The Fox News Professor of Practical Dementia delivered a particularly thought provoking lecture today on his radio university. I dare you to make sense of it:

Glenn Beck: This is the oldest argument in the progressive movement. It is the argument between, not state capitalism, because this isn’t capitalism.

This is a new sort of capitalism. No it’s not! It is socialism. No, it’s state capitalism. No it’s not! Put the Thesaurus down. It is socialism, not capitalism.


And when you say “state” you mean “national.” National Socialism. That is what Mussolini and Hitler did. National Socialism. State Capitalism. They’ve changed the name...

Beck muddles definitions of capitalism, socialism, and communism beyond recognition

But Beck's logic is flawless.

State = National.

Capitalism = Socialism.

Thus State Capitalism = National Socialism.

Ergo Progressives are Nazis.

It works with anything.

Try it yourself with...say...Furry Kittens.

Furry = National.

Kittens = Socialism.

Thus Furry Kittens = National Socialism.

There you have it. Unassailable evidence that furry kittens are Nazis.

See, it works for EVERYTHING!
