Do you like Adolf Hitler

  • Total voters

I don't think Hitler was evil. Evil people take pleasure in doing evil. Hitler thought he was doing good for his people.

Not really. He did terrible things for what he believed was for the good of his people. Labeling Hitler 'evil' misdiagnoses the problem.

What problem is being misdiagnosed by labeling him "evil"?

But why would a group of powerful people want a one world government? I mean what would be the benefit?
What would that even look like?

Also when people try to convince you of a Jewish or whatever secret power society you just have to look at Germany 1920-1933.
The Jews were a lot more powerful compared to today and it was a lot easier to control the media. And yet they were completely unable to prevent the Nazis from gaining power.
How is that possible that they are now somehow capable of causing the refugees crisis? Did they mastermind the middle east situation? How would that have been possible?

No they didn't mastermind it. People like Soros just didn't let a good crisis go to waste toward advancing their agenda.

I did not say he was conservative. I said he was radical or revolutionary right. What are you trying to argue, that only left wingers can believe in big governemt or scape goat people? By that definition Bismarck was what, a commie? Every nationalist who has ever tried to control the economy is a socialist by that metric (so is captain infrastructure Trump).

The industrial ruling class put hitler in power because fascism is where they go when communism raises its ugly head. But no he needs to be a free market conservative or he is left wing because he has the word socialist in his party's name and had a national healthcare plan.....

This is true.

What Trump is planning regarding infrastructure is National Socialism as practiced by the Germans during the Third Reich. But did Obama not have the same plan? Either way, I think it's a clever way to get those that can get out of the welfare system out of the welfare system and help build the country in the process.

I think the problem is extreme conviction, ideology, sense of being right in combination with extreme power creates a situation where a person can knowingly do terrible things for a greater good/ ideology.
In any other situation Hitler could have been an average perhaps likeable though somewhat opinionated Austrian.

He argued against this in Mein Kampf. He said (to paraphrase) that morality and humanity of leaders means nothing when the people don't have the will toward self-preservation. When desire of self-preservation and self pride hits a certain low point, morality and humanity will erode along with it. If immoral and inhumane things are done toward self-preservation of the people, morality and humanity will come back when their pride in themselves comes back.

Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose. In Germany we are seeing the antithesis of Hitler today and I think it will prove to be just as bad as it will ultimately lead to an Islamic theocracy far more totalitarian and brutal than Nazi Germany. Time will tell.
 
I don't think many people *like* him apart from neo-Nazis, but in terms of what he achieved it was pretty incredible.

And if it wasn't for the huge reparations payments inflicted on Germany after WW1, there is no way he would have ever gotten into power because the German people & economy wouldn't have been in the abysmal state it was.
So in terms of who was to 'blame' for Nazism, you have to look squarely at the Allies at the end of WW1.
Hitler just took advantage of the situation.
 
The studying of the rise and fall are IMO what most people are interested in. His connection to WWI and then plunging the world into WWII and of course the almost incomprehensible carrying out of the Holocaust.

Why is carrying out the holocaust so incomprehensible?

Did we not place Germans and Japanese people in internment camps here in the States? Remember Bolshevism was started and run by Jews. Now imagine if we were losing the war and couldn't feed our own people and concentrated on them more.

Not trying to justify it, only provide a rationale.

To properly compare the two scenarios, you'd have to ask yourself what the United States would've done with the Germans and the Japanese, if they had actually been on the losing end of the war, fighting a battle on two fronts, threatened with a loss of their culture and a genocide of their people.

If the Americans were willing to drop a nuclear bomb to win, what would they have done if they had actually lost?

That's what I was trying to say in my first post. Sorry if it came off as inelegant dribble. I just woke up.
