I keep seeing people claiming that there is no moral equivalence between groups like BLM and the Nazi party. That would be true (until today, I agreed
on principle), except that it's not. I was perusing the BLM website and reading through their platform and it struck me how it's almost Identical to
the American Nazi Party platform, but instead of aryan race issues, it was black race issues. I'll list the similarities.
Both want:
1) No more fossil fuels, green energy
2) Universal healthcare
3) Free* education (nothing's free, they want tax payers to fund it. BLM wants it for black people, Nazi's want it for aryans)
4) Cut the military
5) Redistribution of wealth (both actually use this term)
6) Take over banking
7) Interest free loans
8) Guaranteed income (BLM wants this only for black people, Nazi's only for aryans)
9) Nullify current debts (BLM says student loans, Nazi's say all usurious debt)
10) Free land (BLM wants it for black people, Nazi's want it for aryans)
11) Want to modify political power structure to overcome perceived current disadvantage
Here's where they diverge:
1) Nazi's want all peoples to be free in the US, but only Aryans can be citizens
2) BLM wants wants the criminal justice system disbanded (literally no more prisons)
3) One of the biggest differences is the way they sell it. By that I mean the way they talk about race issues in their platforms. The Nazi's sell it
as though they're gods (supremacists), deserving of a handout, denied them by jewish people. BLM sells it as the oppressed, deserving of a handout,
denied them by white people. Neither takes any kind of responsibility for their current circumstances being less than what they want, they look to
shift that blame onto another race of people (BLM, Whites. Nazi's, Jews.). But really, with their goals being so similar, this just seems like
salesmanship.
The similarities make me wonder if both of these groups aren't backed by the same people who want these policies and pray on the weak minded to gin up
support for their policies.
