Who goes Nazi?

The United states of America.

[Travis McGee]

Dang, it took me half the essay to realize it wasn’t written today.

I was about to say that the most likely to “go Nazi” are the dedicated statist wannabee commissars and socialist overlords currently infesting the FedGov.

Imagine in an alternative universe the Nazis had not perpetrated the Holocaust. Except for the overt racism, what is left is pretty much what American statists are offering us.

The glaring spotlight of the Holocaust blinds us to the other sins perpetrated by their system and having forgotten them we are going back to them.

Why should we leave out the Holocaust in viewing the plans the American statists have? What Marxist/Socialist regime didn't have huge purges? The French Revolution? Stalin's murdering of 20M? Mao's Cultural Revolution leaving upwards of 200M dead? The savage butchery that defines what is happening right now allover Africa? The hero of academia and stupid youths in Che Guevara and his socialist terrorism for Castro? The killing fields of Cambodia?

Go borrow from you local skin head a copy of "The Eternal Jew" and replace the word "Jew" with "CEO" and tell me exactly how that is somehow different. Seriously. Watch that movie and you will see exactly what makes up the nature of these depraved animals and what they intend to do to the few Producers who are foolish enough to stay.

You are quite correct. The genocide of the Jews overshadows everything else about the Nazis in history. In fact, Hitler's state-directed/privately-owned corporatist economic plan doesn't look all that different from where our current crop of "national socialists" seek to take the US.

As the old saying goes, if you're not scared, you're not informed.

In my opinion what the majority of American Jews are saying with their block vote for democrats is give me the Nazi without the antisemitism.

Every time man builds a lever powerful enough to move large numbers of people something evil grabs control of it.

Exactly! The NAZI were “socialists”, thug liberals just like we have today; angry adult children wanting everyone else to take care of them.

I struggled a bit with how to say that without coming across as a Holocaust denier, glad you got it. I think it’s an important point.

[DManA]

I can only speak about the school district my kids grew up in, but here they teach about the Holocaust, extensively and graphically. And that’s good. But that is ALL they teach about the Nazis. The curriculum leaves kids with the impression that these boogie men sprang out of the Earth, terrorized the world for 10 years, and we killed them all.

[CodeToad]

I went to school in the 70’s. Same thing. Boogie men, not National Socialism.

Great read.

Nazis are socialists, right down to the core.

Or just read Fatherland, where they did, and got away with it....

[DManA]

I did read that but years ago. My memory may be faulty but as I recall in the book’s universe the Holocaust did take place but they were able to keep it a secret.

Great post. The writing reminds me of Ayn Rand.

There's no need to switch them.

Here in America the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Democrat Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP or simply “the Nazi Party”, or even more simply “the Democrats”) use strongarm tactics to remove Christianity from public view, populate the universities and newsrooms to rewrite history and propagandize the daily news, attack traditional cultural institutions like marriage, the nuclear family, and even the Boy Scouts, and personally destroy scientists and professors who do not toe the line with regard to Democrat Party doctrine on abortion, embryonic stem cells, the environment, and “global warming”.

Naturally, imposing rationed state-controlled health care on the masses, threatening to suppress opposing opinion and free speech through a “fairness doctrine”, and using quasi-terrorist tactics to stonewall any attempt to roll back socialism (for example, legislators in Wisconsin fleeing the state with a clap on the back from Fuhrer Ubama in order to prevent a vote on pending legislation) perfectly fits the modus operandi of America's own 21st century Nazi party.

In other words, America’s Democrats are operating in EXACTLY the same way the original version of their party operated in Germany during the 1930s.
