"Don Trump Jr. Calls Democratic Party 'The Real Nazis' After Watching D'Souza's Mess"
Okay, so let's look at what the Nazi Party platform of 1920 was:
- Unification of Greater Germany (Austria + Germany)
- Land + expansion
- Anti-Versailles - abrogation of the Treaty.
- Land and territory - lebensraum.
- Only a "member of the race" can be a citizen.
- Anti-semitism - No Jew can be a member of the race.
- Anti-foreigner - only citizens can live in Germany.
- No immigration - ref. to Jews fleeing pograms.
- Everyone must work.
- Abolition of unearned income - "no rent-slavery".
- Nationalisation of industry
- Divison of profits
- Extension of old age welfare.
- Land reform
- Death to all criminals
- German law, not Roman law (anti- French Rev.)
- Education to teach "the German Way"
- Education of gifted children
- Protection of mother and child by outlawing child labour.
- Encouraging gymnastics and swimming
- Formation a national army.
- Duty of the state to provide for its volk.
- Duty of individuals to the state
Points 1 through 4, 16 and 21 are specific to Germany's concerns
at the time.
Points 5 through 8, 15, 17 and 23 sound just like the Trump Administration today.
9 through 14, 18 to 20 and 22 okay, these sound like items Democrats could agree with. Not so sure about point 11, though. Some nationalization would be good, but lots of Democrats are strong believers in capitalism. 22 is also pretty much straight socialsm. Not really sure either 10 or 12 survived very long then or would survive under Democrats today. Michelle Obama would especially approve of 20.
It's a pretty mixed bag. Certainly Democrats would agree with some of the values expressed, but Don Jr. sounds as though he's citing a very one-sided version and doesn't have enough historical knowledge to really make careful distinctions.
