No you haven't.

How far would you follow such a leader though, Bubblyrat? Once a leader starts 'demonising' a segment of the population, then its gone WAY too far...but typically by then, its too late to stop it.

As I understood it, Hitler's rejuvenation of the German economy was dependant on the nationalistic frenzy he whipped up, the consolidation of political power and the removal or discredit of political opposition.

It seems a high price to pay, and must necessarily lead to a very dangerous vantage point from which to view the future.

Don't you see bubblyrat, whether you support A or B it's this kind of attitude, following a STRONG LEADER with easy solutions, that creates all these problems.

Dear PEACE --I am nearly 60 years old ,& I live in a country run by selfish,incompetent,corrupt,immoral,war-mongering psychopaths who,a mere 40 years ago,would have been shot for treason against the People of Britain.They arrogantly preside over a nation beset by drug-addiction,alcoholism,teenage pregnancy,murder,rape,hitherto unknown levels of aggression & violence,& in some cases,levels of poverty approaching those of the so-called Third World.Children spit in the faces of their parents & teachers,old people are mugged in the streets & beaten up for their mobile "phones & whatever little money they may have-----Those responsible for these crimes,if they are sent to prison,are called SIR by their warders,& are allowed to have mobile "phones ---they do not,of course ,have to wear a uniform !!! I,& millions like me,have HAD ENOUGH OF THIS !!! So if somebody came along,--A STRONG LEADER,who could deal with all this CRAP ( WE CAN"T--we can"t own guns,we can"t get to the army to get their support,we can"t even protest outside NO.10 Downing Street any more without being arrested )Well, I for one would follow him as if he were THE MESSIAH---No,I would NOT wish to see another Hitler, BUT,---if there was absolutely No alternative,then I would have to follow him, for the sake of my beloved country . Sorry,but that"s the sad state Britain is in today .

He may, perhaps, serve as a lesson to the 'rest' of us about how
a group of people who feel they've been screwed (i.e. Germans
post Treaty of Versailles) and are being screwed can be maniuplated
to commit atrocities. Which affect the whole world.

Are ya listening, Condie? Dubya?

I thought not.

It was Mussolini who was supposed to have gotten the trains to run on time. According to folks who were in Italy at the time, that was bullshit.

F##K the NAZIS! Yesterday, today and tomorrow!

Well, agreed Peace, "...F##K the NAZIS! Yesterday, today and tomorrow...." but, he did get the trains to run on time (an old line, I know) build a network of Autobahns across Germany, & got production way up in a country that was struggling more than most in the wake of the Depression Era.

He even got the people working for what they were persuaded was the common good...it was just that the cause they were given was...well we all know what atrocities he led them to...

IMO, it is bullshit that he raised the nation to anything. He got the big money into weapons production and the young men into the military. Wasn't the first to do it, and looking around, he ain't been the last. Pardon me for saying, but F##K the NAZIS! Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

This is very controversial, but well worth discussing, we all know Hitler was a madman who plunged the whole world into chaos, but he also raised a country on the brink of the abiss into one of the most powerful nations ever within a very short space of time. so my question is what can we learn from those early policies that we could apply to todays world that would benefit all, and not just the chosen few.
I would like to point out that i in no way agree with or sympathise with any far right group, but am merely putting forward a question for debate.
