As such they espoused militaristic organization,collectivism, violence, the leader-cult and contempt for individual liberties and civil rights. The main differences between them and the NSDAP were the issues of race and state control of the means of production. They fought each other but Stalin thought that a Nazi regime was preferable to Weimar and would be a stepping stone a socialist revolution. Care to dispute any of this?<BR/> A sizeable percentage of the Brownshirts(SA) were ex-commies. Up until the Roehm putsch in 1935 there was doubt as to which way the Nazis would turn. Many still believed in the Socialist part of NSDAP. Here's an excellent article on the similarties between these two groups.<BR/><BR/>http://www.people.carleton.edu/~dprowe/FascBrown.htmlmakaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699570695932874609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-69655155104065219792008-02-17T21:37:00.000-05:002008-02-17T21:37:00.000-05:00"Right, so they weren't really opposed to Franco a..."Right, so they weren't really opposed to Franco at all.

The problem with you lefist troglodytes is a gross inability to reason and argue a point without resorting to childish and ineffective distortions. Here's so that even a simpleton like you, who obviously has never read a serious book on the Spanish Civil war, can understand. The left in Spain was never really able to put together a united fighting front and this was one of the contributing factors of Franco's victory. Care to dispute this? This a report from the socialist worker corresponent in 1936.<BR/><BR/>"The disunity of method, organisation and object of the Spanish workers are important<BR/>from another point of view. We may readily grant, with Marx, that workers seeking<BR/>democracy have an interest in striving, as well as the capitalists, to overthrow<BR/>military, Monarchical or autocratic Government, but Marx certainly never envisaged a<BR/>situation in which not only were the workers' groups bitterly hostile to each other, but<BR/>many of them (in Spain possibly a majority) are not aiming at democracy at all,<BR/>having no inclination for it. Should the Communists or Trotskyites gain power they<BR/>would, as in Russia, promptly and ruthlessly suppress democracy, and along with it<BR/>the Labourites, Syndicalists and Anarchists. The latter two groups, whatever<BR/>Government is in power, will continue to do their utmost by strikes, sabotage, and<BR/>even assassination, to destroy it, even at the cost of producing chaos."makaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699570695932874609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-47430768028215630352008-02-17T20:24:00.000-05:002008-02-17T20:24:00.000-05:00Sir Charles, Govenor!
