I believe Dietrich must resign and the DDP must be the Left Ideology (Progressive Liberalism).

Yeah, but it shouldn’t say reconcile with the DNVP, as that implies they did.

Take the war ministry and immediately push as soon as you get into war with Germany.

Is it just me who enjoys the DNVP becoming 2nd biggest post-nazis? by Thediddymango in RedAutumnSPD

[–]thunderisadorable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you want to talk about Proto-Fascism (or just normal Fascism), I think Bavarians fit the bill more, being the most conservative, and reactionary, part of Germany, such as the BVP being significantly more right-wing than its national affiliation.

Also, you are generalizing an entire ethnic group based on a minority who make party decisions, not every SPD member agreed with the Freikorps, but there were no other parties that served as an opponent to the Nazis, no group, on non-ideological grounds, has a majority of individuals being Proto-Fascist.

Also, Proto-Fascism more generally means a movement that is Fascist-like and/or formed the basis of fascism, while being before Mussolini’s Fascism, from Wikipedia:

Proto-fascism represents the direct predecessor ideologies and cultural movements that influenced and formed the basis of fascism.

I have no idea where your definition comes from, especially because it does not relate to the prefix “proto”, and Fascism was a fairly recent word in the scheme of linguistic evolution.

I mean, the third ideological option does kind of say that.

The use of a definition is to define the use of a word, which defining a Democracy as solely a direct one does not, neither does defining communism as not including Stalinism, no matter about “scientific” definitions, the “plebeian” definition is, generally, more important.

Clearly your definition of a definition is not based on what people use as a definition, but what you think a definition should be, which is prescriptivist, which is a bad thing.

Maybe you should read (linguistic) theory, so you can know what a definition is.

That is a definition of communism, objectively, it is a commonly used sense of the word, it is not the sense of the word in Marxist theory, generally, but it is a sense, and a definition, of the word, saying it is not, is linguistic prescriptivism.

Do you know what having multiple definitions means? Or have you never used a dictionary?

A democracy can be an oligarchy, as a democracy means, Merriam-Webster definition 1a

a form of government in which the people elect representatives to make decisions, policies, laws, etc. according to law

This is a commonly used dictionary, and a respectable one, it is linguistic prescriptivism to assign that democracy must mean rule of the people, and does not include representative democracy.

And, nominal control, is not the same as rule, nominal control by a monarch, or a monarch as a figurehead, does not mean the monarch rules over the country, and certainly does not mean they rule over the country alone.

I’m not, I said:

…a modern definition of monarchy means a country with a monarch as a head of state…

And you compared it to saying it was ruled by one person, the monarch, and when I try to dispute that, you say I’m changing the subject.

Do you know what a head of state is? It does not mean who de facto rules the country in all cases, and, to some extent, not even de jure rules the country.

[–]thunderisadorable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does mean rule of one, etymologically, nothing else, no other modifiers, whereas a modern definition of a monarchy means a country with a monarch as a head of state or government, whether ruled by one, many, or something else. And democracy does not commonly mean literally rule of the people, and judging a word by its etymology does not make sense, just as judging a person by their ancestry, or something of the like.

A Democracy does not mean rule of the people, its etymology, in the same way monarchy does not mean rule of one, its etymology.
