Sugarfoot Jack, we need to remember history... and that means more than just spitting out names & dates.

the Nazis didn't just appear out of thin air... anymore than the Communists, Fascist or Imperialists.   or the extremists of Islam.

but one thing that I think they did have in common is that good people of moderate beliefs did not stem the tide when they had a chance. Instead they were later swept away by those who bought into the propaganda and carried it onward.

another commonality is that there was great disparity in wealth and justice... that was manipulated by sociopathic people to their own ends.
