148950
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism\n\nFascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.\n\n2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights \n\nBecause of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.\n\n3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause\n\nThe people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. \n\n4. Supremacy of the Military\n\nEven when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.\n\n5. Rampant Sexism\n\nThe governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.\n\n6. Controlled Mass Media\n\nSometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.\n\n7. Obsession with National Security\n\nFear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.\n\n8. Religion and Government are Intertwined\n\nGovernments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.\n\n9. Corporate Power is Protected\n\nThe industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.\n\n10. Labor Power is Suppressed\n\nBecause the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. \n\n11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts\n\nFascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.\n\n12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment\n\nUnder fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations\n\n13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption\n\nFascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. \n\n14. Fraudulent Elections\n\nSometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries

Big question.  I'll try the first part:  Adolf Hitler, Senator Robert Byrd and his former employer the KKK, Joseph Stalin...  Now for some of the living who agree with the extermination of Jews - US Democratic Party, Hamas, Islam, etc.

Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.  Republicans are pro gun anti abortion.  Democrats are anti gun, pro abortion.  Other than that it's all talk and smoke and infighting, they both serve their corporate masters.  When it comes to screwing over the working class and slowly taking away our freedoms it is bipartisan.

Yes, Republicans, not all, but most of the powerful ones have \n               much in common with Communists.\n1. They both like wars and hate it when wars come to an end.\n2. They like repeating, repeating themselves.\n3. They just love secrets, secrets make them feel cuddly.\n4. They like to go on golfing trips to Ireland? Go figure!\n5. They can't balance a budget.\n6.  And finally, just before elections, they produce lots of gas.

Republican Party, one of the two major United States political parties, founded by a coalition in 1854. The coalition was composed of former members of the Whig, Free-Soil, and Know-Nothing parties, along with Northern Democrats who were dissatisfied with their party’s conciliatory attitude on the slavery issue (see Free-Soil Party; Know-Nothings; Whig Party). The early Republicans were united in their opposition to extending slavery into the Western territories. In 1856 they nominated John Charles Frémont for the presidency. He won about a third of the popular vote, but alienated many potential supporters by his failure to oppose immigration.\n\n*******************************\n\nDemocratic Party, one of the two main political parties of the United States. Its origins can be traced to the coalition formed behind Thomas Jefferson in the 1790s to resist the policies of George Washington’s administration. This coalition, originally called the Republican, and later the Democratic-Republican Party, split into two factions during the presidential campaign of 1828. One, the National Republican Party, was absorbed into the Whig Party in 1834; the other became the Democratic Party.

In the 1930s, It used to be that Nazi was a nice way of saying facist, that was until WWI. Republican used to be a nice way of saying conservative.   Today, as mainstream conservative behavior and policies approach facism the more conservative a Republican is, the closer they are to being a facist. \n\nUnless they speak German and are about 100 years old, they are most likely not Nazis but Facism is still as bad as it ever was.

Hitler's government was Nazism or National Socialist. Fascism is the combining of corporations and government. So you could say we are heading towards fascism. Now before anybody attacks me for this answer, give me one law that has been passed by our government that benefits we the people not he benefit of corporations. Good luck on that!\nHere's a post that I had posted earlier on Yahoo answers. \n Lets look at the similarities between Bush and Hitler. Both were elected/selected, Bush by the Supreme Court and Hitler when Hindenburg died. They both had terrorist attacks on their country, Bush 9/11 and Hitler the Reichstag's fire. Both ignored warning of the impending attacks. Both have/had conspiracy theories about thier involvement. Both blamed foreign ideologues. Both made speeches right afterwords. Within weeks Bush had the Patriot Act and Hitler had his "Decree on the Protection of People and State". Both had a 4 year sunset provision put on them to get them passed. Both had protesters arrested or put in free speech zones away from the place where they were appearing. Both use the word Homeland to describe the nation. Both claim/claimed to be Christian. Both formed a new agency to consolidate various independent police, intelligence and border agencies together. Bush got Homeland Security and Hitler got the Central Security Office. Both have an SS, Bush has the Secret Service as a National Police Force and Hitler had the SchutzStaffel. Both had detention camps built. Both attacked coutries that hadn't attacked them. Both brought in industry and forged an alliance, and they got former executives of the nation's biggest companies into government positions. Both use government to empower corporations and reward the society's richest individuals, privatize much of the commons, stifle dissent, strip people of constitutional rights, and create an illusion of prosperity through continual and ever-expanding war. \nHistory seems to be repeating!

Republican = personal responsibility and meritocracy\n\nDemocrat = nanny-state, mediocrity, wealth redistribution (everyone is equally poor) and victim class

Both parties are the same and neither care about your interests. It's the unfortunate truth. Both parties run on the same platforms, socially and economically. The Republicans are in bed with big business and hurt the country for their gain, the Democrats are in bed with unions and special interests. Vote Nationalist.

Democratic Party.   We did not start an illeagel war, spy on domestic Americans, shred the First Amendment Rights, or torture prisoners. \nWe don't suscribe to a belief that the ends justify the means.

50 years ago the people in the Republican party would nowadays be Democrats....and vice versa.\n\nThey all switch sides and flip flop.  All politicans are scumbags.

Actually, due to the treaty of Versailles, post WWI Germany was susceptible to many forms of totalitarianism.  There were communist, socialist as well as the group that finally won out, the National Socialist.  While the Nazis sounds like a left leaning organization, they were in fact a right leaning fascist party.  In fact, the Germans had units fighting in Spain, during the Spanish Civil war fighting for Franco and his group.

ROUND OF APPLAUSE for this man! Finally, someone besides me has figured out that Republicans = Nazis.\n\nFrightening, is it not, that the Govt currently holding power has so much in common with Nazism. My favorite quote is from Hitler: "What good fortune for Government that the People do not think." Brainwash the masses with religeon, and govt will follow. If you read Hitler's book, you'll see that he actually modelled the Nazi party on the Church, and used religeous ceremony under cover of darkness to hypnotize the masses into believeing the crap he preached.

i'm going to attempt to answer this unbiasedly.\n\nthe simplest explanation i ever heard of the difference between the parties is that the republican party believes that the government is more important than the people (or a group of people or an individual), while the democratic party believes that the people are more important than the government.\n\nexamples:\nrepublican party believes in: pro-life, ban on gay marriage, pro big business (against unions, higher minimum wage, basically they are for anything that makes businesses more efficient and moneymaking for the company as a whole, with little regard for the employees), for capital punishment, lower taxes, smaller government (no social programs at all such as welfare or social security), bigger military, against affirmative action, for public displays of religion (as long as its christianity), tend to put much less emphasis on protecting rights and liberties such as freedoms of speech, expression, assembly, etc., and more along those lines.\n\nthe democratic party believes: pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, bigger social government (raises in government spending on welfare, education, social security, public services such as police and fire departments, etc.), drastic cuts in military, anti-big business (very pro-union and believe in protecting workers even at a corporation's expense), pro-affirmative action, anti-public displays of religion, against capital punishment, puts a much greater emphasis on protecting citizens rights with regard to free speech, religion, etc., and more along those lines.\n\nhope that helps.
