Kyrgyzstan election: Protesters storm parliament over vote-rigging claims
Protestors in Kyrgyzstan calling for the country's parliamentary election to be annulled have broken into parliament in the capital, Bishkek.
Footage showed people throwing papers from the building's windows, while others were seen entering the office of President Sooronbai Jeenbekov.
The break-in follows a day of clashes with police, who initially dispersed crowds with water cannon and tear gas.
The clashes come amid allegations of vote-rigging in last Sunday's election.
Following the vote, only four parties out of 16 passed the 7% threshold for entry into parliament, three of which have close ties to President Jeenbekov.

Do you have any idea how offensive this is?
100,000,000 dead in the 20th Century under Socialism and ethic cleansing still being practiced by the CCP. The clear distinction between Fascism and Socialism is that socialist expansionism is "internationalism", not "nationalism" because that would be "fascist". A small mercy when the tanks of an occupying force amass on your borders. I know Socialists don't like facts but has it occurred to you that you may as well be linking Stormfront?

You seem to be under the delusion that voting for the Tarded RUMP that Republicans nominated will somehow save you from fascism.
It won't.

No, the Britannia article is written by a commie-sympathizing sophist desperate to distinguish that murderous Socialist ideology from another murderous Socialist ideology.
Saint-Simon and early utopian socialists never called for public ownership, just public control through central planning. Industrialists surrendering control to the state (Ein Volk) is entirely socialist, more the pity that the author of your article doesn't understand it as such.
The Nazis thought differently and conflict theory (class struggle) is a Marxist concept, not a Socialist one.
The Krasnaya Gvardiya were the model for Squadrismo and the Schutzstaffel - the Cheka for the Gestapo where a majority (70%) were former communists (nazi rindersteak).
Good thing communists never murdered their political opponents otherwise we couldn't write this simple minded garbage off as the "not real socialism" argument.

The Gestapo was part of the SS which was originally under the command of the SA who wanted it disbanded. The SS then supplanted the SA, placing former Freikorps members into leadership roles. Not all members of the Gestapo were members of the SS but many SS and Gestapo members had belonged to the SA.
It must take tremendous effort to willfully misunderstand Nazi ideology. [creativitypost.com] You live in a state of denial.
