What?

I don't really associate either Capitalistic or Monarchistic preferences with Fascism. I would think that Fascism is "Corporatist" almost by definition. I can't think of a Fascist regime that took a highly positive view of any monarch other than Japan. Whether Post-Meiji Japan qualifies as Fascistic is a bit of an open question.

Let me elaborate: I would like a capitalist economy, fascist social policies, and a Catholic monarch who is crowned by the Pope

...nobody cares

sound of crickets

I want world peace :)

...but cypeg, you are so good at war!

I like beer, but not that fruity stuff that Tom drinks

Ruffhaus, we're talking about some serious world stuff here. If you cannot contribute, then please stay out of the thread.
OK, so, sbyvl is voting for a hippie holocaust (sorry, only 1 vote counts). All those in favor, say "yea".

I prefer an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

oh, there he goes again..

Lol, Americans talking about "beer" ;)

I like Troegs Hopback Amber
...and yes I AM serious about it, it doesn't taste fruity at all, it does have some hint of grapefruit thanks to the Cascade hops but that's a hop-characteristic and not a "fruit flavor" by any means. Ruffhaus drinks PBR and thinks it's awesome because manly beer must taste like crap, the crappier it is, the manlier it is! And should we mention any FLAVOR, well that means it must be girly girl beer!?

and how does it relate to the topic?
Pro Capitalists like craft beers
Semi Fascist's prefer Crap Macro Brews
Monarchs, well THEY prefer wine!
See, we did stay on topic

....and people that don't give a shit about politics drink whiskey

I don't drink, so what am I?

Nothing alcoholic that is. I'll take an apple juice all day ;-)

pothead

If I say I'm a communist, does that mean I get the good vodka?

ask your government

Hey Raro, what's more serious than beer?

Given my choice, I like German beers. They mastered the art of brewing, and everyone else pales in comparison, even Tom's beloved "craft" brewers, most of whoim ahave been in business less than five years, and will not be in business five yearsfrom now because their product sucks. I don't drink PBR, Tom. I never said that that I drink it or like it. Never. But never let the facts get int he way of a good story. You do recommend and advocate many fruity beers, which are simply a joke. The bigger joke is that you fancy yourself as some expert on the subject. What I really love about Tom is that he flat out denies something, and then in the very next sentence admits to what he just denied.

well regrettably I agree with you Ruffhaus. Call me apathetic, but I like all beers (except the fruity ones).

@Raro: I do not approve of genocide in any way, shape, or form

German beer for the win woohoo :D
@Shep you gotta be Russian for that ;)

I like beer that tastes good, but I prefer the hard stuff. I handed out enough Famous Grouse at the last election to get two stints in the castle in back-to-back weeks.

Nobody has mastered brewing. New and better stuff is constantly being created all the boundaries are being pushed. It's a great time to become a beer snob.

You should consider renaming yourself "Jimboozeg" :DD

who said I was an expert? Only one person claims I say so, what I AM an expert n is what I like. I prefer American craft beers, hops are all the rage in that scene and I happen to enjoy a nice hoppy brew. German beers are fine, my favorite German styles are Octoberfest and Kolsch, both are very very good!

I may not be an expert but I DO know my beer while Ruffy can complain about that, he simply has not developed a palate to appreciate the finer things in life such as a fine beer!

and hops that impart a citrus sense to the flavor are NOT "fruit flavored" beers, claiming they are ...shows ones ignorance, just throw back a PBR in it's can, burp afterwards and claim you know everything.... not a chance!

The Nazis adopted "natalist" social policies which were not particularly "conservative". Producing more children of a certain type by any means necessary included organized rape and group home models of child rearing. The Nazis had a reasonably well documented attractiveness to homosexuals, and I believe that Goebbels was the only prodigious family man among the leadership. I do not believe that Mussolini implemented anything like what I presume you have in mind given his at best ambivalent attitude towards the Catholic Church and its teachings. Perhaps you mean "Falangist" social policies?

@gopher: Hitler had a long-term woman at his side, whom he married at the end...Göring and Himmler both had families too...gay people were sent to concentration camps...

Concerning beer: it's all about the Reinheitsgebot!

You maybe meant Ernst Röhm, leader of the SA, but he was killed in '34 (also) because of his homosexuality...

"child rearing" ...that's gross

Ernst Roehm had a pretty large group around him, and he was the #2 within the movement. His being a foci of "Left-wing Naziism" and his picking fights with the landowning, Junker aristocrats that still ran the German General Staff had much more to do with his being killed than his penchant for buggery, which was never a secret. I actually had the Philip Johnsons of the world in mind. Johnson's excuse for his being drawn to Naziism was the pervasiveness of "blonde boys in black leather." Goebbels had 7 children. Himmler and Goering did not. I'm reasonably certain that a long term mistress is not what was in mind when "Fascist social policies" were referenced.

...let's get back to beer :P
