just questioning a definition political exile has used in the past, calling the USSR a fascist zionist state, and israel one by definition. i was merely pointing out an incongruity in an argument pertaining to the nature of both the government (past and roesent) of Russia who were the sovereigns of the USSR, and israel, which for the majority of its existance for the first quater of her life was run by socialists. fascism is such an ugly term to be assosciated with. not that socialism is any better.
In ideological terms:
Fascism is loss of individual rights for a center power and thus considered similar to the classic Monarchy, which is the usual reference for the Right.
Communism is the gain of individual rights and a move away from central power, it is usually the reference for the Left.
Socialism can be Fascist or Communist.
We really have to judge the USSR on what we know about it's legal foundation which was a representative democracy with tiers of representation. In other words the USSR Constitution was not structured to have direct from the individual elections, it was very similar to the late Czarist system of having electoral bodies and representatives with different actual levels of representation.
That is the actual USSR law and the basic theories of left and right.
However, in fact, in actual practice, the leaders of the USSR, such as Lenin, made public speeches calling for terrorism of the public in general, what could be termed a form of anarchy of the state. A terrorist rule of the supreme dictator Lenin who violated all the USSR constitution laws to enact a reign of very centralized almost fascist Monarchial system of terror.
In complete evaluation, the USSR was a Fascist Anarchy.
What makes this so damaging to the ethics of Israel, is that it was founded, advocated, supported, back with military hardware, by the biggest Fascist State of the 20th cent.
Fascism is central power. Lenin set up the system of the Gulags which killed 21 million Caucasians before WW II even started. When we look at Lenin, Stalin or Kaganovich, we see a very centralized (Fascist) form of power.
Israel was first legally recognized by the most fascist nation (Lenin, Stalin, Kaganovich) series of absolute dictators of the 20th century.
What makes a Fascist Dictator bigger than another fascist dictator? We must determine how much control he had. How many people around him and of the public, the individuals we were talking of up above, did he kill in order to stay in power?
Lenin of the USSR set up the Gulags concentration camps which killed 21 million before 1940.
Hitler of Germany set up the Holocaust concentration camps killed 6 million before 1945.
The USSR is therefore more Fascist than Germany was, if we define fascism as killing off the individuals of your nation to assume absolute centralized dictatorial power.
Israel was advocated, recognized and supported by a nation, the USSR, that was by definintion, three times as fascist as Nazi Germany.
What does this mean for Israel?
It means the world knows who set up Israel and what those people were like. I means that Israel has to stop with it's gulags and concentration camps of the Palestinians.
It means Humanity is watching and Israel has to clean up it's act.
