Consider the German political audience in 1927.

I’m a Hayek fan as some of the other posters. He chronicaled the progress of the jack boot in Germany and specifically compared it to Stalin’s worker’s paradise. In the end, discriminating between German fascism and Soviet Communism is pretty meaningless.

As Hayek would say, they both emphasize utopian models which in the end allows them to dehumanize the people they rule. They need to control every aspect of their populace’s lives. The death camps and the work camps are a natural result of socialism whether national or soviet. They compete for being the worst bane of humanity.

We need to concentrate our efforts on seeing the new fascism / socialism raising its bestial head in our own politics (hello hillary, barach, and john).
