1) Comparing @Ocasio2018's campaign platform to Mussolini's Carta di Lavoro, otherwise known as the Labour Charter of 1927, and the Nazi Party's 25 points? AND digging up her antisemitic tweets?
Challenge. Accepted.
Challenge. Accepted.
2) Her campaign platform.
3) The Carta di Levoro, Mussolini's signature socialism legislation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Ch…
4) The 25 Points of the Nazis historyplace.com/worldwar2/rise…
5) I shall go point by point through @Ocasio2018's platform for the comparisons.
6) Point 1: Medicare for All. Comparable to point 21 of the Nazi party "21. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness..."
7) Point 2: Universal Job Guarantees. This one is FAR easier. Article 2 of the Labor Charter: ""Work, in all its intellectual, technical, and manual forms, is a social obligation. To this end, and only to this end, it is safeguarded by the State..."
8) "The totality of production is unitary from the national point of view; its objectives are unitary and comprise the well-being of the producers and the development of national strength."
9) Also, Nazi Point 7 "We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood."
10) Also Nazi Point 10 "The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all."
11) Paid Family and Maternity leave fall under Nazi Point 21 as well, "The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers"
12) This is not to say paid maternity leave is a Nazi idea. I'm simply stating that making is government-mandated is a socialist idea. Far better for it to be used as a way for employers to compete for top quality female workers.
13) Housing as a Human Right: Also Nazi point 7, "We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently..."
14) Justice System Reform: Nazi point 19: "We demand that Roman law, which serves a materialist ordering of the world, be replaced by German common law." There wasn't German common law at the time, so basically, 'we want to replace the current laws with our own.'
15) Immigration Justice: Ok, this one's difficult to compare, as the Nazis were xenophobic like lava is hot, however Democrats are essentially allowing the importation of a class of people who are often a: stuck in slave labor like conditions, or b: made sex slaves. Sooooo yeah.
16) Infrastructure overhaul: Nazi point 17, "We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose."
17) Article 9 Labor Charter: "Intervention in econ. production may take place only where private initiative is lacking or is insufficient, or when are at stakes the political interest of the State. This intervention may take the form of control, encouragement, direct management."
18) I'll just move on to the antisemitic tweets at this point.
19) This person tweets a lot and I'm at work, this is taking awhile LMAO
20) Oooh, here's one, where supporting Trump's Israel Embassy move (Yes there were some Democrats who did support the move) was 'shocking.'
21) Thanks for pointing this one out
22) The complete lack of contextual knowledge... wow.
23) Her talking to Glenn Greenwald about Palestine. apparently, Puerto Rico=Palestine. 0.o
24) Aaaaand thank you internet sleuths
25) Really, you guys are fantastic
/Ending for now. This.... is going to be fucking hilarious.
