Subject: RE: the Confederacy in Country Music
By the way, Freikorps equals Nazis is also too facile a generalization.   There were lots of right-wing organizations in Germany right after WWI and no assurance the Nazis would be the ones to triumph.

It certainly is true that after a lost war, right-wing groups are likely to have clout--especially with huge numbers of unemployed bitter young men.

But, as has been pointed out, this is a distance from "The Confederacy in Country Music".
