] Date Posted: 22:46:56 12/02/04 Thu In reply to: Owain (UK) 's message, "right-wing socialist" on 22:35:03 12/02/04 Thu So what you're saying is that you simultaneously support a resurgence of nationalism (all across Europe, apparently - you quote a Hapsburg, who I'm sure would be all too happy to see a return to nostalgia for the old Austria) and the welfare state. And you're not crazy about those nasty foreigners. Where have I heard that one before? I wonder. Wait a second, wasn't that German bloke with the moustache a national socialist? What was his name again? Adolf something-or-other... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 01:18:54 12/03/04 Fri The mythical Owain of the increasingly large numbers has it right, as far as I can tell. We have seen the ideological combination you are talking about, and we fought a very, very nasty war to try and rid the world of it. I would, if necessary, be prepared to go to war myself should it become necessary to perform the job again. I must say, young man, that I get a distinct mental shudder when I read some of your comments. I find both of your terms – "right wing" and "socialist" – equally distressing. I find that simplistic divisions of complex issues into "left" and "right" are usually a sign of soft-headedness dressing itself up as willpower. I have no problem at all with being proud of one's own culture, but I can't see why it should ever descend to the hostile, bigoted, bone-headed flag-waving and name-calling of nationalism. I believe that you are playing a dangerous game, Owain, and I hope that you will grow out of it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:26:21 12/03/04 Fri I agree with you, Ian. Owain's views seem to fit in rather disturbingly with a party known in Australia as the One Nation Party. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
