Summary
The Left Is Embracing Fascistic Ideology, Vox Entertains "Socialist Nationalism." Perhaps Vox just made a silly gaffe in suggesting that "Socialist Nationalism" could work, or perhaps they were seriously suggesting that we try what the Germans did, which would be insane.
While the gaffe is funny the encroaching fascistic tactics and ideology is not. While far left groups tend not to be nationalist themselves they do endorse a global community perspective which is not to far off from what we saw in WW 2.
2020 Democrats have even been embracing some of the more fringe ideological beliefs which can only lead in one direction. While social justice is a good thing to strive for the people who end up pushing the hardest use authoritarian means to get what they want. In the end they adopt a world view of "no truth only power" where they will call everything offensive in an effort to advantage or power.
Our society seems to know when the right has gone too far but can't seem to be at all concerned when the left goes too far. If we don't actively call out the ever encroaching left wing identitarianism then nothing will stop it.

| 0:00.0 | Why is fascism on the rise today? |
| 0:02.8 | Well, it could be, because at least some elements of the left have been openly embracing |
| 0:07.7 | fascistic philosophies. |
| 0:10.0 | That is me paraphrasing anarchist anthropologist David Graber. |
| 0:14.2 | That is not my opinion, though I do agree with him, and I think I have a lot of evidence |
| 0:18.0 | to suggest that he's actually right. |
| 0:20.2 | What's worrisome about this growing trend on the left is that it tends to be high profile |
| 0:24.8 | and well-funded individuals who are actively pushing fascistic ideology. |
| 0:29.9 | Now don't get me wrong, it's very different from the fascism of World War II. |
| 0:33.8 | But we are seeing strange parallels. |
| 0:36.7 | A lot of people like to compare today to why in our Germany, I think it's silly when |
| 0:40.4 | you consider there are a million differences and only a few similarities. |
| 0:45.1 | But we can see that whatever is happening on the left in terms of ideology has some rather |
| 0:51.0 | terrifying similarities. |
| 0:52.8 | For one, we just saw a guy show up to an ice facility with fire bombs and weapons, and |
| 0:57.7 | where is the media? |
| 0:59.2 | They don't care, they're not talking about it. |
| 1:01.2 | In fact, people like Sean King are openly praising this and calling for more. |
| 1:06.2 | When fringe crazy people on the right do something, everyone condemns them. |
| 1:09.8 | The left doesn't. |
| 1:11.3 | While I certainly think elements of the right need to be criticized and they have been, |
| 1:15.4 | it seems like the left is just getting away with pushing open fascistic philosophies. |
