- rbanffy 5y agoIt's really hard to be both far-right and far-left at the same time.
- TMWNN 5y agoThe Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact says otherwise. German and Soviet troops that met in Poland after invading from the west and east had no trouble in celebrating their victory together, holding parades and such. As John Gunther—who was in Moscow when the world learned of the pact's existence in August 1939—wrote, "communism and Fascism were more closely allied than was normally understood".
- MadeThisToReply 5y agoWhat about horseshoe theory?
- rbanffy 5y agoNazism is far-right and authoritarian. Socialism is just far-left, but not necessarily authoritarian. Soviet-style socialism was very authoritarian and that's why it got its bad reputation. And you can be authoritarian and not even be on the left-right axis - Saudi Arabia is an example, as is Afghanistan now.
- beaconstudios 5y agoBoth of those countries are theocratic and extremely socially conservative, which places them on the far right.
- rbanffy 5y agoMaybe, but they don't have really free markets either. In this regard, North Korea is more of an absolutist monarchy than any previously known form of socialism.
- lettergram 5y agoRead the book, look into the forums content, funding sources, history, etc I was pointing out the anti-United states propaganda has been going on for years.
- beaconstudios 5y agoI'm not going to do all that to verify your comment. It strikes me as an absurd claim, at least in part because nazis and communists are opposites, and everybody is predicting the fall of the US' dominance to China these days. The WEF is just liberal capitalism. The trend towards technofeudalism (everyone is renting their existence from big corps) has been going on for a while, at the hands of capitalists. Because its profitable. See: the growth of financing/credit, software subscriptions, etc.
- hunterb123 5y agoI don't see how you can read things like the Great Reset and think the things you do.
- beaconstudios 5y agoI'm open to convincing arguments. What do you think the Great Reset is? To me it seems like late capitalists doing a capitalism as they always do, trying to eke out more profit by way of financier feudalism.
- RajT88 5y agoIf I am not mistaken "The Great Reset" is written by Glenn Beck. I may be wrong, as there are several books with that name, but the Beck book is the one most likely to involve railing against Nazis and Communists.

- blackshaw 5y ago"The Great Reset" is the name of a book by Klaus Schwab, who is chairman of the WEF. It was also the name that the WEF gave to their 50th annual meeting, which took place in 2020. Conspiracy theories aside, I've read Schwab's book, and it's a moronic, badly-written pile of buzzwords and corporate jargon that says nothing of interest and reads like the work of a hungover undergraduate who's padding the wordcount the night before the deadline while hoping the professor won't realise he hasn't done the reading. I'd tell you to ignore it, except Schwab is a man of enormous power and influence, so his apparent inability to produce an intelligent thought is really quite troubling.
