I note that the links between Nazism and modern Jihad, both in tone and approach, are numerous enough to be noteworthy. The Jihadist approach to the West is informed and influenced by agitprop victimology street-thuggery tactics developed and perfected by Hitler and other leftists.
You are correct that the Left regards Hitler as Right, and that the Left regards the Right as a bigger threat than the Jihad, and so is happy to combine with them against a mutual foe. I am not so condescending as to attribute to stupidity what can be with fewer assumptions be ascribed to sin. The desire to be God is pride -- and, no, the Left may lack a metaphysic to define and justify this desire, but neither do they place any weight on definitions and justice, only in the desire. The fact that there is no God in a materialist universe does not stop materialists from wanting to be Gods, or, at least, superhumans who live beyond good and evil and ergo are allowed to continue to visit their whores.
Speaking as an intelligent man who intellect is corrupted by pride myself, let me affirm that the appeal of reckless, self-destructive pride as a temptation is not one I would underestimate.

“and other leftists”!? I call bullshit on your “intelligent man” claim.

Huh? Materialists don’t believe in gods and that means that they want to be gods? Were you drunk when you wrote this? Normally your posts, while still full of shit, are more comprehensible and less word-salady.
Last time I checked progressive social belief, which is probably the most common form found in those parts of the world that were part of the British Empire, was based almost entirely on belief in social justice. So in conclusion: wtf ?
"The Jihadist approach to the West is informed and influenced by agitprop victimology street-thuggery tactics developed and perfected by Hitler and other leftists."
Hitler outlawed abortion.
Hitler outlawed gay rights.
Hitler outlawed the teaching of evolution.
Hitler was a rightist.
Hitler was one of yours.

If you think Hitler is a leftist, then you're REALLY far to the right...
The Left regards anyone, who want to restrict other people's civil rights, as a threat, regardless of left or right, Jihad or Crusade. That is evil, in our book.
You might speaking AS an intelligent man, but you ARE NOT an intelligent man. I don't know that appeal at all.
The dead Industrialists who ran Krups and Daimler would like a word with you.
"Workers of the world unite! Now, march into the Camp! Raus!"

Anyone who takes pride in being intelligent, is at best, moderately intelligent to begin with. Because otherwise the eventual realisation, that our level of intelligence is just something we are born with, is unavoidable. It isn't a personal achievement to be proud of, just good fortune to be celebrated.
Hitler and other leftists.
...other mustache wearers.
...other dog lovers.
...other Christians.(oops!)

What more can be said about this line?
Hitler and the Nazis were on the right, that won't change no matter how much you lie about it.
And your books sucked, John.
"You are correct that the Left regards Hitler as Right..."
As do all persons with more than 3 active brain cells.
"Speaking as an intelligent man..."
You're going to start that when?
Look Johny boy, neither side of the left right spectrum is completely free of radical crazies. The right had Hitler, the left had Lenin.
Arguing over which is worse is about as useful to politics today as arguing about the color of the chair fabric in the senate room.
Neither party even approaches the horrid things that those men did.

Pride is the least of your problems, John.
"You are correct that the Left regards Hitler as Right"
Because he was a right winger, dipshit.
I know you right wingers are big on rewriting history but it's absolutely idiotic how you attempt to recast the Nazis as leftists. This is a verifiable fact that isn't up for debate. It's as idiotic as Holocaust denial. I don't know why you bother anyway. You could just as easily claim all liberals are fans of the Soviets, which would at least make a twisted sort of sense, but apparently that isn't enough for you. You also have to make every villian throughout history a leftist. Breaking News: Genghis Khan was totally a pinko liberal. True story, bro.
The first sentence almost made sense. Given that Nazism and Islamism are both right-wing philosophies rooted in identity politics and the desire to ram your beliefs down everybody's throat, there are indeed, some similarities.
And that is where any sense that Mr. Wright was making ends. The rest is standard "Hitler was evil leftie" BS.
Maybe it's the whiskey talking but I don't think I understood a word of that.

wait what
I'm getting the distinct impression that John disapproves of our continuing to visit our whores. I mean, for goodness sake, what is the point of atheism if you can't even visit your whores?
I'm finding John's thinking and writing to be very incisive, and full of witty, yet profound, bullshit. He should keep a journal.
This "Hitler was left wing" thing has only been put about since about 2000, when some right wingers, embarrassed about their similarities to Nazis, decided to start repeating the rumour that Hitler was "left".
Before then, everybody knew that he was a right-winger, which he was.
Having lived under Hitler......
Compulsary reading in the schools - Mein Kampf and The Bible.
Hitler was a fanatical christian and firmly believed that the world be ran on "christian values" with him being christianitys sole representative.
As for your intelligence, words fail me.
English is my 5th language thus my inability to express myself as to your stupidity.
I made the mistake of reading the comments.
He goes on, at one point, to claim that fascism is anti-conservative. And, of course, goes into all the "eugenics & anti-Semitism & authoritarianism are all solely left-wing ideas!" nonsense.
@farpadokly: I seem to remember hearing it before that, but it is solely the claim of American conservative Christians. Considering that both the original Nazis and neo-Nazis consider(ed) themselves right-wing, every respectable historian considers them right-wing (at worst, some concede that they borrowed some rhetoric from left-wing populism), and that the left of the time universally opposed Nazis even as they had internal literal battles (Stalinists and anarchists skirmished repeatedly all over Europe), it's amazing they can get away with saying that at all.
@Non-Prophet: Well, depending on how the word is defined, conservatism may have been something the Nazis and other fascists opposed. They were radically right-wing and reactionary, beyond the scope of what could reasonably be called conservative in that environment, and as critical of the "moderate" right as they could be. Fascism is opposed to conservatism, just as anarchism is opposed to social democracy; these "opponents" are more likely to be allies than enemies. The only reason to say fascism is anti-conservative is to point out its extremism, but given what American conservatives are like, that's becoming a moot point.
Also, Murray Rothbard claimed that authoritarianism is the sole property of the right. Oops.
Confused?
