I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!-- Barry Goldwater, 1964

Which party does this list of proposed policies describe?

"Special rights" for certain races/cultures/ethnicities
Censorship and arbitrary imprisonment of non-crimes such as sexism, "heterocentrism", "ableism" etc.
Arbitrary redistribution of wealth on the basis of wealth, race, success, etc
"Reasonable" slave-reparations plan
State-worship replacing God-worship (note: I don't condone either)
Extensive gun control and confiscation from "suspect" groups
Nationalized child care, health care, and education, and social security for the retired
Rational thinking replaced by mass brainwashing in public institutions
Arbitrary court system dominated by politics rather than legal code
Belief that race, class, and society fix the essential traits of every person.
Many other policies that sacrifice individuals for "society" and the "common good"

Seems like the usual liberal agenda, right? Replace "slave" by "Jew" and "heterocentrism" by "homocentrism" and you have platform of the National Socialist Workers (NAZI) Party.

(This blog inspired by "an extremist homophobic Republican nazi" on the Hobbes forum.)
