Peace, you're trivialising the issue. Neo-Nazis breathing as I do does not stop me breathing for a second. But if I find that they argue in a political question as I do I at least stop for a moment and think about it once more.

Dianavan, yes, we might even recollect that the S in NSDAP stood for "socialist" though their actual politics were far from that.

"Even Nazi trash breathes air. They live in shelter of some sort. They eat food. So do Communists, Socialists, Capitalists, mass murderers, folkies, rock and rollers, etc, etc, etc."


Peace,PLEASE be careful: You might give mass murderers a bad image, with that association.

Some things are pretty basic.

Even Nazi trash breathes air. They live in shelter of some sort. They eat food. So do Communists, Socialists, Capitalists, mass murderers, folkies, rock and rollers, etc, etc, etc.

I'm sure, on other occasions, their agendas meet with people of entirely different political persuasions.

Maybe this is a case of the left and right meeting in a circlular manner.

I wasn't posting this to trivialize the protests; I just find the juxtaposition amusing. Or is it just me?

The world should know that the fight against globalisation is a fight of the people.
The G8 meeting is disastrous (because) on its agenda are yet more globalisation, unbridled competition, and even less control for international big business.
Low-wages slaves (become) a threat for social standards.
Gib8 (pay attention): social instead of global

Alle these are translations of slogans and articles of the right radical NPD of the last few weeks.

Or do you want to read a critique of a Bush visit (in 2006) to Germany right from the NPD website? Under the title Ami go home the article starts:

US president Geroge W. Bush is coming to Germany following an invitation from Chancelor Merkel. He is the highest representative of a country that enforces its interests over the whole world in a brutal and inconsiderate way. Innocent victims among the civilian population are an accepted and approved side effect of the bombing of countries opposing to blackmail attempts. In a similar way hundred thousands of dead children are accepted as a consequence of medical under-supply caused by embargoes orchestrated by the USA.

As a consequence of the undemocratic structures of the USA, the interests of this country are not identical with the intereasts of its population but with those of a tiny super-rich upper class that has the increase of its capital as its foremost concern. For the implementation of these interests the USA use the strategy of the triple imperialism: military imperialism, economic imperialism, and cultural imperialism.... (and so on, including a sharp critique of the Iraq war)

Our neo-Nazis ride the waves of anti-USA (Bush, present US government), anti-globalisation, anti-Iraq war, anti-Israel, anti-capitalist, pro-environment emotions.

That puts the organisers of any demonstration in a dilemma: Can you turn away protesters who share the aims of your protest? I had to laugh when listening to an interview this morning. One of the organisers of the anti-G8 protest was asked whether they had thought of turning away the violent crowd of anarchists and hooligans. He said with emphasis that the organisers would never turn away anybody who shared the aims of the protest.

He had not thought about the obvious following question: But you did turn away the neo-Nazis, didn't you?

The way he did stutter then made me laugh.

Re the anti-G8 riots--
Carrying backpacks and banners, the protesters, including anarchists, peaceniks, unionists, communists and Boy Scouts, descended here under the motto: "Another world is possible."

Another group of neo-Nazi's was, apparently headed off at the pass.
