To everybody..
I submitted large comment here to explain what nazism and fascism is, and to warn it appears in many shapes and in many countries today too, but all my attempt failed, since my comments were deleted!!
So, I can post it individually if anyone want to!
I have no comment for such acting of Care 2!!

Cebelica, I believe you sweetie. I think Care2 is selective on what "they" allow on the comment board. I have heard of other peoples comments being deleted by them, so you are not alone my friend.

I have noted your article, because I thought it is important to remember our history. {We all know that Nazism & Fascism still exists today, all over the globe}...

Thank you so very much my sister for giving this news.
Blessings to all in the Universe, even the people that don't know or care what the hell is going on in the Planet...

Yes free spirit, that was a goal of this story, not to remind history and millions of lives lost and millions fro all over the world whp gave life to win this evil, but also to remind it still exist. So, I wanted to explain basic of these two ideologies, so could enable recognizing it in our time and our places..

I don't like censorship either. Censorship hinders to flow of ideas and freedom to express them. I can't see why C2 would be afraid of Fascism or Nazism.

TY, Cebelica.

I agree :(
But I hate censordhip!

Censorship is the use of the power, on the part of the State or of some influential group, to control the freedom of expression. The censorship consists of any attempt to prohibit the information, the points of view or forms of expression like art, the form to speak, the form to think, etc.
Censorship is a typical aspect of the dictatorships and other authoritarian political systems. The methods of the censorship include attempts to suppress perspective or ideas, like propaganda, the manipulation of mass media.

The fever to always censure is present in those people who consider themselves superior to the others and possessors of the absolute truth; that they think that his political, religious convictions ethical and moral they must govern not only his behavior, but also the one of all the other humans.

I cannot prohibit to the others what the others do not have right to prohibit me: the free exercise of the liberties of expression and thought. The only limits that it is possible to be put to the freedom of each one is the freedom of the others.

"If the freedom means something, it is the right to say to the others what they do not want to hear". (George Orwell)

Many asked me about my removed coment, who got, I would appreciate to write here, was anything wrong there..
And am so sad, for my intention was to remind people about fight which was hard, devasr+tated world, andw where many nations from all over ther world united in battle for democracy..or something like this..Even two comust and capitalist countries were united fighting fascism.

remembering this war, i meant also to remind on permament danger that this might happen , and is still happening
I do not have to go far away..can just write about former Yugoslavia and war 1991-1995..camps, ethnic cleansing, mass graves, masive destructions.. and all based on national and religios justifyings..

No, *C* not an inkling. First Mada posted it, then the next minute it was gone. Then I posted the same comment from Cebelica and the next minute it too was gone, with no explanation whatsoever!
Thanks for asking my friend.

Well, I think that pretty much proves this is more than just a "glitch," since other comments posted prior to, and after, have remained.

Disgusting!

Hi Cebelica - I don't see anything wrong with the comment. All I see are definitions and differences between Nazism and Fascism + Historical meanings.
This comment should not have been censored.

I don't know nor understand why C2 would censor it. Beyond me...

TY, Cebelica

Testing something:

Fascists promote a type of national unity that is usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, national, racial, and/or religious attributes. Various scholars attribute different chara cteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: patriotism, nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, economic planning (including corporatism and autarky), populism, collectivism, autocracy and anti-liberalism (i.e., opposition to political and economic liberalism).

Some authors reject broad usage of the term or exclude certain parties and regimes.Following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II, there have been few self-proclaimed fascist groups and individuals. In contemporary political discourse, the term fascist is often used by adherents of some ideologies as a pejorative description of their opponents.

2 N*ziSM

N*zism, commonly known as National Socialism,[1][2][3][4] (German: Nationalsozialismus), refers primarily to the ideology an d practices of the N*zi Party under Adolf Hitler; and the policies adopted by the government of N*zi Germany from 1933 to 1945, a period also known as the Third Reich. The official name of the party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei[9] (NSDAP) — “National Socialist German Workers’ Party”. The N*zis were one of several historical groups that used the term National Socialism to describe themselves, and in the 1920s they became the largest such group. N*zism is generally considered by scholars to be a form of fascism, and while it incorporated elements from the political left, it formed its most solid alliances on the political right.

N*zism was not a monolithic movement, but rather a (mainly German) combination of various ideologies and groups, sparked by anger at the Treaty of Versailles and what was considered to have been a Jewish/Communist conspiracy (known in the vernacular as the Dolchstoßlegende or “Stab-in-the-Back Legend”) to humiliate Germany at the end of the First World War.

Among the key elements of N*zism were anti-parliamentarism, ethnic nationalism, racism, collectivism, eugenics, antisemitism, opposition to economic liberalism and political liberalism,opposition to finance capitalism with emphasis on Jewish conspiratorial involvement,[ anti-communism, and totalitarianism.

Also, known are fact that exist neofascists and neoN*zists organizations, but are more noted, than truly recognized.

Neo fascism/neo N*zism-please follow the link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism#Neo-fascism

The term neo-N*ism refers to post-World War II ideologies, political movements, and social movements seeking to revive N*ism, or some variant that echos its aspects such as racial or ethnic nationalism or Völkish integralism.

Neo-N*zis rarely use the word neo-N*zi to describe themselves, often opting for labels such as National Socialist, Nationalist or related terms.[5] A few scholars refer to neo-N*zism as "neo-National Socialism."[1] Some groups and individuals who support the ideology openly eschew N*zi-like terms to avoid social stigma or legal consequences.[citation needed] Some European countries have laws prohibiting the expression of pro-N*zi, racist or anti-Semitic views.

Neo-N*zis often use the Indo-Aryan symbols that were in use by N*zi Germany, such as the Swastika, Sig Runes and the red-white-black color scheme. Neo-N*zi activity appears to be a global ph enomenon, with organized representation in many countries, as well as international networks. It has recently been exported to Israel. Individuals who have been involved in post-war N*zi and neo-N*zi activity include Colin Jordan, George Lincoln Rockwell, Savitri Devi, Francis Parker Yockey, David Duke William Pierce, Eddy Morrison, and David Myatt.

But , there are much more ways in which we can recognize elements of this ideologies!

Are not all conflicts and all kinds of oppression justified (I stress NOT CAUSED, BUT JUSTIFIED) by race, national, religious, ideological differences, which are performed by killing, violence, exiling, ethnic cleansing, humiliating, taking away human rights. And worse, even presenting it as an act of democracy and as an act of selfedefense!! All these is to me nothing else but fascism too . Only covered and renamed!
