  • Fascist or Republican?

    I have a number of qualms with the standard american conservative ideology despite my far right wing beliefs; qualms which cause me to still consider myself a fascist though, with respect to american politics, i vote the Republican party line.

    Firstly, I am not religious. I'm somewhat agnostic so all the American conservative appeals to religion do not appeal to me. social conservatism does, but not for religious reasons. I think of religion as an opiate for the weak and much rather prefer an existentialist philosophy, chiefly Nietzscheanism.

    Also, I am not opposed to social programs, I favour a Keynesian fiscal policy, favour a strong federal gov't especially with respect to security and defence, am nationalistic though pro-immigration, believe in an aggressive, unilateral foreign policy, and so on. i mostly agree with the fascist policies and even am partial to such fascist nuances as liking futurist, expressionist, and surrealist art (Salvdor Dali), monumental modernist architecture, and so on.

    some liberals and old school conservatives like Pat Buchanan claim that the neoconservative fiscal and foreign policy and pro-big gov't stance are reminiscent of fascism. Could it be that the GOP is truly going fascist (which would fit with my political beliefs) or am i still going to have to support a party I don't wholly agree with?

    What do you mean, OR?
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        Not my GOP.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          Too many religious fundies running the right for them to become Fascists.

          But they're well on their way to becoming something worse....

            Yes, your GOP, though it isn't totally lost yet. If you "moderates" put up a fight, you might be able to hold on. Throw the Christian right out of the party.

              Guess not.

                Wait... you like socially conservativism and like Nietzscheanism?

                      I kind of thought that he was just a somewhat authoritarian conservative and not a full-blown fascist.

                          Yes, yes... but even with the irrationality of Fascists, it's kind of strange. Nietszche is the last person to embrase social conservatism.

                              Maybe not, but that didn't stop them from embracing him, albeit because of his twisted sister.
