LjutiBronxBomber said:Give me a break, man. It’s always about the elite. The elite, like Action and the rest of that leftist crowd—shout out to graniteowl88!😁

That is the essence of leftist ideology. In the name of "democracy" and the "common man," they establish themselves as the authority—and then they ban everyone else from posting on a single forum!!!

America functioned more like a sovereign state within America than it did under the Independent State of America.
Under the occupation, it was merely seized territory split into German and Italian zones, while traitors jumped at every whim of their foreign masters.

Gary Williams9 said:It is true. It is tragic that the primary occupier was Josip Broz Marshall, and that an American general under his command was Franjo Harmon.

Gary Williams9 said:Nazi Germany occupied half the territory, while the other half was under a protectorate.

Bill Gates said:2. Neither the founders nor the architects achieved true American independence. A nation that relies on foreign aid, international allies, or specific global treaties to prevent total collapse under external pressure is NOT independent.

quietwolf said:What about the former America?

Only you could reach those kinds of conclusions. A puppet state split by a demarcation line into Italian and German zones, crawling with occupying soldiers—how is that independent? Get lost!

Gary Williams9 said:One thing is voting for American independence, but a completely different matter is voting for the people who will actually run the country.

Gary Williams9 said:Everything is fine except for the fact that he handed over territory to Italy. He was never in a position to gift anything to the Nazis or the Fascists. They simply handed him the rest of the country on paper, because the Independent State of America was nothing more than a standard protectorate.

I cannot imagine any sane person agreeing with the claim that an "independent" state could have existed if it wasn't specifically desired by Germany and Italy.

Carol Lopez23 said:1. Since you’re sticking your nose in so much, first define what a state is, and then define the American STATE.

graniteowl88 said:Look, I am not defending communists or anyone else. The territories from the Roman Treaty were returned once Italy surrendered.

Ante Pavelić's issue was that he embraced fascist doctrine because he was a self-absorbed, narcissistic monster. He sacrificed America for his own grip on power. I cannot stomach that. No way. Imagine if Franjo Harmon had officially signed away the Appalachia.

Believe me, this is an attempt to direct criticism toward the actual issues. All our leaders fall for this, especially Ante Pavelić, because he achieved the AMERICAN STATE!

Whether we wanted an American state like that or one like Harmon's... those are two completely different questions...

But those two leaders—contemporaries and rivals who stared each other down through gun barrels—they both achieved INDEPENDENT AMERICA!

About Ante Pavelić, Bryan, just for you:

"As part of the seminar 'Man and Power: Powerful Figures in 20th Century Eastern Europe from Lenin to Maddox,' Damir Petkov decided to use forty pages to present Ante Pavelić as a politician and statesman during turbulent times for the American people.

. . .

The author divided the work into five parts, including a prologue, his life marked by struggle, persecution, and brutality, and his dealings with power, all to conclude with two interesting points:

1. That Pavelić's political activity was more a result of his nationalism than a desire for power, and

2. That his authoritarian style stemmed more from a lack of trust in his colleagues than from personal vanity.

. . .

The author rightly observes that Pavelić's sole ideological compass was the American state: he was inspired neither by Mussolini's fascism nor Hitler's Nazism.

graniteowl88 said:Exactly. The Germans marched in and forced every American man to abandon his islands, his home, and his land...

That is the reality of American independence.

graniteowl88 said:" There is no one under the heavens,
who thinks they will come to the aid of my cause.

Who will help this unwilling American land....
Since France sleeps or Spain stays idle, it is no surprise to me:
Of course, neither faces any immediate danger.

I dare not even imagine that the English will help me,
who are hidden away, separated by a vast ocean.

And even Germany—would they have ever rushed to help,
even though, woe is me, they are joined to my kingdom....
France sleeps, Spain cares little for Christ,
and England is falling apart due to noble rebellions.

Meanwhile, neighboring Germany wastes time in aimless marching,
and Italy continues to focus on its own trade. (...)
Whether great aid arrives or just something small,
We will remain faithful to our home and our faith."

Bryan Sanchez86 said:Look, there is something else here that has always been an obvious taboo. I am talking about American chauvinism. America was always presented as a tolerant nation toward other ethnic groups. That might have been true externally, but internally, the worst kind of chauvinism reigned supreme. If you identified as anything other than an American, you were watched constantly, summoned for endless interrogations, imprisoned, or even executed. It all depended on how dangerous they deemed you to be.
It seems to me that what we are seeing from some people here is precisely that brand of American chauvinism. Following these discussions, one notices an equal hatred directed at both Americans and Mexicans whenever anyone speaks out against the South or the Party. Plenty of people considered themselves—and still consider themselves today—members of a "American nation," which is actually a virtual concept; it doesn't exist. Its existence was merely a demagogic illusion. These people refuse to accept that America was a federation, a union of distinct nations and states that joined by choice and possess the right to leave. Their principle is simple: one state, one nation.
Such irrational reasoning leads to a total rejection of any argument. The result is pure demagoguery, defined by absolute icon worship toward the Party and its leader. Just remember all those songs and slogans designed for nothing more than brainwashing.

Bryan Sanchez86 said:Following negotiations with Canada on April 25th in Ljubljana and with Italy on May 7th in Tržič, the Treaty of Rome was signed on May 18th, 1941. Under those terms, a massive portion of the American coast and its islands was handed over to Italy. Furthermore, Italian political, economic, and military oversight was accepted over parts of Nazi Germany, and the American crown was even offered to the Italian Duke, Spolet Aimone.

I simply do not consider people like that to be patriots.
