Diane lost her usefulness when she committed thge unpardonable sin of reaching out to the opposition. She actually had thge nerve to give a Republican a hug.....so---she must be replaced by someone ( anyone) who is not as civil.

Aun: fascism and Communism are both totalitarian in thought and practice. lawyers call this a "distinction without a difference." If you had gone to the fourth grade you would have understood this..As in the difference between Fascist Germany and Communist China and Communist Russia and Communist North Korea and Communist Cuba is exactly what?????The people are totally oppressed no matter where they live in these paradises. Lose your hostility and read some elementary history books...

That's your problem, htp1. You've been reading elementary history books. You should read some scholarly college level history books.

In the six years between the Fascist victory in Germany and the outbreak of war, Nazism erected a system of production, distribution and consumption that defies classification in any of the usual categories. It was not capitalism in the traditional sense: the autonomous market mechanism so characteristic of capitalism during the last two centuries had all but disappeared. It was not State capitalism: the government disclaimed any desire to own the means of production,and in fact took steps to denationalize them. It was not socialism or communism: private property and private profit still existed. The Nazi system was, rather, a combination of some of the characteristics of capitalism and a highly planned economy. Without in any way destroying its class character, a comprehensive planning mechanism was imposed on an economy in which private property was not expropriated, in which the distribution of national income remained fundamentally unchanged, and in which private entrepreneurs retained some of their prerogatives and responsibilities in traditional capitalism. All this was done in a society dominated by a ruthless political dictatorship.

From the point of view of this study, the most important single change was the abolition of the traditional system of autonomous markets in which demand and supply meet, coordinating the economic activities of millions of individuals. In spite of the decline of competition and the growth of government intervention, no single agency regulated the economy in pre-Nazi Germany in terms of a specific, well-defined purpose. The Nazi government substituted conscious, over-all direction of the economy for the autonomy of the market mechanism and subordinated the economic system to a predetermined objective, the creation of a war machine. A vast network of organizations was erected to embrace individuals, corporations, manufacturers, farmers, dealers, small business and large business - in short, every factor of production, distribution, and consumption. By dominating this organizational structure through which orders could be issued to every businessman, and by insisting upon strict obedience from all, the government obtained complete control over the economy. Commodity prices, interest rates, and wages were not only fixed by the government, but they lost completely their traditional significance as regulators of economic activities. The government decided and ordered what and how much should be invested, produced, distributed, consumed,or stored. A system of "direct" controls was substituted for the mechanism of prices which regulates economic activities "indirectly" in traditional capitalism.

Are you really so stupid as to not understand the fundamental differences between fascism and communism?

Fascism engages in crony capitalism. Communism engages in crony statism.
Fascism encourages ostracizing "others". Communism "pretends" to accept everybody.

Never mind, I made a simplistic point here about communist Russia fighting fascist Germany in World War II, but upon reflection, there were nuances and aspects that complicated things to the point that I didn't want to dive into it.

Now do Mitch McConnell

Lydia Moynihan, you are implying that Feinstein enriched herself at the public trough, but duh, most people know that she married a really rich guy. So go do that maybe.

The right wing would certainly never support anyone who owned a lot of expensive properties. Can't think of a single example.

So no, you don't understand the difference between communism and socialism and fascism. You are a pinhead righty. That's why nothing that you say ever makes any sense.

I appeared a few times at trial settings in front of DiFi's daughter, Katherine Anne Feinstein, when she was the PJ at SFSuperior Court. She was a real professional, no diva, a lady and had a great judicial temperament. So many judges are political hack a$$h@les. I was very impressed by her.

Why do Californians vote for politicians they don't like every election?

Probably because they like them better than the alternative.

Amen!

Awomen!
