Liberals, like conservatives, are nazis at heart.

24 April 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

A nazi — referring to the ideology, not merely to Hitler’s political Party — is any person (regardless of political Party) who is a racist-fascist-supremacist, and, as such, supports imperialism, especially his own: believes that his nation, religion, etc., should control the entire world. This is the pure conservative ideology, and therefore deserves to be called “the far right.” It is intrinsically expansionist, and ‘justifies’ that expansionism because of the ‘superiority’ of that person and of “our people.” Hitler was an excellent example of it.

By contrast, a democrat, a supporter of progressive values, is the exact opposite of all of those things, and therefore the pure progressive ideology deserves to be called “the far left,” because it is the opposite pole from nazism: each of these two extremes in ideology is the opposite of what the other is.

A liberal is anyone who is somewhere between those two extremes, and liberalism is therefore full of self-contradictions. (For example, Karl Marx was a liberal — not a progressive — and his ideology was consequently full of self-contradictions.)

The only progressive I have ever come to know at all (other than myself) might be my dear friend, Vanessa Beeley. There could be others, but they’re not sufficiently well-known to have come to my attention, or else have not expressed themselves sufficiently completely so that I can know whether they are consistently progressive. In any case, it’s easier to be consistently conservative than consistently progressive, because conservatism reflects the predominant values-system of the past, whereas progressivism has emerged to a large extent as a reaction against that (against nazism). For example, slavery and even genocide are included as parts of ‘God’s law’ in the Bible, but are outlawed nearly everywhere today because both of those phenomena are now considered to be only “far right,” and have come to be rejected by most people, despite what ‘Holy Scripture’ says. Such changes in values-systems have taken place over thousands of years; and, for example, the superb dramatic TV series about the “Vikings” during the 8th Century, though not historically accurate on some details, does accurately represent the values-system of the Vikings (the Scandinavians but especially Norwegians, at that time), and of England and also of France (both of which lands they invaded), and those all were basically the same values-system as Hitler’s values were — it was the norm then — it was virtually universal at that time. Values-systems evolve just as organisms do. This dramatic series is good for displaying, and in remarkable and historicaly accurate detail regarding values-related issues, that though the basic values-system in Hitler’s Germany and in Israel since 1948 is so different from most nations’ values-system today, that racist-fascist-supremacist-imperialist values-system was normal prior to around the year 1800 and constituted the basis of monarchies for thousands of years. It’s been basically just one tribal gang invading, robbing, killing, raping, and enslaving, others, and being authorized by their clerics to do so.

Liberals might be squeamish about referring to our ancestors in this way, but still it’s true. Progress is good. Conservatives oppose it, but progress is good.

An excellent discussion between two leading liberals was posted on April 22nd, “Yanis Varoufakis in Conversation with Jeffrey Sachs on the Six Global Crises Confronting Humanity”, and Varoufakis introduced Sachs by condemning, at 4:58,

Washington's declaration of a

4:58

new cold war against China, first by Trump then by Biden. Now Trump is continuing it, to the genocide in

5:05

Palestine, to the rise of the Donald, of Trump, and the in response to the rise of

5:12

the Donald by the liberal establishment both in the United States and in Europe. …

5:17

And Sachs then opened by saying that he used to be disgusted only by America’s Government — “In 2015, I knew how incredibly stupid my government was, but I still had some hopes for Europe” — but he no longer finds ONLY America’s Government disgusting. He had previously known how — as I have defined — the U.S. Government is nazi, but not that today’s Europe is, if anything, even more so. “I believe that the Ukraine conflict essentially was provoked by the United States” and now finds that the EU is even more so, he said.

However, his saying that “the Ukraine conflict essentially was provoked by the United States” grossly misrepresents the actual history, which is that America’s Government CAUSED the war in Ukraine, started that war against Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine with Ukrainian soldiers instead of American soldiers, and intending, from the very outset, to defeat, conquer, take over, Russia, by this means — and, thereby, not ONLY to gain control over the world’s most natural-resources-rich nation, Russia, but ALSO to greatly enrich the billionaire owners of America’s armaments manufacturers in the process of doing so (by donating with U.S. taxpayer dollars tens of billions of dollars-worth of those weapons and ammunition to Ukraine).

Actually, what Varoufakis referred to as the “new cold war against China” (which is the world’s most human-resources-rich nation) started under, and by, their fellow liberal — and 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, who organized the Arab Spring including the overthrow of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya, and the overthrow of Assad in Syria (which produced al-Qaeda’s rule over Syria today) — and (though Varoufakis said it started under Trump, that war was actually started when Obama’s most ambitious policy was his proposed international economic treaties TPP, TTIP TISA, and all three of them were designed to give U.S. billionaires the ultimate control over international commerce. As I had headlined on 5 May 2015 about Wall Street’s CFR’s analysis, of the TPP, “CFR Says China Must Be Defeated, & TPP Is Essential to That”. Explaining how the TPP would actually function, I headlined on 7 October 2015, “The Most Criminal Treaty in History Is Finally Presented for Signing”. By great good luck TPP was too nazi for even America’s Asia-Pacific allies to sign, and that extremely fortunate loss for Obama was a huge win for the entire world, but on 1 December 2016, Friends of the Earth headlined “Secret TiSA trade deal equally as dangerous as TPP and TTIP finds new Friends of the Earth International report”. Those treaties were Obama’s biggest ambition of all, and we are so fortunate that they all either died or got significantly watered-down.

At 10:32, Sachs condemned “the level of misgovernance in Europe,” likewise as-if it were just a horrible mistake, mere errors. Then, at 14:20, he said of the war in Ukraine (which he hides was CAUSED by Obama), “Of course, this is a war that never should have happened.” Where have we heard that phrase before? A thousand times from Trump.

And at 17:11, he said, “Let's be clear about this, he [Trump] says, but he says rightly, ‘Look, this is Biden's war, this isn't my war and this is a loser, I'm I'm getting out of here.’ So this is the bottom line: Trump’s not going to invest anything in this war.” However, Trump lied there, because as President in his first term he didn’t stop any of Obama’s wars — not in Ukraine, not in Syria, not anywhere — and he even increased beyond what Obama had invested in them; he did it, for example, by continuing Obama’s war against Russia in the southeastern provinces of Ukraine, the ones that were being bombed by Ukraine, and on 22 December 2017, Trump reversed Obama’s policy of limiting ‘lethal’ U.S. arms to Ukraine, and he approved supplying Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine (calling them ‘defensive’ which lied because they also can be used in offensive operations), supposedly to counter ‘further Russian aggression in Europe’. A few days prior to that, the U.S. Department of State had announced increased export of U.S.-made snipers, ammunition, and accessories. Yet Sachs pretends that Trump is sincere about his statements that he wasn’t one of the three U.S. Presidents who advanced America’s war against Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine. He certainly was, but Sachs affirms Trump’s lies about that.

And when Sachs said that “In 2015, I knew how incredibly stupid my government was,” he was pretending that the matter was mere errors, NOT criminal intents, by the U.S. Government. Sure, America’s take-over of Ukraine in February 2014 was merely “stupid” — NOT criminal (which it certainly WAS).

Those are just a few examples of how liberals cover-up the actual nazistic intents of Western Governments.

You can’t fix a problem that you don’t understand. Therefore, keeping the public ignorant of what the problem really IS (as liberals routinely do), provides a great service to the billionaires, who further-enrich themselves by keeping the public ignorant of the ugliness of the reality that stands behind the smiling liberal face of what actually is nazism, though not called such. These criminal actions by the U.S.-and-allied Governments are done for a reason — and it’s not for the public’s reason.

I have presented my own proposed system to fix the problem of the lack of democracy, but, so far, no one seems to be seriously interested in solving the problem. Apparently, people think it’s okay simply to lie about democracy, and about the U.S.-and-allied nations that claim to be democracies. Behind those smiling liberal faces are nazis, but ones who speak in the accepted circuitous ways. Those people know that keeping the public ignorant of what the problem really IS, provides a great service to the billionaires. And the billionaires likewise know it. Well, readers also should. So, I say it.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
