And yet the socialism continued. German thinkers led the way in resolving socialism's problems in the 1930s. The vast majority of Germans completely supported Herr Hitler's national socialism. And now you have other enormous problems don't you? My wife's hometown of Weurzburg looks like any Islamic republic these days. When we left Germany the last time in the 1980s is was still European.

You have not crashed yet but you have the same sickness as the rest of Europe.
 

That revolution will have to come from within.
 
The direct philosophical descendants of Nazism are Islamists, albeit having admixed the Nazi ideology with Islam to create a hybrid. Should we fight them? Yes. Tooth and nail.

Few people realize the connections between Islamists and Nazis, but they were collaborators in the 30s and 40s, were promised the extinction of Jews after the Nazis finished off European Jewry, and they created an enormous propaganda apparatus based upon Goebels techniques that is still in use today.
 

Nothing says "fascist" like the government taking over student loans. Hitler may have committed the holocaust and started WW2, but it was that damned student loan program that really made him a monster. Do you really believe that melodramatic bull****? Are you incapable of handling economic policy simply by discussing its economic impact rather than devolving into hysterics?

There is a trend towards Fascism in America, but doesn't involve any of the nonsense you mentioned. Rather its our governments willingness to spy upon, imprison, torture and kill even its own citizens. You don't need ridiculous hyperbole to compare those kind of actions with the Nazi's.

That would be socialist, actually. Do you understand that fascism is just a tactic?
I am doing just fine. You, on the other hand are failing.

Fascism may include those crimes. I am comfortable accepting that the same government that controls nearly every facet of business through the enormous regulatory state is also quite willing to coerce, bully and even murder its own citizens. It is not a trend toward fascism. We are already there.

The National Socialism of Hitler's Germany was socialism. Mussolini's Italy suffered under fascism. Hitler's Germany had its share of what we would call crony capitalism today. It is corruption and it is corporatism. The CEO of General Electric could probably tell us a thing or two about the link between corporatism and tyranny.
