When I had finished reading this I was going to say just the same thing. The SLA, and the Weather Underground Organization both spring to mind immediately. They engaged in Kidnapping, bombings, and Bank Robbery. The WRO actually issued a Declaration of War against the United States. They were every bit a terrorist group as were the groups that bombed the Murrah Building and that attack and kill abortion clinics and providers.
No it does not sound conservative, but neither does opposing same sex marriage, it is right wing politics. While new left liberalism and communism are both on the left side of the spectrum they are not the same, just as conservatism and fascism are both on the right side of the spectrum they are NOT the same. True communism as espoused by Marx believe in ultimate ownership of the means of production by the people. The Vanguard was only supposed to establish the revolution and then turn it over to the people. Italian fascism and German Nazism believed in the State and ultimately the leader as the ultimate expression of the people. Both movements oppose individualism and civil rights, but they have different philosophies. The workers and societal good is most important to communists while the nation itself is the most important thing in fascism. Neither the conservative movement in this country nor the liberal movement seeks to end ALL individual rights, they just pick their favorites to attack.
Thus endeth the lesson.
it's also worth noting that Mussolini began as a socialist and was thrown out of the party simply because of his stance on neutrality during WW1....they praised his commitment to socialist ideals even then.....
No it doesn't. You ever hear of Federalism?
Again, you don't know what your talking about. Study some history dude. American liberals invented the free market concept.
Again, you don't know what your talking about. American liberalism favors liberty, freedom of choice, freedom of self determination, the value of the individual, the sanctity of private property and human rights. You base your argument on a false premis. Having a social conscience and understanding that a civilized socieity often enters into social contracts for the betterment of all does not in any way negate the value of individual responsibility. Nor does it equate with extremism, authoritarianism or totalitarianism. Such an inference defies both logic and reason.
There aren't any but you keep forgeting. The American far right is not in any way shape or form conservatives. They are political reactionaries. Just because you co-opt a term does not make it so. The correalation with far right reactionaries are authoritarianism and it's totalitarian cousin fascism.
and apparently you are basing yours on a false distinction......identify which of those you believe distinguishes "liberals" from "conservatives".....I have presented a factor which distinguishes, namely, the role of government with respect to those matters......deal with that instead of commonalities....
More like completely.
"having democracy" isn't a distinguishing factor between liberals and conservatives, either.....if you intend to show that the right and fascists are in sync, you need to identify things that distinguish the left from fascists that also do not distinguish the right from fascists......
