Robsk II Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Imperialism is generally held to be advocating policies of expansion of sovereign rule to foreign / over sea lands. It's also associated with economic and political influence over weaker nation states. Fascism is a nationalist, authoritarian ideology which advocates single party states, and does not tolerate criticism or opposition. They usually subscribe to the concept of 'social darwinism', believing that nations and peoples must assert themselves over others to prove dominance, usually by combat. While some similarities exist, the simple fact of the matter is that imperialism does not necessitate massive repression. Imperialism can control and benefit from other countries in a relatively benign manner. Repression and negative acts, war etc, may happen as a part of it, but fascism demands these things.

So the concentration camps in Kenya (post war) didn't happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsk II Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 You stupid f*cking idiot. You can't even read, can you? or appropriately take in information. I have VERY CLEARLY stated that imperialism can in turn become oppressive, and that some acts within it may have highly similar traits to fascist policies. The key difference is that fascism has these this kind of thing as a fundamental tenet; imperialism does not. You thick idiot. if you actually argue effectively, people might actually listen. I mean, it's exasperating. You've just picked up on something I've said, crystal clear, quoted a tiny segment, and then tried to pick a hole in it which I have clearly addressed not only in the same paragraph, but as the whole sodding point of the bit I wrote!

Mole Posted 14 June, 2009 Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Actually Rob let's forget it. I could quite easily show that our grandparent weren't fighting fascism - they were fighting to prevent a conquest, but i can't be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsk II Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Do you really think I don't know that? Yes, it became convenient to say it was all a fight against fascism after, and indeed at the time, but do you reallyu believe anyone here is retarded enough not to understand that it was a bit more complex than that?

Robsk II Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Some of them did it for that reason. Some of them did it because they were just following the flag / duty etc. Some did it because they heard of what was happening to those oppressed by the Axis. Some did it for adventure. Some did it because their mates did. Many did it for a whole mix of these things, and some would have sympathised with fascism. There's no secret there.

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 One by one put them in a room with a Stag for 5 minutes, no costly psychological reports, then babysat through the judicial system, only to be handed out a pathetic sentance, these scum will progress to carry out more sinister crimes than this one, so cull them now.

captain sensible Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 I poisoned some rats a few years ago and finnished them off with the back of a shovel. Do you consider that cruel or kind? I think you may have the qualities, experience, and persona for the position of Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Force. Are you available for interview, and what are your salary requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
