Nazis were national socialists. Their political philosophy is a collectivist philosophy which desires a powerful central state and ignores many individual rights. During the 1920s and 30s, the national socialists and the communists competed with each other for the support of the “downtrodden masses”.
After the Nazis were defeated, the communists came to power in East Germany and the Democratic Socialists came to power in West Germany. Andrea Merkel was born in East Germany and today leads a re-unified Germany.
In my opinion, the socialist philosophy which promotes collectivism and desires a powerful central state and ignores many individual rights has always been on top since Hitler won election in 1932. The people expect that kind of government. It’s how they’ve all been brought up.
What you say is true (where is the German Bill of Rights?) but I was thinking more about antisemitism, aggressive nationalism, willing conformity, etc.
Anyway, the new Germany is now governed by an unrepentant East German socialist who is flooding the country with Muslims. What could go wrong?/s
