dpberr Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Honest question here - I'm having a hard time figuring out how 1800s United States Confederacy and 1930s European Fascism have any relation to one another. Aren't they pretty much the opposite of one another? Is there any historical or legitimate connection whatsoever between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There might be a few things in common, but there is really nothing huge to tie the Confederacy on to 1930s Facism. That is if you want to think and try to convince anyone else with an IQ over 50. f you want to just mouth off on the internet then you can say whatever you like, but nobody will talk to you.

DC Tom Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 They have no relation of any sort that I can think of. And I've studied that era of history fairly extensively. National Socialism and the Confederacy have a similarity in agrarianism (including the use of slave labor), but even that's a very superficial similarity - National Socialism did so almost exclusively out of bull **** racial and "noble peasantry" theory, whereas the Confederacy's was born far more from economic necessity of a landed aristocracy.

No, they were both extreme racists and were not afraid to say so. That's the connection. the economic necessity argument is so lame. Most southern s were not slaveholders but supported white supremacy to the death. And btw, that economic argument of yours basically makes the point that capitalism fuels racism, a Marxist point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 When it was over, Lincoln reinstituted those who pledged allegiance to the United States of America. Mussolini was shot and then left in the public square and defecated on and then strung up for a week in the square.

Tiberius Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 On 5 June 1934, about a year and half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the centrepiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to take down a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals a startling fact: the meeting involved lengthy discussions of the law of the United States of America. At its very opening, the Minister of Justice presented a memorandum on US race law and, as the meeting progressed, the participants turned to the US example repeatedly. They debated whether they should bring Jim Crow segregation to the Third Reich. They engaged in detailed discussion of the statutes from the 30 US states that criminalised racially mixed marriages. They reviewed how the various US states determined who counted as a ‘Negro’ or a ‘Mongol’, and weighed whether they should adopt US techniques in their own approach to determining who counted as a Jew. Throughout the meeting the most ardent supporters of the US model were the most radical Nazis in the room. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-the-nazis-studied-american-race-laws-for-inspiration-2017-2 That's not a relation, it's a SIMILARITY.
