| | Re: SVP exposed in Basel | Quote: | |  | | | I'm just fed up with all the posters no matter which party. I really do not think slapping hundreds of posters of some ugly mug will convince someone to vote or vote for a person.
And please no more junk mail. | | | | | Good luck with that... |

| | Re: SVP exposed in Basel | Quote: | |  | | | But the policies of the SVP are really similar to the Nazi party. I don't think the thread is about graffiti but that the graffiti is bang on. | | | | | Enough with this crap. Do you even have the slightest clue of what you're on about?
Have you actually ever read the SVP's campaign issues?
Time to get out from under your rock and into the real world, Switzerland doesn't tolerate extreme political idealogies and nor do we have any parties that extoll Nazi policies.

| | Re: SVP exposed in Basel | Quote: | |  | | | An interesting perspective. From an ideological perspective only, what differences to you see between the SVP and the Nazi Party of, say 1929. | | | | | You're trolling right?
- The SVP wants Switzerland to stay out of foreign wars (and is the only major party to do so)
- The SVP wants to allow the people to vote over more issues, not less.
- The SVP is against sacrificing democratic rights to a European super-state (and is the only major party to be unambiguously so)
- The SVP has Jewish members
- The SVP has openly gay members, including MPs.
over to you.

Looking at the original poster..It looks like it is dumped at the side of the road. Is that allowed? I cant dump my rubbish so why can they?

| | Re: SVP exposed in Basel | Quote: | |  | | | I saw the same thing on a CVP poster (and it was a woman candidate). | | | | | | Quote: | |  | | | If many pictures had been defaced then discussing why someone would feel strongly enough to deface them would be a valid topic of conversation, yes. It could also attract other bitches to the faith. | | | | | When I drop off packets of nappies or baby wipes at the nursery, as well as scrawling my kid's name on the packet, I usually add a beard and glasses to the photo of the baby on the packet.
I'm not trying to prove a point, it just amuses me for a few seconds.
I think we're looking at the same thing here.

Umm no differences yet

If there is any good rhetoric out there it must be a well kept secret.
Or am I missing the sublimal message in the OP's photo? |

The Nazi's had their shot and blew it. You can't have a gas chamber, try and take over the world, or draw a caricature of a Jew anymore. If you want your country to be essentially racially and linguistically pure you have to use a little misdirection.

- genocide
- eugenics or social Darwinism

- the intimidation of other parties through violence

See Texaner, logic. This is why I like you. My comments below: | Quote: | |  | | | I can name a handful of what I think are substantial differences, even if not all purely 'ideological' or from '1929' only (what magic connection between the present and 1929 justifies the otherwise arbitrary filter?)...
The SVP does not advocate - siting Jewry as the cause for their country's woes no, they pick others. If Jews were just a scapegoat, then it just has to be somebody, the "who" isn't intrinsic to the ideology
- genocide No longer possible, see my previous post, pragmatism reigns
- eugenics or social Darwinism As above, pragamism
- regional expansion for the sake of 'Lebensraum' They mainly got it, Bavaria and Austria
- militarism for old (a la S.A., S.S.) and young (a la Hitlerjugend) alike Again, they're already there. Ever seen shooting season?
- the intimidation of other parties through violence no really ideological

| | | | | If you're going to be that broad, then the test could work with virtually any party. Let's look at the Greens:
- scapegoats = industry, banks, the rich, the other political parties, their political oponents in general.
- regional expansion = being pro-EU
- militarism and militarist youth organisations = sympathise with anti-globalist demonstrators
etc
Works for almost very party. Even the Pirate Party.

I think that every party should put on their Plakate anything legal and the rest is just part of the political debate. But I must admit that I find this one "alteration" really cleverly done:
