"During
Wednesday's debate, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky a "Nazi."
Not sparing harsh
words for the Ukrainian government, the businessman and ardent critic of
Ukraine gave several reasons why, in his opinion, Kyiv is
"undemocratic".
"Ukraine is
not the embodiment of democracy," said V. Ramaswamy. - This is a country
that banned 11 opposition parties. It consolidated all media companies into one
state television. It is undemocratic. Ukraine has threatened not to hold
elections this year if the United States does not provide more money. It's
undemocratic."
"This
country worships a Nazi, a comedian who wears pants with big pockets, a man
named Zelensky. It is undemocratic,” he continued.
V. Ramaswamy is
one of the most critical of Ukraine's candidates for the post of American president
and calls on the US to end aid to Ukraine. Last month, he proposed a foreign
policy plan that would require Ukraine to cede some territory to Russia to end
the conflict."
That Mr. Zelensky is a Jew, ,
"is of no use here"as Miss Grybauskaitė says. "Adolf Hitler had
Jewish and African ancestors, according to a recent DNA study by Belgian
researchers." Below is a definition of Nazism,
with those features of Nazism highlighted that match Mr. Zelensky's behavior:
"Nazism is the
common name for National Socialism, is the far-right totalitarian
political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany. During Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Europe,
it was frequently referred to as Hitlerism (German: Hitlerfaschismus). The
later related term "neo-Nazism" is applied to other far-right groups
with similar ideas which formed after the Second World War.
“Nazism is a form of fascism, with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates a dictatorship, anti-communism, anti-Slavism, scientific
racism, white supremacy, Nordicism,
social Darwinism and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism originated in
pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist Völkisch movement which had been a
prominent aspect of German ultranationalism since the late 19th century. Nazism
was strongly influenced by the Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after
Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's underlying "cult of violence". It
subscribed to pseudo-scientific theories of a racial hierarchy, identifying ethnic Germans as part of what the
Nazis regarded as an Aryan or Nordic master race.[12] Nazism sought to overcome
social divisions and create a homogeneous German society based on racial purity which represented a people's community
(Volksgemeinschaft). The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans living in
historically German territory, as well as gain additional lands for German
expansion under the doctrine of Lebensraum and exclude those whom they deemed either Community Aliens or
"inferior" races (Untermenschen).
The term "National Socialism" arose out of
attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of socialism, as an alternative
to both Marxist international socialism and free-market capitalism. Nazism
rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed
cosmopolitan internationalism, and sought
to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal
interests to the "common good", accepting political interests as the
main priority of economic organization, which tended to match the general
outlook of collectivism or communitarianism rather than economic socialism.
In Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"), published in 1925–1926, Hitler
outlined his disdain for representative
democracy, over which he proposed the Führerprinzip (leader principle), and his
belief in Germany's right to territorial expansion through lebensraum.”
