Are the political parties of Fascism and Nazi the same?

Nazism is an offshoot of Fascism.\n\nFascism is the general group, like socialism or republicanism.\n\nAn extreme Socialist is a Communist.\nAn extreme Fascist is a Nazi.\n\nThat's probably the best way to describe it.

He is not a fascist, dirty or clean.  Fascists have followers.\n\nThere isn't a single fool who'll give him a Sieg Heil.

If we look to the current government in Germany, we see a something amazing taking place.  The Neo-Nazi political structure is gaining more ground with every election that takes place.  The last time I heard, the German political arena had 10% of its representatives under the Neo-Nazi party.  Why is this taking place, this day in age in Germany?  One answer, the people know that the Neo-Nazis in power will work to pass harder sanctions against the large influx of Middle Eastern immigrants coming into the Country.  These middle easterners are seen as a threat for increased chance of terrorism to take hold and shatter their way of life.  So, I guess if you are German, and afraid of losing a grip on your way of life the answer would be to join and support the Neo-Nazi party.\n\nHowever, in America, the idea of being a "Nazi" is nothing more than a representation of the ignorance within.  People who "claim" to be Nazi are just angry punks, wearing combat boots, beating up people who are "different" from them, but who don't wear the fancy robes that the Klan wear. \n\nIn both cases listed above, I think if you are a scared individual who still believes that people should be divided into different "races", and that you are in some way (insert laugh here) superior to those other "races" then by all means get yourself a pair of combat boots and call yourself a Nazi....

Neo-Nazis are called like that because they are 'New' Nazis (Nazis were followers or members of the 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei' = NSDAP of Adolf Hitler). The Germans call everybody a NEO NAZI that was born after the end of World War II, or the end of the Nazi Regime 1945, following the same political views as Adolf Hitler. The ideology behind 'Nazis' is called Fascism and is not at all limited to a political direction. Fascists are 'Nationalists' caring only for citizens of their own Nationality. They oppose immigration, homosexuality, arts, women's rights and intellectual thinkers. The individual means nothing, no civil rights are granted and is to serve the will of the leaders. George Orwell's 1984 is a very good book for that matter. The worst thing under a Fascist rule are 'Concentration Camps' in which all people end up that don't follow the leaders or don't reflect their vision of how things should be.

Offically no.  The Nazi party or anything like it is illegal in Germany now.  But, depite that there is an underground Nazi party still there.

NAZI cannot be associated with Republicans OR Socialists. NAZI does mean National Socialist party, but they are clearly NOT Marxist Socialists. They believe in a very limited degree of Socialism and GOVERNMENT control of almost all aspects of life (TOTALITARIANISM).\n\nRepublicans believe in limited Government and Laissez-Faire economics. NAZIs do not.\n\nSocialists are very wide ranging in their beliefs, but are not normally associated with fascism, racism, anti-semitism, and totalitarianism. In fact, Marx argued that if one had to use violence to achieve Socialism, then the country was not ready for Socialism and the ability to achieve it was lost.

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

"Nazis" are National Socialists. Search accordingly. Also, they don't call themselves "Neo-" anything; this is a media-appointed term. \n\nYou might also want to search under religous groups like the Church of the Piney Woods, or the Christian Identity Movement. I'm not making this up, sadly. There's lots of hate out there to keep an eye on - but you have to know where to look.

I'm not sure what the first one is, but I think the second one might be fascism

Check these out. It has almost reached the point of not bothering to vote, as with the Machines, so many ppl will be disenfranchised, only a Facist state could get away with it. God bless & help America. I'm not american but live next door and what ever happens in your country affects Canada as well.\n\nThe close relationship of fascist individuals and groups from the period of Nazi rule in Europe with the Republican Party.\n\nBoth Democrats and Republicans are corporate-controlled parties. However, the Republicans have a deeper historical involvement with fascist individuals and groups from World War 2, including former SS officers. When Nazi troops conquered the Eastern European countries, they found and nurtured fascist parties like the Romanian Iron Guard, Hungarian Arrow Cross, Croatian Ustashi, Bulgarian Legion, Latvian Legion, Byelorussian Belarus Brigade, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Cossack SS officers. These fascists helped the Nazis carry on their atrocities, such as the extermination of Jews, communists, Gypsies, disabled people and others considered to be undesirable. Also, they formed Waffen SS divisions to fight against the Soviet Union. \n\nThe Republican Heritage Groups Council, a part of the Republican National Committee, has had members like Laszlo Pasztor from the Hungarian Arrow Cross, Florian Galdau of the Romanian Iron Guard and Nicolas Nazarenko, the leader of a Cossack SS division. Other members include Walter Melianovich affiliated with the Belarus Brigade, Method Balco associated with Slovak fascists from their puppet Nazi government and Philip Guarino, an Italian fascist leader of the P-2 Masonic Lodge. After World War 2, this P-2 organization in cooperation with the CIA conducted a series of terrorist bombings in Italy (Operation Gladio), which were blamed on leftists. These incidents effectively diminished the stature of the Italian Communist Party, which was on the verge of winning elections. All of this information is in a well-documented book called Old Nazis, the New Right and the Republican Party by Russ Bellant. \n\nRemember when Republican President Ronald Reagan visited Bitburg cemetery in Germany, where Nazi SS troops were buried, and called them "victims" and stated that American soldiers who fought for the International Brigades in Spain were on the wrong side. Every once in a while, these people forget themselves and reveal where their true sympathies lie. \n\nA carefully kept secret is the strong sympathy and corporate connections that existed between many of the most powerful American capitalists and German capitalists and their fascist system. Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil of New Jersey had close patent and other ties to I.G. Farben, the giant German corporation that used slave labor at Auschwitz. Standard Oil delivered oil to the Nazis through Switzerland and Spain and even refueled German submarines at Teneriffe in the Canary Islands. At the back of a book called Trading With the Enemy by Charles Higham is a photocopy of an intelligence document from an American officer complaining about this refueling operation and the presence of Nazi officers on Standard's oil tankers. Standard Oil also made tetraethyl lead and synthetic rubber available to the Nazis. Tetraethyl lead is an essential ingredient in aviation gasoline. Standard Oil was investigated several times by Congressional committees for trading with the enemy, but they were too powerful for anything substantive to be done. Chase Bank, also owned by Rockefeller, stayed open in Paris all during the war and helped finance the Nazis. \n\nRockefeller is far from alone in this collaboration with the Nazis. Both Henry Ford and Edsel Ford were great admirers of fascism, and Ford built trucks and armored cars for the Nazis in France. General Motors, owned by the DuPont family, manufactured tanks and the aircraft engines for the Junkers bombers at the Adam-Opel plant in Russelsheim,Germany. ITT supplie

There is a terrible stench coming from the Labour party these days, they are corrupt and have become the antithesis of what they were created to be.\n\nBanning opposition political parties! isn't that the kind of thing Stalin or Hitler would do? Then they have the gall to call Nick Griffin a Nazi...

Actually they fit the definition of a Fascist: Fascism is a radical authoritarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, totalitarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism.\n\n\n"The modern American conservative comes in many different flavors, but can generally be categorized in one of three ways: social, fiscal and foreign policy conservatism. Certainly these are very general categories, but almost any issue can fit into at least of the three. Social conservatives believe in traditional family values, the protection of innocent life and support religious tolerance. They typically oppose legal abortion and support tough crime laws that provide for punishment before rehabilitation. Fiscal/economic conservatives believe in limited government intrusion when it comes to economic matters and generally support the private sector vice the government when it comes to providing for economic prosperity. They fight for low/no taxes and limited regulation of businesses. They put their faith in the free market and they generally oppose the redistribution of wealth. Foreign policy conservatives, sometimes called hawks, see the value of having a strong military even during peacetime and support the right of a nation to defend itself. Their view of the world is such that they believe there are times when military power is needed to suppress and defeat Some also believe in the proactive spread of democracy around the world. Most recently, the term neocon has been used to describe President Bush's preemptive war on Iraq. Generally speaking, conservatives see a clear line between good and evil, right and wrong. They tend to not believe in moral relativism, which can be seen in their support of directly confronting threats both domestic (criminals) and international (terrorists, adversarial nations or organizations). Its important to note that the three are not mutually exclusive - a conservative can believe in any part or all of the three. Neoconservatives believe in all three. Neoconservatism is the intersection of economic, social and foreign policy conservatism. We are true conservatives in that we believe in all aspects of conservatism - social, economic and foreign policy."

Sorry but all of you are mistaken. Hitler and Nazism are often wrongly described as far rightist leader and party. Such assertion has been repeatedly used by the communists to diabolize right wing parties an other of their opponents in numerous countries. Read carefully on Hitler and Nazism and you will learn that Hitler, and a dozen of fellows he met first in 1919 in a café, founded the National Socialist Deutch Arbeit Partei (NSDAP) which once translated in English means German National Socialist Workers Party. Once he got German Chancelor Hitler enacted compulsory work for everybody, he asked Ferdinand Porsche to build the Volkswagen Beetle (literally translated in English Volkswagen means "people's car") and as far as I read in history books relating to this period nothing has never been done by Hitler and his regime to promote capitalism or anything akin to right wing ideology. The only true fact is that Hitler expressed hatred toward communists, and it is certainly for this reason that in return the communists said of the Nazis that they belong to the conservative right wing. \nBut Hitler cannot be described as conservative too. He changed everything in Germany, which was until his coming up on the political stage a capitalist and conservative country.

The correct term for them is marxist.  I've heard Horowitz refer to them as neo-communists, but that doesn't really capture their essence, and neither does socialist.  The problem here is today's marxists don't even have a cogent plan for their particular implementation of marxism....just some vague agenda for destroying the United States and democracy in the world in the interests of "social justice".  However, just like all of the previous children of marxist thought......national socialism (nazism), socialism and communism, progressives and liberals are really all about genocide.  What they want.  What they support.  What they ALWAYS support, is nothing less than the murder of hundreds of millions of innocent people.  That really is all that marxism is about, when you pair it down to its essence.  It is the one repeating pattern that ties all of these people (including all liberals) and their behavior together.  It's their goal.  And it is a good reason to seriously consider rounding up and jailing the lot of them.

Leniin's political party was called Communism, it was socialism, but a branch from the main stem like several other varieties of economic systems...It was the Communist party which was socialist in origin...socialism is not a political party, but an economic system
