Can you put a description with the video? I can't open it on my phone.

May as well put the link then, if that works for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVcY7tplpUE

>Believes the Nazi's are left-wing

It's also worth pointing out he broke up with that lover you showed in the video a few years ago, at least according to ED. Honestly doubting he's actually a husband and father given his attitude, but stranger things have happened.

Right-Wing idiots have been trying to pawn off Fascism as a Left Wing idea for years. It's kind of sad. Fascism embraces many of the most core tenets of the Right, namely nationalism and the rejection of egalitarianism.

I suppose there is a rough similarity with Leftists who deny Stalinist Russia was Communist but they don't deny it was Left Wing, they just say it was an aberration. If the Right would just admit Fascism was a similar distortion, it be a mor acceptable position.

Fascism in its original form (1910s Italy) was unmistakably left-wing, opposed to capitalism, monarchy and the clergy.

The original Fascist Manifesto demanded universal suffrage (including for women), an end to conscription, a minimum wage and reduced retirement age. These are left-wing proposals and the fascist economic policy of "corporatism" wasn't what American liberals caricature it as ("Fascism means rule by the corporations! No Fascist USA!"), but a system roughly analogous to social democracy, and one that was put in place by the post-War Labour government in Britain.

Italian Fascism drifted to the right for a number of reasons but mostly because the chaotic environment it was born into allowed a charismatic figure like Mussolini to craft it into whatever it needed to be to win (pro-worker when necessary, anti-worker when necessary, pro-monarchy when necessary, anti-monarchy when necessary).

This pattern then saw repetition in Britain, when Oswald Mosley (a left-wing Labour MP) tried to create a new party to combat what we were seen by many figures on the left as the total capitulation of the, then, Labour government to the business establishment. One recurrent theme in most fascist movements, has been a struggle between the more conservative and radical members.

So, saying that fascism is an exclusively right-wing phenomenon just seems rather weird to me. Would you call the Montoneros right-wing? What about the Strasserists?

So i've received comments, some telling me that i cherry picked some of his stuff, others are just ad hominem attacks.

I sometimes feel guilt for making this video but what else can i do?

I wouldn't feel guilt for making it at all. Like you said, Razorfish can't take criticism anyway, and most of his fans don't have much in the way of arguments either. I wouldn't take them seriously in the least.

Italian Fascism was closely tied to the Futurists, a group of guys who masturbated to war and a mythologized past .That's very much Right Wing. I am unaware of any type of Fascism that is separate from extreme nationalism and that can only lead to violence, which indeed happened in every Fascist regime.

Fascists in Italy got popular by mercilessly beating up and killing Communists as far as I know.

As for the original Fascist Manifesto, the NSDAP Point Programme says all citizens should have equal rights. We judge not by what people say but what they do.

As for the Strassers...I'm not too sure, honestly.

You're mixing and matching history to make it fit your definition. Fasicst anti-strike action occurred after "Biennio Rosso" as the group drifted to the right, since their idiosyncratic extreme left-wing platform couldn't find electoral success.

During WW 1, the fascists believed the War would lead to the radical transformation of society and the dissolution of the monarchy. The idea that being pro-War is strictly right-wing, again, doesn't make sense. Consider the position of the communists - who opposed fighting Nazi Germany (and even supported the joint invasion of Poland) only to turn into massive warhawks after "Operation Barbarossa".

Fascism is a syncretic ideology, with bits and pieces of left-wing and right-wing politics stitched on. Which, again, accounts for groups like Montoneros and the Black Front.

Ok, i may have made a few mistakes like that Sarkeesian Part and saying he's desperate for that "(((alt-right))) popularity", as one commenter said in nazi quotations.

Wait, i'm still not sure if he's a closeted fascist or not.

It really doesn't matter. Whether he's a Useful Idiot like Sargon or Dave Rubin or an actual Nazi, he's still part of the problem.

He also likes Dennis Miller, which is a crime.

Well, if you actually have to ask yourself that...

This guy reminds me a lot of moviebob, just with a radically different perspective:

Both do the whole, "fast talking guy with a lot of big words and occasional obscenity" thing, both have their own pet-peeves and fanboyisms which heavily influence their likes and dislikes, both are pretty articulate and get their points across rather well and both have a habit of considering the wider implications and context of the things they discuss.

I will say Razorfist is funnier though.

So on a less-controversial note, anyone know what the next Metal Mythos/Music Mythos vid is going to be about? I seem to recall him mentioning somewhere that he had an episode of Prince pretty much done, but he was holding back on releasing it so as not to be seen as "cashing in" on Prince's death.

That's like saying barf jokes are funnier than poop jokes

He did post a Sodom song or two on twitter, so my money's on that.

If MauLer is Moviebob's antithesis (slow and overly long instead of fast talking and consise), Razorfist is more like Bob's Evil Twin.
