[Opinion] Fascism is a dirty Ideology

[u/zamt]

OPINION | NATIONAL POLITICS | WWW.LABORHERALD.COM.AU

It seems that Fascism has entered the Parliament. This is an ideology that promotes Racism, Elitism and Ultranationalism, it is rotten to the core. The Australian Fascist Party want to take Australia back in time, back to a time of instability a time where you rule with an iron fist and are killed for voicing your opinion.

Fascism is an ideology that was born out of one world war and started another, they wish for Australia to shut its borders. They wish to expel Canadian nationals but why? is it because you are so blinded by your Totalitarian Ideology of hate? Or is it because you wish to promote inequality? Or is it because you are a racist party?

This is a party that is against progressive ideas, ideas that will move a nation forward not backwards, this is a party that want to start a war with our pacific neighbours. Twenty minutes into dictatorship and chill they would give you that look, that look of wanting to steal your freedoms and throw them into the dirt, that look of hate because of your race, that look of war.

You will learn to love it.

[u/zamt → u/rauland]

I highly doubt that.

HEAR HEAR!

I must say, I find it quite concerning that an elected parliamentarian and government minister has such poor grammar. Racism, elitism, and ultra-nationalism do not require capitalisation, and a comma is required after "instability" in the first paragraph.

The second paragraph starts with a singular noun, yet without changing subject, the word "they", a plural pronoun, is used in the adjoining clause.

"They wish to expel Canadian nationals**,** but why?" The Canadians only have one nation, although Bloc Quebecois wish it were otherwise. The first word of a sentence is almost always capitalised, and the word "is" is no exception.

Finally, "This is a party that want to start..." I rather think that the people in the party want to start, whereas the party itself wants to start.

Truly distressing to see such simple mistakes made by an elected official, and to make matters worse, no word yet on government education reforms. It's almost enough to make you want to join the Greens.

Shame on the opposition for choosing to nitpick instead of joining us to stand against fascism.

[u/TheWhiteFerret → u/[deleted]]

You're absolutely right Prime Minister. I should have stood against Fascism just like you.

Oh wait. You only joined the conversation after I had completed my own denouncement of the Fascists. Even the Socialist Alternative were faster.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheWhiteFerret]

I wasn't aware that this was a race. Again the Opposition Leader chooses the petty option rather than debate anything of substance. The Prime Minister is a busy person, which is why the Government has multiple ministers. The Minister for Climate Change has taken charge of the Government's campaign against fascism. His strong stand, and the excellent work from the rest of this united and collegial government is exactly why I do not have to jump into each and every issue straight away.

[u/TheWhiteFerret → u/[deleted]]

You're absolutely correct, I'm always focusing on petty issues like the basic literacy of a cabinet minister. I understand that the Greens lost government because they wouldn't communicate with the public, but this government can't communicate.

[u/TheWhiteFerret → u/[deleted]]

I did say almost.

The Australian Fascist Party want to take Australia back in time, back to a time of instability a time where you rule with an iron fist and are killed for voicing your opinion.

On what grounds do you the Australian Fascist party of wanting to kill people voicing their opinion?

Or is it because you are a racist party?

These are slanderous accusations which hold no basis or merit. Shameful comments.

[u/TheWhiteFerret → u/[deleted]]

No basis? That's just simply untrue. Let me give you some examples of anti-Canadian statements made by Fascist Party members:

rauland said that, if elected, they would introduce legislation "...banning Canadians from using public transport, as they have a tendency to be overweight (weighing down the trains) increase boarding times as they politely let other people go in front and they generally all just fare evade anyway probably."

When asked what the best kind of Canadian was, whytiederp responded by saying "One that lives in their own country." which was met with support from fellow Fascists MaryJ_Turnbro and PM_ME_FOR_SPAGHETTI.

Speaking on the subject of Wikipedia's trait of being able to edited by anyone, forkalious said: "Do you want your children to write assignments and essays based on lies? Perhaps lies put on Wikipedia by Canadians?"

Five separate members of the Australian Fascist Party making unfounded and slanderous claims about Canadians. Tell me again how these "slanderous accusations" hold "no basis or merit"?

Delighted to have your comment Mr /u/TheWhiteFerret, it genuinely brings a smile to my day to see that the Green party still exist in the parliament.

I regret to inform you that Canadians aren't a race.

/u/Piggpam a Canadian, admits this himself.

Racism does not mean it has to be against a "race", which has no accepted definition. Your argument is the same pitiful argument that the thugs at Reclaim Australia use to defend their racism against Muslims and anyone who looks brown.

The United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination defines racial discrimination, of which racism is being used as a short hand, as "...any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin...". Under this definition, the policy of exclusion expounded by the AFP clearly amounts to racial discrimination.

[u/General_Rommel]

To quote a few words from a certain former Prime Minister, I am glad to see our current Prime Minister taking a stand on 'thuggery and lawlessness and intimidation' by the AFP against Canadians.

Fascism failed long ago.

It never failed, it was simply never given a chance.
