It’s funny how a classical education becomes left wing propaganda in your world view. I’m from a time when you actually had to read the source books and not wikipedia. You should read “You can’t do business with Hitler.” a contemporary book written by Douglas Miller, US commercial attache in berlin from 24 to 39. It pretty much lays out all the pitfalls of a free society doing business with a totalitarian regime. Once again, when you have
ea question instead of bloviation, please share it. Troll

Now you’re using another red herring. And you are using more ad hominem. If you’re wondering why I do not take you seriously, then your use of such logical fallacies is why and it’s also why my tone must seem high-handed to you.

I won’t discount your book recommendation out of hand, but it seems that you are too invested in defending the actual national socialists here. This thread is about Alternative für Deutschland, for the record, and their dogged insistence on holding onto the social market economy (the basis for the European Union) shows what they really are about.

I will throw a few book recommendations your way too: “Germany Plots with the Kremlin” by T.H. Tetens is a good one, and it’s applicable to today’s situation. I frequently cite “The Naked Communist” by W. Cleon Skousen, which of course has way, way more than the oft-quoted list of 45 communist goals for the USA. Can I presume you’ve read “The Conscience of a Conservative” by Barry Goldwater (ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Jr.)?

PS. I found the transcript of the radio dramatization of Miller’s book; along with my thanks, I am certainly happy to share it and my own recommendation with all here. I will continue to search for the book text; I am sure it’s available somewhere.

My first impression is that the demands the NSDAP were throwing around are the same way the EU does business, albeit on a softer tone (for now). Since Germany has controlled the EU from its inception, we can only expect a hardening of this old stance the more powerful they get.
