"Forget about using labels Left and Right; it's a distraction."

Again

Tells people not to use labels, constantly harps in about "the left"

🙄

Hitler wasn't a left winger by any standards, never mind modern and if there's any comparable line to be drawn between him an Stalin is that both were totalitarian dictators who weren't shy about knocking off undesirables en masse. But that's about where it ends. Both men were very different and they regimes the headed were quite different too.

You appear to be desperately trying to trying to link Fascism to Marxism, which is ludicrous to anyone that's actually spent a bit of time studying it. Fascism/Nazisim arose as an answer to rising left wing European Socialism. It wasn't "seeded" from it as a natural offshoot of the same thing, which is how you are trying to frame it. It was borne from a desire to oppose it. Both ideologies were created to combat Marxism, Socialism and Communism. But they weren't something that was in step with it in any way and its wellspring was from conservatism, especially in the case of Hitler and the NSDAP who were wholly desirous of conserving Germanic traditions, albeit under a Nationalistic revolution.

As to whether both men were "collectivists" means nothing. Most countries were/are collectivist to a degree. None are completely based on individualism. That type of a society just doesn't exist. Britain during the war was probably just as "collectivist" as Germany was, both that doesn't mean that both nations were the exact same.

But I would argue that Hitler was more of a "Nationalist" rather than a "Collectivist" and in actual fact was pretty in favour of privatisation where he thought fit which further puts a dent in that idea. In the 1930's he went about reversing a number of industries that had been nationalised under the Weimar Republic as a response to the 1929 crash. Even during the war, they never took full control over the nation's industry. The likes of Heinkel and Messerschmitt remained in private hands, for instance, when they could have been fully nationalised. They had to compete with other firms for contracts and retained their individual power to run its business as it saw fit.

You really do have a hard time with comparisons, don't you.

The one thing I always thought was a bit odd was Neil announcing his "break" near the end of June and then, within a couple of weeks, Farage arriving on board. And always the question in the back of my mind, why wasn't Farage there to begin with? Whether he does return or not, it's always seemed obvious to me that Farage has been a big sticking point between Neil and other senior figures at the station. Basically, Neil wanted nothing to do with him, but was overruled after initially getting his way and is now in a big sulk and not likely to ever come back. Just my $0.02 anyway.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

There's a reason why Johnson wanted to give Paul Dacre (Former Daily Mail Editor) the head job at OffCom and why even though an interview board rejected him, he's still in the hunt apparently.

You see theres your problem you seem to think fox news is journalism while by their own admission they are an entertainment channel. Why would Neil who as you say has a weight of journalistic experience stick around if it was to become an entertainment channel?

Why doesn't he retweet when the figures are shìt, which is most days?

Why would people give a shìt about him wearing a manky green/brown coat?

You're seriously just posting any old shìte now.

People only get outraged about coats when there's a left wing politician the papers have to smear. Farage wearing a big heavy coat while presenting a show in a studio would just be....weird.

And this has what to do with GB "news" and it's shìt ratings?

You're like a parody of the station right now, nothing substantial to talk about so just waffling on to fill the long minutes.
