I read somewhere that Hitler was more of a Big Brother than a
parental figure to the German people. They were rebelling
against the stringest parental restrictions in German society.
It was more of a gang thing. Rebel against your parents and play
follow the fuhrer.

Don't think America is facist yet but I will advocate that
it was started by a group of liberals. Jefferson, Paine, Franklyn,
and those Abolitionists as well as Quakers. Not too much mentioned about the Masons, but they were around too. Even those Puritans
had a liberal streak. They started public education.
