This Paolo Di Canio Business

Re: O/T Manager Sack Watch

[/B]

That's not necessarily true: Nazism was an ideology passed on purity of race and on eugenics concerned with the superiority of one race over another. Fascism really was an attempt at ultra-statism, to life the state above the individual and to blur all civil, cultural and political boundaries between the nation and the state.

They are two differing ideologies.

Really?

Both are anti-democratic

Both see violence as a legitimate method for attaining political power.

Both are nationalistic.

Both promote the interest of the state above the individual.

Both are anti socialist.

Both are militaristic.

Both are imperialistic.

How many more similarities do you want?

The only major difference was the Nazis racial policies.

Because you are judging current fascists by the actions of fascists around 70 years ago.


It would be like judging all Germans for the events 70 years ago.


It would be a silly thing to do.

Yeah nice one! No It would be like judging all German nazis of today with all German Nazis of seventy years ago. Got to be a bit smarter than that mate.:ross:

Your comments show you to have an incredibly naive world view, where everything is either black or white.


I don't think i'm going to get through to you, so i'm going to cut my losses and go and do something worthwhile.


Best of luck to Di Canio though.

You have a tendency to take the anti view whenever I post anything, whether on here or in the football section. I suggest that you have the problem. You are quite right though, I do not distinguish between old or Neo fascists. Sorry if that offends you.

I oppose fascism for all sorts of reasons. I am making the case that the Italian fascists were evil. You know like helping the nazis to deport jews. They may not have been overtly racist, but they still did lots of bad things, like murdering political opponents, usually communists, socialists and anarchists. They also locked thousands up as political prisonors. Not as bad as nazis, but still bastards of the highest order. More moral relativism.

There was less collaboration re handing over Jews in Italy than there was in the Channel Islands (the only part of the UK that was occupied).
 
Re: O/T Manager Sack Watch

That and the actions of Mosley's British Union of Fascists is one of the nastier aspects of British history that has been largely ignored.

He could argue with himself in a paper bag I wouldn't worry.

Gilzeantoscore: I thought I did a decent job in trying to enlighten you, but Armchair Expert did a far better job than I ever could, and he's clearly very erudite on this subject and I bow to his superior knowledge on this matter - but not on the issue of CL or Europa League :)

I'd love to read your paper on the subject if it's available anywhere online or anything.

I pretty much deflated his argument that the Italian fascists and Nazis were different ideologies. Did you bother to read it? Can't see how his argument was in any way erudite. Just another point of view. Fascism preceded Nazism, and Hitler was a great admirer of Mussolini in the early years. In fact, as he was already in power, Mussolini was seen as the senior figure. Nazism, is a form of fascism. They (the fascist parties) share many positions such as being anti democratic, violent revolutionary, Statist, nationalist, imperialist, militarist and anti socialist. These are basic ideas, that are not in dispute by any academics and can be proven by the behaviour of all fascist movements in the 30's and 40's i.e. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Fascist Spain and militarist Japan.

I can well understand why some propagandist in the 21st century would seek to distance fascism from Nazism. As I posted previously, they seek to be reasonable, part of the mainstream and in no way threatening. They put the silly uniforms and arm bands away years ago.:lol:

Did you mean "defeated" when you wrote "deflated" because you appear to have done neither.

He said they were different ideologies and I have listed SEVEN ideological positions shared by the German Nazis and the Italian Fascists. I'd say that is a pretty comprehensive rebuttal of his view.

Not really, it was a rather casuistic rebuttal, much like me saying I could easily name seven qualities possessed by both human excrement and elephant dung.

May I ask how you would describe you political affiliations?


Later edit: Hey Gilzean, you added the last line below later because I mugged you off!

Now you are getting it, human excrement and elephant dung aren't that different, that was my point! A long way to the left of your's I would suggest.

Time to end this, I have seen your 'contributions' in other threads and you are clearly a WUM.

Ok, this is a football forum and we best leave it there.

But I can assure you I'd much rather step in elephant dung than human excrement.

I'm politically neutral btw. But if pushed, extremely hard, I'd refer to myself as an environmentalist.
 
Re: O/T Manager Sack Watch

So let me see, we have one camp of the disposition to distinguish between human excrement and elephant dung, who also separate Nazis and Italian fascists, and a second camp of the view that brick is brick and fascists are fascists. A classic case of lumpers and splitters seeing things differently.

Personally I thought the point about the Italian fascists being an earlier and non-racist ideology was well made. However, as pointed out even without the racist tendencies they were a pretty nasty lot. The Nazis adopted many of these core fascists views and added a nasty twist of their own. At this point Mussolini's fascists allied themselves with the Nazis. They might not have shared the racists views, but didn't see it as a problem in their relationship. Hardly an endorsement for Italian fascism.
