Thank you for that excellent reminder about Hitler's conceptual framework for struggle incorporating Machiavelli's doctrine of duplicity!
To: Paul Ross
Perhaps you shouldn't thank me. The value of exposing Hitler's duplicity may be far outweighed by exposing people who know nothing of Machiavelli to him (though nowadays it's hard to be ignorant of his teachings, and Nietzsches's, since so much of our world is influenced by or accepting of them...and a portion of their evil is in the seeds sown in every soul, I suppose...)/rant.
