"Answer me this:
Is his desire to take over the auto industry radical?
Is his desire to take over the healthcare industry radical?
Is his desire to eliminate media which is not echoing his approved party line radical?"

If the first of those were true, it might reasonably be classified as radical. ...
Nationalized health care is SOP in industrialized countries.


The countries with socialized medicine are going away from it. They seem to think it is ineffective. In Iraq it was SOP to rape and murder for the pleasure of the rulers and to maintain fear. So according to your argument it is not radical. Sorry, your argument fails.

As for going after the media, that's common around the world and across the political spectrum. Likewise, anything in common practice cannot be radical.

So depravity is ok as long as a few people are doing it. Gotcha.

I still hold out hope for you. Your arguments sound like the ones that must have been common to justify what was happening in Germany during the 1930's.
