From Pauline Hanson to Fraser Anning. Damning evidence is building in support of what people are calling a Nazis/fascist takeover. Though as we'll find these are merely symptoms of a more serious virus sweeping the globe. Now it's time to resist.
In his maiden speech to the Senate, Anning said Australia had an immigration problem that needed a “final solution” , the term used by Nazis to describe the genocide of Jewish people during the second world war.
Pauline Hanson is no saint. Being just a few steps away from an all out fascist ideology. In her famous debut parliamentary address Hanson doesn't hold back the racist bigotry - “I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians,” she said. “They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos, and do not assimilate.”
According to Wikipedia- National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/),[1] is the ideology and practices associated with the Nazi Party—officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP)—in Nazi Germany, and of other far-right groups with similar aims.
Nazism is a form of fascism and showed that ideology's disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system, but also incorporated fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism came from Pan-Germanism and the Völkisch movement prominent in the German nationalism of the time, and it was strongly influenced by the Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's "cult of violence" which was "at the heart of the movement."[2]
This follows hard photographic evidence of Australian soldiers in Afghanistan flying the Swastika for a "prolonged period" during an operation back in 2007.
When the militarized interests of the nation trump the rights of citizens to challenge the actions of our government towards vulnerable ‘Others’, we are moving in a Nazi direction.
Australia isn't the only nation to be plagued by ultra-nationalist fascist ideology. With Nazi sentiment still lingering throughout Europe like a bad smell, it was only a matter of time until it was exacerbated by mass migration from war-torn Middle Eastern and Africa. Just take a look at this alarming list of Nationalist, anti-immigration parties rising up throughout Europe. It seems that history books are never enough to persuade us from making the same mistakes.
Look no further than arguably the most famous of the strong men nationalist Donald J Trump. Watch the featured video, say no more...
What are the solutions? Thankfully there are fantastic groups trying to work with Governments around the globe to combat far-right extremism with what's called a soft intervention. Which is about countering individuals who are vulnerable to violent ideologies. Sadly in this article
Activists such as Mr Michaelis's cries for the Australian governments support is not being heard. Therefore heightening our suspicions, making Nazism in our parliament all the more real, albeit underground.
