[The Loan Arranger]

No, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Wiemar Republic was a democratic republic, wherein Adolf Hitler maneuvered his way into the Chancellor's position, then following Hindenburg's death, abolished the democracy and instituted the National Socialist Workers Party's(Nazi) "Third Reich"(Reich means Kingdom, roughly translated). Remember the Reich stag fire? The Reich stag was the Parliament. The fire was their warning to be a rubber stamp or die. Most were later replaced by Nazi party members. WWII/German historians out there, am I on track?

Democracy is no magic elixir. Nazi Germany started as a democracy. Eva Peron won beauty contests too. Fascism is completely okay with beauty pageants. And even with some form of democracy.

The pre-bellum US South was full of democracy and slavery at the same time. China's still a tyrant slaver.
