Nazism has ten attributes:
Racism with White supremacy
Nationalist xenophobia
Big lie propaganda that denies or reverses truth
Loyalty and obedience to an authoritarian leader
Imperial conquest as national destiny
Militarism and glorification of guns and war
Religious intolerance with exclusionary bigotry
Male supremacy with oppression of women
Contempt for democracy and elections
Contempt for judicial independence, law and human rights
The left-right spectrum is a systematically misleading expression. It misleads people into thinking that Nazism and Communism are opposites. They are not. Nazism and Communism are twins.
The political spectrum is a circle, with one axis, promotion of equality, and the other axis, tolerance for liberty. On that circle, Nazism and Communism are right next to each other.
Nazis, Communists, white supremacists, colonialists, Islamists, Christian nationalists, and America-Firsters have no tolerance for liberty. They are freedom's foes. They forbid teaching of honest history. They ban books. They oppose diversity. They deport asylum seekers and immigrants. They arrest, imprison, or kill opponents.
They drag nations into the dark dungeons of tyranny.
Nazism replaces Christianity with worship of the Nazi party and the state. Hitler’s Nazis made genocide state policy. The Holocaust murdered six million Jews and another six million people from other "inferior races."
Communism replaces the worship of God with worship of the communist party and the state. Exclusionary atheism is the communist state religion.
Marxists believe that capitalism causes oppression. But Marxist regimes have murdered over one hundred million more people than all capitalist nations combined. Leninists believe that imperialism is the final stage of capitalism. But the only remaining empires are two post-communist empires, the Russian Empire and the Chinese Empire.
Communist and Nazi dictatorships are actually the successors to feudal monarchies and theocracies. They are counter-modernization movements.
Today Nazi, fascist, monarchist, theocratic, and communist regimes rule a third of the world.
China commits genocide against Tibetans and Uyghurs with impunity. It has built a totalitarian surveillance state with cameras, artificial intelligence, and facial recognition that George Orwell could only imagine.
Putin is trying to reassemble the Soviet Russian empire. Russian missiles destroy Ukrainian cities in a new form of genocide, Urbicide, the intentional destruction of cities, substantial parts of the Ukrainian nation. Putin orders imprisonment, poisoning, or murder of anyone who opposes him.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates finance and arm the Arab genocide in Sudan and across the African Sahel. They bomb Yemen. They finance jihadist conquests in Africa and the Middle East. They torture, murder and dismember their opponents. They reject religious freedom while controlling Islam's holiest shrines.
Turkey and Azerbaijan have invaded Syria, Iraq, and Armenia. They are trying to reestablish the Ottoman Empire. They commit genocide and forced deportation against Armenians, other Christians, and Kurds.
Iran sponsors Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists. Iran openly declares its genocidal intent to destroy Israel.
India's Modi and his BJP party are building a Hindutva state that will exclude Muslims and Christians from full Indian citizenship. India is classifying Muslims as non-citizens to deport them from Assam.
Many of America's founding fathers were White supremacists. Many of them owned slaves. The ideology of Manifest Destiny that gave White Europeans the justification for genocide by White settlers against Native Americans is a White supremacist ideology. The southern states maintained that official ideology with segregation and laws against miscegenation (marriage or sexual relations between races) into the 1960s.
Elon Musk grew up in South Africa at the height of Apartheid, a system of racial separation and exploitation that was only ended in the 1990s. Musk attended all White schools and adopted the racist attitudes of South Africa before he came to Canada and the USA.
Following in the footsteps of his father, Fred C. Trump, Donald Trump refused to rent to Black people in the apartment complexes The Trump Organization owned in New York City.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe White supremacy in America must be maintained. Both men fit the definition of Nazis.
Racism & White supremacy: 24 cabinet nominees: 20 white, 1 Black. Asylum for South African Whites. No asylum for African "shit hole countries." End diversity programs. Ban schoolbooks on slavery, segregation.
Nationalist xenophobia: Migrants are “criminals”, rapists, murderers, “invaders.” Expel them all.
Big Lie propaganda: "Ukraine started Russia's invasion." "Trump won the 2020 election."
Loyalty and obedience to authoritarian leader: Litmus test - "Trump won in 2020. Election was "stolen."
Imperial conquest as national destiny: Take Greenland, Gaza, Panama Canal. Make Canada 51st state.
Militarism & glorification of guns and war: 2nd Amendment = no gun control. Pardon US war criminals.
Religious intolerance: Ban abortions; no LGBTQ+ rights; no Trans medical care. Support Christian Nationalism that says America is a divinely ordained Christian nation. Exclude Muslims.
Male supremacy & women's oppression: Grab women's privates. Practice serial adultery. Appoint sexual predators to cabinet positions. Bring the sex trafficking Tate brothers to Florida to escape from Romanian justice. Drastically restrict women's reproductive rights by leaving abortion laws up to the states.
Contempt for democracy: Publicly bully Zelensky. Praise authoritarians like Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, Orban.
Contempt for judicial independence, law and human rights. Pardon 1500 Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol invaders.
Donald Trump is the only US President who has ever attempted a coup d'état.
Trump’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder drives his Big Lie that he really won the 2020 election. He is psychologically unable to admit he is a “loser.” ” In medical terms, Trump would almost certainly be diagnosed as a pathological narcissist and sociopath.
Trump has trapped the Republican Party into a cult of personality addicted to election denial.
The leaders of these racist, nationalist movements are the New Nazis.
Nationalism is racism on steroids.
The combination of racism and nationalism is at the heart of the New Nazism. It is the ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil that, when ignited by hatred, explodes into genocide.
We must fight this New Nazism.
We must reject Trump’s Darth Vader darkness.
We must become translucent channels for freedom’s light that still shines in America.
