1. The white left-wing elite are so infused with racism, that they see Bharat infected with a caste system which is like apartheid, and a democratic elected government which they lambast as Hindu nationalist and Hindu fascist.
2. All this because of some words written by head of RSS, Golwalkar in the 1930s which seemed to praise Germany. Of course, as late as 1937 Churchill praised Hitler, while Daily Mail supported fascism. As indeed did heroes of the Left.
3. In 1935, Churchill expressed “admiration” for Hitler. He praised: “The courage, the perseverance, and the vital force which enabled him to…overcome all the…resistances which barred his path.” Daily Mail owner even met the nazi leader. As did the abdicated king.
4. George Bernard Shaw praised fascism at a Fabian socialist meeting on 5 November 1932 and said that Jews were not part of his biologically ordered future. Shaw believed that Jews should be exterminated through humane scientific methods of eugenics.
5. 1922 Marcus Garvey met with the Ku Klux Klan who were sympathetic to his ideas that if America was for whites then Africa should be for blacks. Marcus Garvey admitted sympathy with Mussolini and was known to admire fascism. “We were the first fascists”, he said.
6. Civil rights pioneer WEB Du Bois admired Nazism as a model for economic organisation for African Americans. In 1937 he gave a speech in Harlem which praised what he saw as democracy in Germany. Du Bois shared the eugenic views of racist white Progressives.
7. His Talented Tenth decried how African-Americans had not been bred for intelligence and beauty and that the worst blacks were over breeding. To this extent he supported the “Negro Project” by the racist Margaret Sanger to limit natural reproduction of blacks.
8. Fascism is the cult of action, something it unsurprisingly shares with communism. The Nazis, fascists and 1960s Leftist radicals were infused with this “action”. It was the Left which invented the term “lying for justice”. Admittedly it had begun with high-minded idealism.
9. But the quest for community was something which the student radicals shared with the Nazis. The New Left heart beat the rhythm of bourgeouis self-loathing and an obsession with violence.
