Very scary op-ed on Little Green Footballs's article on forced labor in Hungary.
Edited on Tue Aug-30-11 10:33 AM by AverageJoe90
This comes straight from Dave Emory's site:
http://spitfirelist.com/news/another-sign-of-the-times-hungarian-government-implements-forced-labor-program/

Please, if you know anyone in Europe, send this to them ASAP, they need to be informed, due to the mass surge of extreme right-wing power over there as of late.

Edit: Here was Emory's comment on the situation, btw: "COMMENT: The right wing gov­ern­ment of Hun­gary con­tin­ues to man­i­fest pro­grams and ide­o­log­i­cal pro­nounce­ments dis­turbingly rem­i­nis­cent of that country’s past–a fas­cist nation allied with the Axis in World War II.

Under the stew­ard­ship of the Arrow Cross orga­ni­za­tion, Hun­gary fought along­side Nazi Ger­many and was an enthu­si­as­tic par­tic­i­pant in Hitler’s social agenda as well.

Now that nation has imple­mented a forced labor pro­gram for its large, grow­ing num­ber of unem­ployed workers.

Will the U.S. will undergo some­thing sim­i­lar in the not too dis­tant future? If the GOP gets back into power, that is a pos­si­bil­ity that should not be too read­ily dismissed.

After all, the Repub­li­cans have already demon­strated their implaca­ble hos­til­ity toward those col­lect­ing unem­ploy­ment ben­e­fits and social secu­rity. Con­struct­ing a forced labor pro­gram wouldn’t be all that much of a reach for the GOP.

In that con­text, one should not for­get that the GOP’s Eth­nic out­reach orga­ni­za­tion was crafted under the stew­ard­ship of Las­zlo Pasz­tor, a vet­eran of the Arrow Cross. That orga­ni­za­tion has been well rep­re­sented within the Repub­li­can eth­nic out­reach milieu."

Would the GOP really consider such a tragic imposition on people's liberties? Your thoughts, please.

1. Had McDrool and Palid won, we would have hung dead or alive posters for illegals
and forced all the unemployed to work the fields. It is still the game plan. The poor will be designated to stay that way.
