From the example of Scott Walker in Wisconsin, we can see clearly what we’re going to end up with if the Republicans are in charge: a return to the Articles of Confederation’s ineffective federal government and a bunch of petty little banana republic(an) despots owned by corporate interests, ignoring the law, running their states like private enrichment schemes and pretty much doing whatever they want in contravention of morality and decency and all accepted standards of proper conduct for elected officials. There’s your Republican model of the future. We’ve seen this before: from 1933-1945. The National Socialist Party, like the Republican, was in league with industrialists – Krupp, I.G. Farben, and others, a case of one devil selling his soul to another to get what he wanted. I.G. Farben, for example, contributed 400,000 RM (Reichsmarks) to Hitler’s campaign pocket book leading up to his seizure of power in 1933. Koch Industries, like those German industrialists, is buying the government so that Republican government and industrialists can both get what they want. Extremism begets extremism; as Hitler himself was, he had subordinates whose behavior was so erratic that they had to be dismissed, including those who ruled the various German regions, known as Gau. These men, called Gauleiters were provincial governors who looked out not for the interests of the people they governed, but the corporate-political-military interests of the National Socialist Party. Scott Walker is doing a fine impersonation of a Nazi Gauleiter in Wisconsin. Extremism of ideology brings out all the low-IQ, unqualified whack-jobs from the sidelines and gives them the field of play. This was true in the ’30s and it is true today. Thus we see people like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and others – including Walker. Walker was encouraged enough by Republican extremism to engage in public thuggery on a level not usually seen today, if less uncommon in the past (Huey Long for example). But Walker is a symptom of a larger problem. He’s the head of the pimple. What is truly going on is a Republican Reich, and states have become regions, or “Gaus” of the Republican Reich. Walker is a Gauleiter, running his state like a fief, like other Republican governors, enforcing the state’s war on the worker (Hitler abolished labor unions too, remember on May 2, 1933), as well as the Republican Party’s Sexual Hygiene Laws. We can and should equate these Sexual Hygiene Laws with National Socialism’s Racial Hygiene Laws. As Susan Bachrach writes of their Nazi incarnation, “In democratic societies, the needs of public health sometimes require citizens to make sacrifices for the greater good, but in Nazi Germany, national or public health – Volksgesundheit – took complete precedence over individual health care” with the object of “implementing Nazi policies aiming to ‘cleanse’ German society of people viewed as biologic threats to the nation’s health.”[1] This is how we see our own fascists speak of the “homosexual threat” – as a disease that threatens the body politic, or feminism or atheism or liberalism or women’s reproductive rights. Every perceived threat is couched in these terms. Where it was the Jews who were primarily seen as the threat in Nazi Germany, it is homosexuals the Republicans view as one of the major threats to the so-called American way of life. Mike Huckabee says he will run on an anti-abortion platform, that it is the biggest threat to America today. Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association sees out of wedlock births as that major threat. In the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, none of them takes on the economic situation – or wars, or social injustice, or poverty, or crime. Their enemy is sex, with the same Christian-based focus on sexual impurity embraced by the Nazis in the 30s. The sexually repressed seem to take an almost prurient delight in sex, in obsessing about sex, and banning and then engaging in sex. In short, there is a lot of projecting going on by these sexually repressed bigots. They even pull out some of the old Nazi excuses, like a declining birth rate. Marriage is for procreation, they say. It is not for pleasure. Same-sex marriage cannot produce offspring and it is therefore against nature and because (they insist) marriage is a religious institution (in reality, it is a social institution) it is against God. The Jews believed God would “vomit you out” for that. Hitler did vomit you out and the Republicans want a piece of that action too. Look at the image below: “You also bear the burden!” it tells us, speaking clearly to you as a white male.
