Anyone who watched the campaign knew that Trump was the candidate of the alt-right. He campaigned on their issues, and won election bashing Muslims and Latinos and kvetching (ha, pun intended) about trade.

Pro tip: if your candidate is supported by the KKK, reevaluate your life and political sympathies immediately. Like, if the KKK is holding a celebratory rally because you were elected, that is a strong indicator you should reevaluate immediately whether the candidate you backed is actually worth your support.

[The_Doctor]

Not to say God-Emperor Trump isn't racist. He isn't, personally. But the man is happy to partake in the traffic from the alt-right and marry it into his themes of anti-globalism.

[Person Man]

This is pretty similar to the 1920s with a lot if the same actors and under the same "Return to Normalcy" rhetoric.

Keep in ming that with Steve Bannon one of these people has now an office within the White House. Historical irony that a Fourth Reich comes to be not in Germany, but in America.

[ApatheticAustrian]

for that comparison to make any sense, there would be the need for....

1) a lively communist or even stalinist youth scene inside the US.....

2) creating their own online universe on popular places like 4chan and spreading their thoughts successfully

3) becoming more influential through co-opting an existing high-traffic website, which gets even bigger and more influential through doubling down on the stalinist thingie.

4) that website would be run by Bernie Sanders who fostered those stalinists and made way for ideologial more pure people than himself.


i am not saying that Bannon is a Nazi - i am saying he is not too much disturbed by parts of the Nazi agenda and has no problems at all making big bucks with Nazis and creating a safe space for them.

[Famous Mortimer]

The Bernie Sanders being a Communist accusation is actually a very good comparison.

People are pretty much saying. Bannon calls himself alt-right. White nationalists call themselves alt right. Therefore Bannon is a White nationalist.

It's just like saying, Bernie is a socialist. Stalin called himself a socialist. Therefore, Bernie is a Stalinist.

Clearly, Bernie and Stalin have different definitions of socialism and Bannon and the White nationalists have different definitions of the alt right.

The fact that you are having to defend him by saying not all socialists are communists though on its face is a reasonable argument, has really moved the goal posts when it was that anyone who was a socialist was unacceptable in the last cycle.

[ApatheticAustrian]

in fact bernie should have called himself a social democrat.

still a far-left position in the US without the communist smell.

except alt-right isn't just an umbrella term that happens to include white nationalists, it's literally synonymous with white nationalists
