I know its hard to believe, but not EVERY single thing the Germans did between the years of 1933-1945 was stupid or evil.
Autobahns were a pretty good idea, one that Ike grabbed onto in starting the Interstate Highway System.
Much of the totalitarian impulses that we feel all around us these days have largely come from the planning departments that regulate and control down to the minutiae how we are to live. Planning space was very important to National Socialism, and it is especially important to our environmentalist friends today. What the Nazis originally used to be anti-Semitic and anti-Slavic, are now used to be anti-people in general.
True, but totalitarian special planning practices are by no means a neutral category. There is not one word mentioned in this article about how Christaller’s theory is at the heart of modern sustainable development practices.
Thanks to their racist scientism and existentialist will to power worldview, the Nazis used ‘rational’ means to bring about irrational goals.
This was.
