The Strasser bothers were never referred to as "National Bolsheviks". There is a similarity in their ideology and the ideology of the modern "National Bolshevik" movement (a fringe of a fringe to be sure). However the Strassers and those like them in the NSDAP were simply a little more left wing then the post-1934 Nazi Party; believing in the nationalization of the banks and some other industries and supplementing the German army with a "people's militia" of SA men. Still it was as red as you can get in the Nazi movement. Indeed some members of the German Communist party joined the Nazi Party after the latter came to power. They were referred to as "beefsteaks" by the mainstream Nazis; brown on the outside, red on the inside.Maphisto86https://www.blogger.com/profile/07359869856539160113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-50669084860004224902011-01-02T11:36:17.481+00:002011-01-02T11:36:17.481+00:00thanks for that very helpful piece of background i...thanks for that very helpful piece of background info, Eliyahubataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-4366434913231301652011-01-02T11:28:58.376+00:002011-01-02T11:28:58.376+00:00I am not sure that everybody knows what "stra...I am not sure that everybody knows what "strasserite" in Cohen's blog refers to. The Strasser brothers were German Nazis, that is, national socialists. They led a Nazi faction called "national Bolsheviks." That is, they combined Nazi Judeophobia with explicit admiration for the Communist Soviet Union. They were no doubt aware of how the Soviet Bolsheviks treated those of dissident views and social classes that were considered "reactionary." They most likely knew about the millions killed or starved to death in the First Five Year Plan. Hitler too must have known. So the Bolsheviks gave an example to the Nazis. <br /><br />Ben Cohen probably mentioned in his huffpost piece, which I will have to get to, that al-Akhbar is affiliated with Hizbullah, while taking a "leftist" stance on other issues. An al-Akhbar reporter was on hand for the show that the Hizb put on when they ambushed an Israeli soldier on the Lebanese border in August.

The Jews are always to blame for their own misfortune, don't you know, even if the Farhud occurred SEVEN years before Israel was established.<br /><br />I second what you say about Arab victimhood, but interestingly enough Berbers often have a different view - like the Jews, they have been victims of Arab imperialism.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-10139455297086422352011-01-01T22:10:17.113+00:002011-01-01T22:10:17.113+00:00Cor blimey!

Unless the Arabs aren't being praised for their "so-called" benevolence, they don't want to know.<br /><br />This Angry Arab sounds a right turnip! These guys need to feel victims, because if they didn't they'd have to face up to 1400 of imperialism and cultural cleansing.<br />Keep up the good work. The truth always wins out even though I deeply worry for the safety of Israel.<br /><br />Shanghai Mary (former wife of a Berber from Setif, Kabyle)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
