THE EFFORT TO LINK CONSERVATIVES WITH FASCISTS KEEPS BUBBLING UP IN “LIBERAL” DISCOURSE…..JONAH GOLDBERG’S BOOK “Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning” is an excellent treatment of this subject……rsk
The debate about where Nazism should be placed on the political spectrum has enjoyed a renaissance of late. The answer is so obvious that we really needn’t have bothered

Okay, let’s pause for a minute, note the above title, and have a collective ‘face palm’ over how absurd it is that this article even needs to be written in the first place. But it does.

This debate has never gone away of course; but recent weeks have been something of a renaissance – largely thanks to the bizarre suspension (and eventual – and sensible – reinstatement) of Dr. Rachel Frosh from the Conservative Party candidate list due to a retweet linking Nazism to socialism.

This rather embarrassing affair is in fact a sad and clear indictment that the words ‘never again’ are little more than a hollow slogan. For if we refuse to accept, and more importantly challenge, the ideological origins of a movement that culminated in the systematic murder of millions of innocent human beings, there is absolutely no way we can prevent the same from happening again.

The easiest way of proving that the origins of Nazism are in no way remotely conservative is to start by looking at some defining features of conservatism itself, specifically the European variety.

These include: the belief that a society rooted in monarchy and aristocracy is preferable to mass democracy; that there is a transcendental moral order (what Kirk called the Permanent Things) which in Western Civilization has been preserved and passed down through the Christian Church; that property rights are the very foundation of ordered liberty; and, of course, the universal conservative belief that any necessary societal change must occur slowly and without structural damage to ancient and proven institutions – that problems in society come not from broken traditions and institutions but from broken men and morals.

Chavez isn’t dead, they profess. So where is he then?

After a flurry of rumour over the past few days, the Chavistas are out in force again, proclaiming for all to hear, “Chavez isn’t dead!”

So where is he then?

It was reported that Chavez recently returned to Venezuela, wherein he resumed normal Twitter activity. No, seriously.

This, apparently, is proof enough for a man to remain President, even though he hasn’t been sworn in again since he recent re-election. Opposition figures (naturally, you might add) have raised questions over the constitutionality of the matter.

But Reuters reports that Chavez’s henchmen are ‘mocking’ the reports of his demise, a statement that in fact came from the reliable, former ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Guillermo Cochez.

Never, of course, would I callously wish death upon anyone who had not brought it upon themselves (clarifying, for those of you who’ll no doubt critique my defence of tackling terrorism) – but at the same time, it strikes me that Venezuela as a democratic state has been under assault for very many years by Chavez and his thugs, and the demise of even a pretence of democracy is upon us in the country.

It’s a shame that at such a critical time, all Chavez’s yes-men can do is “mock” those concerned for Venezuela.

It was reported yesterday how the ‘shouty triumvirate’ of Mehdi Hasan, Seumus Milne and Jeremy Corbyn MP were tag-teaming up for a debate at the Cambridge Union entitled, “This House Regrets the Consequences of U.S. Dominance”.

But in an apparently not unpredictable turn of events, Mehdi Hasan, Political Editor for the Huffington Post UK site who is famed for his disparaging comments about non-Muslims and atheists, failed to show.

When quizzed by The Commentator’s Executive Editor on Twitter, Hasan wasted no time jumping into insults, proclaiming, “Some trolls want to know why I wasn’t at Cambridge union tonight. Simple answer: I never agreed to do it. Union made mistake in term card.”

Sources at the Cambridge Union Society however, beg to differ. In fact, it is particularly unlike the Cambridge Union, the oldest and arguably most august student debating institution in the country, to make a ‘mistake’ in the term card.

Sources tell The Commentator that it is apparently not the first time that Hasan has failed to show for a debate at Cambridge.

Hasan’s reported refusal to debate makes him the second prominent Left-wing figure in just one week to avoid a public debate, coming hot on the heels of George Galloway’s hasty exit from Oxford University last week.

Hasan remains on the term card at the time of publication.
