    Edward Snowden Retweeted

    The critical axis of politics is liberty versus authority, as fascism comes from both Hitler and Mao. Look first to regard for human life. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/896868239128616962 …

        Fascism comes from Mussolini. Hitler was a socialist. Also, Mao was a communist autocrat. Seems like Moscow devoided you of history lessons.

        He took the name 'socialism' for his benefit. If you can identify the aesthetics of socialism he took, then please educate me.

        No, he took the name socialist because Hitler was a socialist. He fought in the Great War and experienced warfare first hand.

        What do you mean "aesthetics of socialism"? Aesthetics don't apply here...National Socialist party was founded on socialist fundaments.

        You don't know what "socialism" is. You must be American.

        Authoritarian is right-wing and direct democracy is left-wing, what you're referring to is authoritarian socialism which is not left-wing.

        I put it this way far right-wing is absolute monarchy/dictatorship and far left-wing is direct democracy they are polar opposites.

        The narrative you're referring to is exactly that a narrative where the so called moderate centre is actually rule by debt slavery or banks.

        They are actually trying to herd people into the middle between left or right one being Hitler the other being Stalin to defeat resistance.

        It's all about the 99% being ruled by the !% as either left or right-wing rulers corporatism as national or state socialism.

        It plays into an illusion of democracy between left and right politicians who are in reality preventing democracy from being established.

        Their power is control of the money supply/creation being able to create any amount of money to eliminate any threat to their control.

        Too bad most people in America could hardly tell you who Mao was, much less what he did. The power balance is not equal between right/left.

        Amen to this. Mao freed millions from slavery and feudalism, a true hero that no rat US president could hold a candle to.

        "Fascism comes from both Hitler and Mao." You may need to lay off horseshoe theory. It's bad for your brain.
