Just because the media has slandered him as a Nazi does not make him so. Just like calling Bernie a Communist does not make him one.

for that comparison to make any sense, there would be the need for....

1) a lively communist or even stalinist youth scene inside the US.....

2) creating their own online universe on popular places like 4chan and spreading their thoughts successfully

3) becoming more influential through co-opting an existing high-traffic website, which gets even bigger and more influential through doubling down on the stalinist thingie.

4) that website would be run by Bernie Sanders who fostered those stalinists and made way for ideologial more pure people than himself.


i am not saying that Bannon is a Nazi - i am saying he is not too much disturbed by parts of the Nazi agenda and has no problems at all making big bucks with Nazis and creating a safe space for them.

[ApatheticAustrian]

No. To be honest, the idea that Bannon is an actual Nazi is so ludicrous it doesn't even deserve a comment at all, actually.

i feel like apologizing to you now, that i didn't realize your troll-y intentions before election day.

[ApatheticAustrian]

in fact bernie should have called himself a social democrat.

still a far-left position in the US without the communist smell.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the trick is that there is NO binding definition.

if they hold us in "suspense" they can always dance around possible limits.

[ApatheticAustrian]

or kind of like Occupy, Black Lives Matter, the Tea Party. Most movements in the modern era.

yeah.

just neo-nazis are generally seen as a more dangerous matter.

do you disagree?

[ApatheticAustrian]

Yes. I'm just saying Bannon isn't a White nationalist. He's just a regular old conservative who likes memes. That what he means when he says he's alt right.

besides the fact the he seems to despise many viewpoints of the modern ryan-ite/post-reagan right, the question is not if he is a nazi or whatever but if he enjoys making big bucks through making nazis more famous/increasing their power.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Unlike Trump and a lot of the White supremacist members of the alt right, Bannon has never really spoken out against free market libertarian principals. If he criticizes Ryan ever, it' for being too liberal.

?

bannon has proposed the trumpian trillion-buck-infrastructure-thingie just a few days ago and told the old-school establishment, if they don't like it, it's their own problem. ^^
