bin Laden has talked about restoring the Caliphate, the empire that existed in the southern Mediterranean centuries ago. That is nothing–it’s deranged, but essentially it is a vision of a totalitarian empire with him leading under some kind of perver…

I point this out because of the inherent irony regarding the name of the organization/newspaper. I’m sure that these guys are trying to get the support of fellow progressives around Europe to fight “fascism”, but unfortunately for them, the “Socialist Workers Party” is banned in Germany. Can you guess why?

The biggest charge I continually see is that it is intense nationalism, and Escrow repeated this call. Were the Soviets not nationalistic? Are the North Koreans not nationalistic? Are the French, Canadians, Israelis, Japanese, Swiss, Danish, Germans, etc. not nationalistic? Yeah, so we’re obviously all fascists then.

And from the link you provided is the following:

The theory that Communism and fascism were twins was developed to justify the Cold War.

WTF? My grandfather used to tell me of how the world viewed events when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union. It was a battle between two socialist ideologies to see which one would dominate the 20th Century. Mussolini had fascism and Hitler adapted fascism into Nazism. I suppose, according to the linked article, my grandfather must have changed his mind after the Cold War started and there’s this great conspiracy that re-wrote every last history book, letter, etc.

And maybe, Jimmy, Escrow decided to write his post after reading that inane article.
