What is the reason?
- int_19h 2y agoBecause their ideology translates to a mix of traditionally left and traditionally right policies. Broadly speaking, it tends to be extreme right culturally and center-left economically. Nazi Germany, for example, had quite a few explicitly socialist programs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_Through_Joy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_Through_Joy.
- alganet 2y agoCan you be more specific about the quote you used before? Why do they call themselves "the third position"? Just doing follow-ups to try to understand you.
- int_19h 2y agoI'm sorry, but I'm not going to give a TL;DR lecture on history when there are good sources for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position
- alganet 2y agoWhat you said sounded like a bold claim. I just wanted to understand if you understand the implications of applying that label. I wanted to know if you understand the reason. I'm not gonna blindly fight based on a vague idea that history is repeating itself. Or should I? (rethorical). You seem like a very educated person with broad historical knowledge. Why use cheap accusations to put your ideas forward? (rethorical).
- int_19h 2y agoWhat is the bold claim? That fascists refer to themselves as "third position"? That's literally textbook history. Or that modern-day GOP, now fully taken over by the Christian nationalist wing, is also a "third position" party, and that is why their de facto platform (as evidenced by what they're literally doing right now) is the way it is? That's a simple observation.
