Interesting happenings...

Not being political just historical and accurate.

Jackboot wearing Hugo Boss uniformed were not Socialist. They were/are Fascists. They were fighting Socialist Communism alongside Britain, Canada, and eventually the USA.

Still doing that today in Ukraine.

"Sometimes Socialist" Love that Blanch!!

Sometimes freedom of speech means bitting your tongue while someone exercises it! Makes our countries unique, special, and enjoyable.

The problem is when English words get attached to mean something other than what is intended. I read the book, I read the red book. The red book of Stalin was read to the red army.

From Wiki
Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and workers' self-management of the means of production[10] as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.[11] Social ownership may refer to forms of public, collective or cooperative ownership, or to citizen ownership of equity.[12] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them,[13] though social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms.

Interesting to note that the world rankings of the most or best countries to live in better than half of the top ten are socialist. Over the past seven years.

This year the top Six are all Socialist leaning.

They all have a working economy and publicly traded stocks on an international level.

Again not to be political. Just debateable facts and not Socialist=Red=Russian=NO FREEDOM fear mongering that usually erupts from the mouthpieces of Multi-National Corporations when someone dares to say "Hey shouldn't we get to at least lick the spoon!"

When Trump publicly stated he wanted immigrants from the Scandinavian countries.....the resounding reply was “hell no”.

Scandinavia countries are socialist and the population would never give it up to come here.

(Of course, we know he didn’t mean he wanted socialists ...he wanted white people)

Motruckdriver, I think you better put the image up here so people can see just what it was. I’m pretty sure from the comments most people never saw just what type of folks were trying to meet there in Q.

It just occurred to me that I think I'd like to visit the ones I haven't yet on that list, i.e., New Zealand, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark.

Okie dokie... here is the image that someone posted on the RTR Chatter FB site.  It was from some gal or at least the poster avatar had a picture of a female on it.  I did go to her FB page to see if there was more information about this.  None, but there was a picture of a border crossing station and the comments were that she wanted more information and if anyone could give her more information she'd send them a naked picture of herself.  I knew right then I was in the wrong place.

Just to be clear here. I didn't start this post as a political offering. The National Socialist Party in the US are the Neo-Nazi skinheads. What I wanted to convey here is that IF this is actually happening their "Patriotic Fair" will be nothing more than a recruitment rally and they are known to be a very violent group. They also attract other equally violent groups opposed to their ideology. What I'm saying here is... be cautious and be safe.

Been to all of them and they are nice places to visit. I twisted (badly) my ankle in Norway and they couldn't see a break on the x-ray but it looked broken to me and the Doctor in the little town of Bergen so they did an MRI. When I tried to pay they wouldn't have any of it. I said I have super good insurance and to bill me or send the bill to XYZ insurance or I will pay and they will reimburse me. No is all they said! Not our way! 

Super nice people in Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweeden, Finland, and Denmark. I have nothing but awesome memories. 

To the other posts and the like. Remember what I hate?

What I hate is stupidity!

I really don't care if you want to spend your life blaming a race of people for you being a tosser (British for F'D Up) I might even agree with some of your multinationals controlling the world's governments ideas. The violence of your ideology is an egg salad sandwich and as violent as you might get it would pale in comparison to the place I would begin. Should I be forced to be a jerk again. I quite like the calm, karmaBard, stopping to find the love in the world Scott I made. But I won't share my vodka with you because you're stupid. A socialist group that marches under a fascist flag? The person/group is obviously too stupid to have a conversation with never mind an ideological debate. 

A card-carrying fourth column Neo-Fascist. Ok, I can have a talk or debate with you. I have had talks with many militant skinhead types in the past and even drank with a few. Blinded by hate and filled with conspiracy ideology, I can even understand their point of view. I can never agree with it or condone it. But I can see it. Even if their point of view is incorrect. "If a man is blind it is not his fault he doesn't know he has his arm up an elephant ass!" Sounds better in the local language. 

Us and Them by Pink Floyd. I don't agree. I won't cross the camp to hear the poison. But I probably wouldn't get up from the campfire if it was brought up. So long as it didn't drift into the realm of stupid. Everybody is free to be you and me. 

People of this ilk are best given a wide gap. They are not stable and not very intelligent and the combination does tend to make them pretty dangerous. I would protect any race of person from their violent ideology because...well that is who I am. If they want to stand in the cacti and preach hate so be it. But no violence.  I will not join the ranks of the stupid. Nor will I join the ranks of "The Turning Away." Another great Floyd song (mostly Waters in this case).

The poster says, "Patrotic" which is not in the dictionary. So did they coin a new word?
