Anti-Nazism Resolution Passes In UNGA, Despite US And Ukraine Opposition

Interesting how so many European countries abstained.

Well, Hitler himself drew inspiration from pure racist ideology of the Southern USA and British Empire. So - no surprise here.

This was thoroughly described by Emanuel Sarkisyanz in his book Hitler's English Inspirers. Below some extracts from this book:

"Lord Alfred Milner, High Commissioner in South Africa, insisted, "it is the British race* which built the Empire…, British race which can alone uphold it….[,] the bond of common blood”.1 And there is nothing new in documenting Hitler’s "predilection, indeed, veneration for England [and his] resulting mockery of independence aspirations in India".ii That Hitler’s admiration for England was racist is common knowledge (now becoming uncommon)"

"National Socialist Germany was a genocidal state… [British] Australia was a genocidal society". In the English sphere—and not only in its settlement colonies— the pressure of society is stronger, the pressure of the state is weaker, than in that of Germany. The extermination of the Australian aborigines was not ordered by a government but occurred spontaneously. Although Hitler very much desired his Germans to develop precisely such a spontaneous "race instinct", Rubinstein rightly makes the distinction: "the destruction of the aborigines… of 2. Australia was an unintended consequence of state policy"—unlike the extermination of the victims of Nazism, which was fully intended and ordered by Hitler. Still, it was "the very success of earlier genocidal societies [that] invited repetition by Hitler and systematic execution"iib by his state—explicitly because he did not trust the "race instincts" of German society."

"In Germany the Hitlerite past remains incomparably more of an issue than does the past of the Imperial Race in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Thus, British findings have provided the author with the first bases for the theme of this book: It is in British sources that insights into the English origins of some of the ideas which formed Hitler’s principal inspiration—from Britain’s Social Darwinism to Thomas Carlyle’s hatred of Democracy— are spelled out. This is illustrated by the following examples: Richard Thurlow confirmed that British "national culture did have importance in helping to develop Fascist ideas in Europe, ….Nazi racism and imperialism". "Britain’s impact on continental fascism… helped produce the fascist synthesis…, particularly in Germany."

"It was the view in Hitler’s Germany that educationally the NAPOLAs aimed "at training the future Führers [Führernachwuchs]”, and that these were “definitely schools for the Elite, like the Public Schools in England."ii A Nazi educational theorist, Theodor Wilhelm, promised but a little later that "in a few years we will have equalled the British Public Schools":445 The leader of Hitler’s Reich Organizations, Robert Ley, preferred this British model to the Prussian military cadet training institutions—as, "with its Etons England has built up a world empire".454 Typically, Nazi educators emphasized that the objective of "a Public School like, for instance, Eton, ‘a stronghold of good English tradition’, was… to train ‘a type of Führer [Führertypus]’ which… rules England and the English Empire"

"Actually Hitler himself claimed, as early as 1935: “Only I generate the brutality to press forward towards a goal, as Englishmen do”. And, that English was the language “of a ruthless act of will”

"(...) in Hitler’s Germany, “Cecil Rhodes was the subject of… books, whose titles clearly reveal the nature of the attraction held for Nazi readers: ‘The Conqueror’; ‘For a greater Fatherland, or the Dream of World Domination’”. That “Hitler had long regarded the British Empire as the exemplar for the Third Reich’s hoped-for expansion” (as that Cambridge University publication formulates it), has been far more obvious than is now remembered."

"the British national character—attracted such Nazi German sympathies, as a reminder of their common racial basis.xi So marked was this feature that the Old Testament (indeed, so to speak, the Neo-Judaic) character of English post-Puritan “patriotism…, the belief that the English were the elected nation, that ‘God is English’”* (Raphael Samuel), by no means detracted from Nazi aspirations to emulate England and share in this source of superiority feelings."

“The extremes to which England was prepared to go to empty Ireland of its original inhabitants became clear during the famine years of 1846-1848. The relief given by the English government to the Irish… was deliberately kept at levels guaranteed to produce the resultant demographic changes… [which were ]welcomed by the leading members of England’s society and government[:] The deaths by famine and emigration did… clear land of uneconomic subsistence producers… for rationalized agricultural enterprise"

"By 1850 the Edinburgh Professor of Anatomy, Robert Knox, was not only attributing to the Irish a series of qualities incompatible with middle-classness. He presented as science the view that in Ireland, “the source of all evil lies in the race, the Celtic race of Ireland…. The race must be forced from the soil; ….they must leave. England’s safety requires it”. For “human character is traceable solely to the nature of… race”"

"In England, not only was the ethos of Imperialism pervasive in all the media in its heyday, “There was no anti-imperialism in popular culture”, according to John MacKenzie. “Criticism [of Imperialism] was muted; parodies were self-mocking” in the Music Halls. Even during the 1930s, as John Julius Norwich recalled: “Empire was all around us, …part of the fabric of our lives. We were all imperialists then…” Even after the Great War, “it was still possible for the British to retain a world view embracing their unique imperial status, …racial superiority, and a common ground of national conceit on which most could agree…. By clearly delineating the attributes of the British ‘race’, the writers of juvenile fiction placed other races firmly beyond the pale". In fact, even an Oxford professor, James Anthony Froude, opposed protecting Africans against slavery."

"(...) quotations from Sir Charles W. Dilke and Herbert G. Wells respectively: “Naked barbarians [are]… safe only from extermination because the European cannot dwell permanently in the climate of their land [India]“; “There is only one sane and logical thing to be done with a really inferior race, and that is to exterminate it”

why did US vote against it ? ?

IMO US want to poison Russia with nazism (which is anglo-saxon ideology) like US poisoned Germany in 1930s (Hitler was founded by USA and England) and the Ukraine in 1990s and later (nazi Banderovites are founded by USA). Just look what kind of people US support in Russia:

Alexei Navalny who compares people from the Caucasus to cockroaches is US favourite. US propaganda even call him "anti-corruption campaigner" lol. Just imagine what harm could anglo-saxon ideology like nazism potentialy do to multi-ethnic country like Russia. US want to strengthen nazism in the Ukraine and export it to Russia. But I don't think US will succeed in poisoning Russia.

That's the point of the resolution. It is to limit the freedom of expression to be a Nazi, limit the freedom of association with Nazis, and limit right to peaceful assembly of Nazis. If you have a problem with that then there really isn't much to discuss.

US regime wants freedom of expression for the nazis. US regime doesn't want freedom of expression for dissidents and whistleblowers like Assange or Snowden

Dude America will never be nazi at home but they will not mind supporting Nazi in your backyard. Everyone that voted trump was not a racist. People outside of the United States don't understand that. Trump is a reaction to internal politics in the US. It is not all about race and it's definitely not about Nazism.
Nazi is just a label. It is the ideology that the world should fear and unfortunately, the Ideology is very much still alive all over the world. Two big examples are the Jews themselves and the Hindus in India.

What do you think the "refugee" crisis was designed to do in Europe? People that run the world are much smarter than you and I and they think 20-30 years ahead. Right now the public opinion is being more and more polarized. It is only a matter of time before the pipe will burst and some crazy government will come into power.

I cant comment on that, we dont know what future holds but any kind of racism or extremism will be bad for any country or society , and it will have Global consequences .
