1. Facsist. Freepers hate sharing.

2. I voted fascist as well

But I really don't understand why they worship corporations so...

Aren't they aware that the reason our middle class is dying off is the greed at the top rungs of the corporate ladder? That's why they have to ship everyone else's job overseas... so they can pay themselves 750 times what the average american worker gets.

Suckers!

5. Although as Left and Right apporach Totalitarianism they begin to merge

Hence the easy gullibility of Freepers who are taught that Hitler was a Leftist.

(Just ONCE, I would love for a Freeper to go to a Nazi Party meeting and call them "a bunch of liberal socialists", but they don't have the guts)

11. I think some of that has to do with this book...

...called None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen which is the earliest perversion of the left-right spectrum I can think of.

The other thing I'd like to see them explain is how anarchists are the far far left wing, and how communism as Marx proposed it eventually gives way to anarchism. I was in the #politics chat room of Undernet and actually had the far right people surprised...they'd never heard this stuff before.

3. They're Rexists, corporatists, Pinochetists...

death-squadists and so forth. All variants of classical fascism. The combination of theocracy and corporatism is striking. A certain faction of neo-conservatism is adamantly against this ideology and there will be conflicts down the road. The Free Republic types, many of them anyway, are latent anti-Semites, which is another component of fascism. I cannot see how they are communists, though some neo-cons are ideological bastard children of communism.

4. One freeper declared hisadmiration for spanish facists

Awhille back when i needed a good laugh so i checked in on my favorite group of "morans" and they were talking about spanish generals one freep said headmired a facist general in the Spanish civil war another said he would join with the facists anyday over the anarchists or communist and then another one dittoed that not suprising

6. i think that republicanism is a wing of the facist party

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is
the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.

7. Card carrying Nazi Party members

With a Hitler fetish.

8. I think you need to know the meaning of those terms

before you even run a poll on them.

9. Reactionary vs. Radical

Once a teacher of mine opined that though they are at opposite ends of an imaginary line, taken to extremes , they are pretty much the same, except in a fascist government, citizens are allowed to keep property.

10. freepers are our mirror opposites

passionately partisan for the most. informed of that which they want to me informed. the wackos as dean puts it...just like us.
