I liked the
@ttystikk post because it looked as if he did actual research into a topic to form opinion and talk knowledgeably about it.
You can't reject all other hitler history based on the last part of it, or else how are you going to recognize the travesty if it starts growing again and keep it from maturing to the point of causing deaths?
History proves that people get stupid periodically.
Technology and population guarantee the each new bout of stupidity will accrue more horrific casualties than the one before.
We need to research and understand all the reasons why bad things like that stupidity have happened to keep them from happening again.
His post also spurred me to do some more looking around and I found:
Shortly after coming to power, Hitler told a confidant: "There is no license any more, no private sphere where the individual belongs to himself. That is socialism, not such trivial matters as the possibility of privately owning the means of production. Such things mean nothing if I subject people to a kind of discipline they can't escape...What need have we to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings".[21]
Sometimes the clues are right there if we look for them.
