“Adolf was actually a very good debater and public speaker, but it was his brown shirts that got him into power, the Gestapo that kept him there, and Goebbels’ propaganda machine that molded the public mind.”
All very true, and the BLM/antifa arm of the democrat machine is a blatant ripoff of the Nazi’s. But people are too ignorant to see it.
Hitler was paid by the German government to spy on the small Nazi party because the various parties had actually been having street battles, even using machine guns.
One day Hitler gave an off the cuff speech at a meeting and quickly took over the party. Even Germans who hated him said he was a speaker who could have an audience hanging on every word. Even as he broke every supposed rule about public speaking.
I have found it odd that over the decades people have forgotten that NAZI stands for National Socialist German Workers party. Somewhere along the way the Socialist was dropped and I’ve seen and heard people, who should know better, refer to it as the German Workers Party. Of course the people dropping the National Socialist part have been democrats and other flavors of socialists.
Communists, like Woody Guthrie, always referred to the Nazis as “Fascists”, although, the only real “Fascist” was Mussolini. There were some similarities between Nazism and Fascism, but far more differences.
Now ask, why was that? Could it be because Nazi was short for “National SOCIALIST”?
