always pushed under the carpet. Both extremes are unpalettable IMO but I do think people are starting to feel marginalised and may run to them.I dont live in an area where they have the people called to prayer on loadspeakers.

Nationalist Socialist = Facist It's quite ironic really they have a spitfire on their leaflet(which I read, screwed up and put in the bin ), considering it was what helped defeat Hitler which is effectively of the same ideology as them. Also, they are using the Queens party as a publicity stunt. If you got invited to a party like that, who would you invite? Your wife/husband or your boss?

badgerx16 Posted 22 May, 2009 Share Posted 22 May, 2009 A moving video that certainly makes you think. Very sad. It's only sad because it reinforces the stereotypical, rabidly WASP, perception of Islam, and because sufficient people accept this imagery as truly representative of the entirity of the Muslim faith to make it viable as a political doctrine. It also insults the memory of the war dead - remember those that died in the European theatre died fighting fellow Europeans, and those in the far east were fighting the Japanese;in neither theatre were they fighting Muslims. Indeed, there were plenty of Muslims soldiers, from both the British and French colonies, who fought and died to defeat Nazism & the Japanese. However, to paraphrase; Whilst I completely disagree with what you say, I will defend your right to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chain of events went something like this.... Germany annexes Austria, sets it's sights on the Sudetenland, is warned off but invades anyway. Britain & France tell the Germans to stop throwing their weight around or else - Germany ignores the threat and takes control of the rest of Czechoslovakia. Britain & France then say "no more, or else', which yet again the Germans ignore, and they invade Poland on Sept 1st 1939. Yet again we tell them to get out or else, they call our bluff, and we declare war on Sept 3rd. Therefore, I think, we went to war to defend the liberty of the Poles, from the fascists !. As for 'left wing views', Ramsey MacDonald had been Labour Prime Minister twice in the 1920's, and the last election before the war returned a Labour opposition of 154 members under Clem Atlee, with a total of 7,984,988 votes ( as compared to 10,025,083 for the Conservatives ) , so certainly a substantial minority must have been of that persuasion. :cool: Edited 24 May, 2009 by badgerx16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until recently Labour wasn't left wing in the Daily Mirror sense and for that matter the Daily Mirror wasn't left wing in it's current guise until they saw a market to sell their papers that none of the others catered for. Labour was the party for the working class, the Tories were the party for the middle/upper classes. All this left/right/middle ground talk was completely irrelevent to party politics at this period in our history. It's for this reason that the largest %age of BNP voters comes from ex Labour voters.

Labour was the party for the working class, B0ll0x !!! Keir Hardie was a SOCIALIST and founder of the Independent Labour Party, who in 1900 formed the Labour Representation Committee, from a mix of Trade Union and Socialist groups, because he felt the Liberals did not really represent the working class. in 1906 this group changed it's name to The Labour Party. In 1908 he was replaced as leader by another SOCIALIST and trade unionist, Arthur Henderson. Ramsey MacDonald, the first Labour PM,was also a SOCIALIST, having been a member of the Socialist Union, and then the ILP in the later part of the 19th century, indeed he stood as their candidate in Southampton in 1895. Clem Atlee, who joined the ILP in 1908 when he decided that SOCIALISM was the only way to truly help fight poverty, was the prime mover behind the concepts of 'social democracy' and the Welfare State.

The second that 'our grandparents' were not left wing in their views, is also patently wrong, given that the founding fathers of the Labour Party were most certainly socialist and over 7 million voted for them in the last election before the war. But I will give you a chance : in your world, ( whatever colour the sky might be ), if somebody comes along with a political philosophy that states that there will be a universal old-age pension, payable out of state funds; free education for all; free health care for all; social welfare payments for the unemployed and disabled; full recognition of trade union rights; and that taxation will be levied proportionally based on the ability to pay relative to the level of earnings - are they left wing, centrist, or right wing ?

I am right on both points. We entered WW2 because we had a treaty with Poland to assist them if their soverignty was threatened. Poland just happened to have been invaded by Germany under fascist control. It could just have easily have been invaded by the Bolsheviks. Therefore we weren't fighting a crusade against Fascism, we were fighting to uphold a treaty against a country that happened to be fascist. On the second point you fail to understand that Socialism isn't a left wing wing ideal, nor has it ever been until Labour morphed into New Labour. Up until the the early 1980's Labour was a party for working class people with left, centre AND right wing views, but this changed and newspapers such as the Daily Mirror changed with it. National Socialism - do you know what this means? Well i'll tell you. It means Socialism for the Nationalists or in laymans terms a party for right wing working class voters. This shows that socialism isn't exclusively a left wing ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland just happened to have been invaded by Germany under fascist control. It could just have easily have been invaded by the Bolsheviks. Therefore we weren't fighting a crusade against Fascism, we were fighting to uphold a treaty against a country that happened to be fascist. Wrong, the Common Defence Pact, signed on August 25th 1939, 2 days after the Nazi - Soviet Pact was signed, whilst on face value covering an invasion of Poland by any other country, actually included secret clauses, ( which only came to light relatively recently ), that specifically, and exclusively, related the treaty to Germany alone. In has to be noted that August 25th was the day before the Germans' original date for the start of the invasion of Poland, and as a result of the signing, the date was put back. On the other point, could you please explain, for the wider audience, where Socialism and 'left wing' politics differ ? As things stand, if we had a poll on here about whether they are in fact the same thing, I think you would find yourself in a minority of 1 in thinking that they are not Are you saying that the Wilson Governments were not 'left wing', because MI5 certainly thought they were, and many of his parliamentary party had previously been card carrying communists.
