On Chris Calcino
Wow, Chris Calcino (CP, 12/01), what part of “socialist” in “National-Socialist” makes you think “far-right”? The only difference between WWII’s fascists and communists is that Hitler knew companies run better with the original bosses in place, while Stalin replaced them with his own people. That’s it. They fought each other because socialists always end up fighting each other. It’s why socialism never works. Burn-out King, Manoora Chris Calcino, (CP, 12/01). Nazis were socialists. Socialists want to control everything. Hitler wanted to control everything. Same with Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao. Senator Anning is not a socialist. Therefore Anning cannot be a Nazi. History teacher, Freshwater Would someone please explain to Chris Calcino that Communists are the far-left of socialism and Nazis and Fascists are the far-right of socialism? Blaming Hitler on “right-wing capitalism” has been the biggest blame-shifting exercise in history. If we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. Tradie, Colorado Chris Calcino (CP, 12/01), you know that “Nazi” is short for National Socialist, right? The Nazis put animals and plants above humans, built windmills for electricity and tried to reduce the human population. I really don’t think Fraser Anning is anything like a Nazi or a Green, do you?

Police and authorities clubs and medical professionals don’t know how to stop people from dying of drug overdoses in clubs. The answer is easy and the trouble and expense involved is warranted. Test everyone coming through the door like the airport and arrest the culprits who sell and use drugs. Linda-Joy, Mooroobool IGA at Swallow St is the place to buy your lucky 100 million ticket this week by the friendliest staff in town. David Clapham, Woree Was a good night out at Cazalys Saturday night even though the Thunder got beat. Hopefully we get more decent cricket in the future, however they need to fix the scoreboard for cricket games. If you sit on the club side you were unable to read it. Hopefully that can be rectified between now and preferably a game next summer. Scottie, Bayview Heights The almighty dollars strikes again, previously viewed one day internationals of cricket are unavailable to the common everyday punters … had to watch it in a pub. Retro colours look good though! Declan, Cairns MGB, Kanimbla (CP, 12/01). Holden, Ford and other car manufacturers were subsidised by an LNP govt since 1948. Also clothing and others, it was the unions who demanded higher wages that made it impossible for them to be subsidised any longer! Robert, Earlville Channel 7 what happened to full coverage of cricket. First one dayer and it’s not telecast. Full coverage my fat … David, Holloways Beach
