Genocide Watch exists to predict, prevent, stop, and punish genocide and other forms of mass murder. We seek to raise awareness and influence public policy concerning potential and actual genocide. Our purpose is to build an international movement to prevent and stop genocide.
Vision
We address genocide as it is defined in the Genocide Convention: “the intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such.” We also address political mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and other genocide-like crimes. Genocide Watch is the Coordinating organization of The Alliance Against Genocide (AAG), an international coalition of organizations. The AAG aims to educate the general public and policy makers about the causes, processes, and warning signs of genocide; to create the institutions and political will to prevent and stop genocide; and to bring perpetrators of genocide to justice.
Objectives
Education
We work to raise consciousness of genocide as a global problem and to raise awareness of specific high-risk situations.
Prediction
Genocide Watch uses predictive models such as Dr. Gregory Stanton’s “The Ten Stages of Genocide” to analyze high risk situations for the purpose of education, policy analysis and advocacy. We monitor high risk areas, declare Genocide Watches, Warnings, and Emergencies, and recommend options for governments, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations to prevent genocide. Genocide Watch proposed and lobbied for creation of the United Nations Office of the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide and we send all of our reports to the Special Advisor, who is on our Board of Advisors.
Prevention
Using the resources of the members of the Alliance to Against Genocide, and other international organizations with on-the-ground field staff, Genocide Watch uses our understanding of the genocidal process to prepare options papers for policy makers, recommending specific actions to prevent genocide in high-risk areas.
Intervention
Once genocidal massacres have begun, intervention may be necessary to halt genocide. Genocide Watch coordinates work by the AAG to promote rapid response by the U.N., regional and authorized national forces, including effective mandates and funding, and the political will to intervene. We support creation of a standing U.N. Rapid Response Force under Articles 43 – 47 of the U.N. Charter.
Justice
In order to seek justice for victims and survivors, punish perpetrators, deter future genocides, and facilitate the transition from divided societies to peaceful coexistence, we support national justice systems, special national and international tribunals, The International Criminal Court, and truth and reconciliation commissions. |

I would say that American CONSERVATISM has accomplished a great deal on this list. With the help of Trump and the new Patriot Party the last few items on this list will be their priority. Ask ANYONE who has lived first hand through the HOLOCAUST about today's conservative movement and they will tell you they have seen this before.The

Without their revisionist lies, today's extreme radical kooky
right has nothing.
Fascism, Nazism and Conservatism
European fascism drew on existing anti-modernist
conservatism, and on the conservative reaction to communism
and 19th-century socialism. Conservative thinkers such as
historian Oswald Spengler provided much of the world view
(Weltanschauung) of the Nazi movement.
In Britain, the conservative Daily Mail enthusiastically
backed Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, and
part of the Conservative Party supported closer ties with
Nazi Germany.
When defeat in World War II ideologically and historically
discredited fascism, almost all Western conservatives tried
to distance themselves from it. Nevertheless, many post-war
Western conservatives continued to admire the Franco regime
in Spain, clearly conservative but also fascist in origin.
With the end of the Franco regime and Portugal's Estado Novo
in the 1970s, the relationship between conservatism and
classical European fascism was further weakened.
Militarism is perhaps the most striking similarity between
Fascism and contemporary American conservatism. Of course,
there are many liberals in America who support the military
and even call for increased military spending.
Even so, American liberals are traditionally more skeptical
of the military than American conservatives. It is often said
that Neoconservatives, like Hitler, see the military as a
paradigm for problem solving (even in situations that may
render militarism impractical or unethical).
The relationship of fascism to right-wing ideologies
(including some that are described as neo-fascist) is still
an issue for conservatives and their opponents. Especially in
Germany, there is a constant exchange of ideology and
persons, between the influential national-conservative
movement, and self-identified national-socialist groups. In
Italy too, there is no clear line between conservatives, and
movements inspired by the Italian Fascism of the 1920s to
1940s, including the Alleanza Nazionale which is member of
the governing coalition under premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Conservative attitudes to the 20th-century fascist regimes
are still an issue.
Under an ideological definition of Socialism, for example one
stating that only a system adhering to the principles of
Marxism can qualify as socialist there is a well-defined gap
between Nazism and socialism. Nazi leaders were opposed to
the Marxist idea of class conflict and opposed the idea that
capitalism should be abolished and that workers should
control the means of production. For those who consider class
conflict and the abolition of capitalism as essential
components of socialism, these factors alone are sufficient
to categorize "National Socialism" as non-socialist.
===
For socialists who consider democracy a core tenet of
socialism, Nazism is often seen as a polar opposite of their
views. Primo Levi argued that there was an important
distinction between the policies of Nazi Germany and those of
the Soviet Union or the People's Republic of China: while
they were all arguably totalitarian, and all had their idea
of what kind of parasitic classes or races society ought to
be rid of, Levi saw the Nazis assigning a place given by
birth (since one is born into a certain race), while the
Soviets and Chinese determined their enemies according to
their social position (which people may change within their
life). There are many other philosophical differences between
Nazism and Marxism. There were ideological shades of opinion
within the Nazi Party, particularly before their seizure of
power in 1933, but a central tenet of the party was always
the leader principle or Führerprinzip. The Nazi Party did not
have party congresses in which policy was deliberated upon
and concessions made to different factions. What mattered
most was what the leader, Adolf Hitler, thought and decreed.
Those who held opinions which were at variance with Hitler's
either learned to keep quiet or were purged, particularly
after 1933. This is compared to the behavior of certain
Communist states such as that of Stalin in the Soviet Union
or Mao Zedong in China. Critics of this view point out that
Mussolini imprisoned Antonio Gramsci from 1926 until 1934,
after Gramsci, a leader of the Italian Communist Party and
leading Marxist intellectual, tried to create a common front
among the political left and the workers, in order to resist
and overthrow fascism. Other Italian Communist leaders like
Palmiro Togliatti went into exile and fought for the Republic
in Spain.
-------------------------
The 2000 book, Right-Wing Populism in America, details its
history from Bacon's Rebellion to the Ku Klux Klan to the
modern-day Posse Comitatus and militia/Patriot movements.
What distinguishes these populists from their left-wing
counterparts, as Berlet explains, is that "they combine
attacks on socially oppressed groups with grassroots mass
mobilization and distorted forms of antielitism based on
scapegoating." Other notorious right wing figures in 20th
century history include Father Charles Coughlin, the rabid
anti-Semitic radio talker of the 1930s, and Sen. Joe
McCarthy.
Beyond the Klan, there were the Silver Shirts, the American
Nazi Party, the Posse Comitatus, the Aryan Nations, or the
National Alliance -- all of them openly right wing fascist
organizations, many of them involved in some of the nation's
most horrific historical events. (The Oklahoma City bombing,
for instance), then there was William Dudley Pelley, Gerald
L.K.Smith, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Potter Gale,
Richard Butler, and David Duke -- all of them bona fide right
wing racists and fascists.
"the Left" were the people who were beaten and murdered in
the 1920s by the squadristi and the Brownshirts; and the
first Germans sent off to Nazi concentration camps like
Dachau were not Jews but socialists, communists, and other
left-wing political prisoners, including "liberal" priests
and clerics.
Then why did the Nazis HATE Marxism, Communism, and
Socialism? Just how uneducated do you Conservative
propagandists assume we are? Everybody knows the Nazis were
right wingers.
From "World Book Encyclopedia", 1958, p. 5467:
The name National Socialist German Workers Party does not
correctly describe the Nazi movement. It was neither
socialist nor organized for the benefit of workers. The
name was apparently developed in an effort to win the
support of the working classes....
Nazism was only a part of of the broad social movement
known as Fascism which gained millions of supporters in
many countries during the 1930's....
The industrialists gave financial support to the party
because they thought the Nazis would protect them from
from socialism and communism, and from the increasing
strength of the labor unions.

"The [Nazi] party's socialist orientation was basically a
demagogic gambit designed to attract support from the
working class."
("Gambit;" From "legs." Something designed to trip up
another. Any maneuver by which one seeks to gain an
advantage.)
"By 1932 big-business circles had begun to finance the
Nazi electoral campaigns, and ...."
"Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the party came to
power in Germany in 1933 and governed by totalitarian....
Next year:
"Hitler crushed the Nazi Party's left, or
socialist-oriented,
wing in 1934, executing Ernst Röhm and other rebellious
SA leaders at this time. Thereafter, Hitler's word was
the supreme and undisputed command in the party."
===========
From the Concord Desk Encyclopedia, 1977, Fascism, p 455:
"It rejects...liberalism... and socialism. Instead it
promotes
an organic social order whereby the individual will find
his own place in family, profession and society
according to his character and ability. Nationalism and
militarism are its logical products and thus it has
close ties with Nazism. `Fascist` has become a term of
abuse for many because of the ugly aspects of fascism,
and is often used of anyone whose views are right wing.
