Godwins Law of Nazi Analogies hold that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. Attorney Mike Godwin, who coined the self-named law, explained the comparisons trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and the social pathology of the Nazis.
But what if the Nazi analogy is apt, such as when white supremacists march under the flag of the Third Reich? Some posed that question to Godwin after the violence at this months march in Charlottesville left scores injured and three deadincluding two law enforcement officers killed in a helicopter crash while responding to the escalating violence.
Godwin responded with a simple, unequivocal message: By all means, compare these sh-theads to the Nazis. Again and again. Im with you. Yes, they are Nazis, through and through, as Cathy Young demonstrated a little over a year ago when she dissected the alt-rights views in her Federalist article, You Cant Whitewash The Alt-Rights Bigotry. Young invited readers to swipe through the movements online hubs, such as RadixJournal which reincarnates the shuttered Richard Spencer outlet AlternativeRight.com.
The violence in Charlottesville has brought a renewed focus on the writings of the alt-right at RadixJournal. Professor Robert P. George, whose Twitter feed has led the charge against the white supremacists since they took up their Tiki torches in North Carolina, reminded everyone that the very essence of the alt-right movement is Nazism: They are Nazis even in their embrace of eugenics and abortion.

I’d heard that the general Nazi practice was that abortion was
Forbidden for Aryans
Encouraged for Poles and Slavs
Mandatory for Jews.
Following their idea that Aryans are ubermenschen, Slavs barely “menschen,” and Jews altogether subhuman.

Kinda funny how these pro big government movements always devolve into violence. Why one could theorize that violence must be inherent to big government.
