Nazi progressivism borrowed heavily from earlier American progressivism. Joseph Goebbels was using Edward Bernay's book "Crystallizing public Opinion" as a model for manipulating the German people against the Jews.
Goebbels was using my book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me. ... Obviously the attack on the Jews of Germany was no emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a deliberate, planned campaign.
-Edward Bernays.
Bernays was one of the top propagandists who worked for Woodrow Wilson along with Walter Lippman and George Creel on the Creel Committee on public information.

So now what somebody writes in a letter is considered news?

“Bernays was one of the top propagandists who worked for Woodrow Wilson”
Whose uncle was Sigmund Freud.

Yup. Several of the progressives of the day were relatives of Freud.

The Letter - WSJ 01/24/14
VVVVV
Regarding your editorial “Censors on Campus” (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its “one percent,” namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the “rich.”
From the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich embedded in virtually every word of our local newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, I perceive a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent. There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them. We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these “techno geeks” can pay. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a “snob” despite the millions she has spent on our city’s homeless and mentally ill over the past decades.
This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent “progressive” radicalism unthinkable now?
Tom Perkins
San Francisco
Mr. Perkins is a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
^^^^^
KPCB is a venture capital firm founded in 1972 and Mr Perkins was a cofounder in this highly successful firm. The firm has already released a statement disavowing his views as not being that of the company as a whole. I presume he has been dis-invited from all social gatherings for speaking truth to power!

I know they must lurk.
I’ve been using the term “Kapo” to describe people like John McCain and lo and behold, Grover Al Norquist complained about comments like calling upstanding republicans kapos.

However, Perkins is also 82 years old, and a spokesperson distanced the firm from him in a tweet: Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB for years. We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree. Perkins and KPCB now appear to have fundamentally split from each other.
As for his former firms reaction to his comments in the Wall Street Journal, Perkins said our philosophies and strategies have drifted so far apart that now my name means little on the door.

The Occupy Wall Street list of demands was a near perfect match for the official Nazi party planks.
Free school, free medical, a national fair and equitable wage.......
A few quotes from German Labor Front leader under Hitler (Robert Ley)
Workers of all lands, unite to smash the rule of English capitalism! You young upward-striving nations of the earth, combine to annihilate the old English dragon who blocks the treasures of the earth and withholds from you the riches of the world.
Yes, you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune!
We National Socialists have monopolized all resources and all our energies during the past seven years so as to be able to be equipped for the supreme effort of battle.
We believe on this earth in Adolf Hitler alone! We believe in National Socialism as the creed which is the sole source of grace! We believe that Almighty God has sent us Adolf Hitler so that he may rid Germany of the hypocrites and Pharisees.

Tom Perkins on rationed health care in relation to his own prostate cancer:
"Happily, the cancer has been knocked off its feet...
"Life is full of ironies. The PSA test was developed by a Kleiner & Perkins company, Hybritech, in the mid 1970s. How happy I am that Eugene Kleiner and I backed that effort so long ago...
"It's hard to avoid a political aside, so I won't try. A healthy market-driven free economy leads to innovation and the development of breakthroughs, like the PSA test. A highly taxed and highly regulated economy leads to "Death Panels," like the U.S. Preventative Health Service."
From an op/ed in the Wall Street Journal, Prostate Testing and the Death Panel

i like this Perkins fellow :)
