Hmm. Nazis have been held up us the paragon of total evil.
Even more so then the Stalinist Communists (who murdered
even more millions then Nazis - guess cause they were around
longer).
The greatest cause of unnatural death in the world in the past 100 years
has been "Death by Government" or death by rampant statism which
has literally killed 100's of millions of people.
Nazism is a state of mind. Nazism occurs through incrementalism.
Incremental incipient Nazism (and Stalinism) is alive and well throughout
the world. As some victims of statism have proclaimed "Never again."
We should constantly be on the alert for incremental Nazism.
What is quite disturbing is that so many today who decry historical
Nazism are the same folks who encourage or favor dangerous, incremental
statism...the path leading to Nazism and Stalinism. These same Nazi
enablers also encourage tribalism, racialism, ethnocentrism.
It is the duty of all people everywhere to be on constant alert for
the insidious signs of Deadly Statism.
Godwin is a foolish ass.
