George Bernard Shaw on Socialist Mass Murder Adolph Hitler.

For all of you on the left, that don't realize that Hitler was a socialist, and was embraced by many popular figures of our past. This should be a wake-up call, like Tuesday the 19th, 2010 was.

He is the only person besides Al Gore to win both an Oscar and a Nobel prize. George Bernard Shaw continues to be one of the regressive left's most admired figures.

In the preface to Heartbreak House Shaw said:
"It is said that every people has the Government it deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has the electorate it deserves; for the orators of the front bench can edify or debauch an ignorant electorate at will. Thus our democracy moves in a vicious circle of reciprocal worthiness and unworthiness."

In this clip from the 2008 film "The Soviet Story", we see that George Bernard Shaw, the celebrated progressive playwright defended Hitler, advocated killing those who can't justify their existence and called for the development of lethal gas 10 years before the national socialists in Germany did exactly that.

What?

Hitler privatized the economy, attacked the USSR, mass murdered communists and gave tax cuts for the middle class etc.

He was the great conservative hero!

George was an evil man.

"The whole of the French upper and middle classes - the right, if you like - preferred the idea of the Germans to their own Communists and i think you can call that a very powerful fifth column, and it was worked to death by the Germans" - Major General Sir Edward Spears, Conservative MP and Churchill's personal representative in France. Quoted in Richard Holmes (ed) "The World at War: The Landmark Oral history from the Classic TV series", p97.

what do you think about that one?

It's a race between education and catastrophe. Progress, Positivism, Pragmatism, Social Utilitarianism, push against the forces of greed and poverty and ignorance. But People who don't care about the Liberties of others except in speeches DON'T CARE!! The rules are3 there for a reason. But, there is nothing that man can make well that other men can't twist to evil.

The desert has dried up more blood than you can think of. The old regime was famous for it's tortures and hangings. The laws that protect individuals come from the 18th century. Why are you surprised that we would have to fight to install them? Europe was not a republic. The right were still in the habit of aristocracy. The robber barons wanted status as soon as they got rich. It's all about power then. The left as usual was not smart or organized. Women still couldn't vote. It's a mess.

"The left supporter Hitler" (0:16)

"The left in general fundamentally opposed Nazism" (2:16)

This is a laughable documentary that clearly shouldn't be taking seriously.

Churchill was a supporter of eugenics.

Epic fail.

"The Nazis continued to be a catch-all party of social protest, with particularly strong support from the middle classes, and the relatively weak support from in the traditional industrial working class" - Richard Evans, "The Coming of the Third Reich", p295.

Sorry for you, the case remains:

"Hitler was never a socialist" - Ian Kershaw, "Hubris", p448.

"Fascist regimes functioned like an epoxy: an amalgam of two very different agents, fascist dynamism and conservative order, bonded by shared enmity toward liberalism and the Left, and a shared willingness to stop at nothing to destroy their common enemies." - Robert O. Paxton. "The Anatomy of Fascism", p147.

So what they did was to combine Right Wing ideas with populist energy!

@FredBarney200 (11)

And the rest of your comment reads like a conspiricy theory, well where to begin? That it ignores all serious scholarship into Nazi Germany for a start, and that the popularism each you mentioned espoused was for different goals, or that various German Conservatives had tried popularist rhetoric to lure the masses into Pan-German/Nationalist causes well before Drexler and Hitler tried so?

@FredBarney200 (10)

So my point about still stands, Certainly in the land of George Bernard Shaw, the Right Wing did support Hitler as least as much and perhaps more than what this film claims the left did. Besides which the film shots its own and your theory to some extent when it also claims "It must be said that Bernard shaw, as well as the left in general fundamentally opposed Nazism..."
