Seems to me that the nazis were largely inspired by American progressives of the early 1900s.

Like Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood?

Or is it safe to say that Sanger took her cues from Hitler and Nazism?

Either way - they both are genocidal extremes cut from the same cloth designed for the same evil purpose.

The progressives of America were pimping eugenics, seperatism, social manipulation and all things progressive long before most people in Germany had ever heard of Adolph Hitler. One of those progressives was Wilsonian propagandist Edward Bernays.

The engineering of consent is the very essence of the democratic process, the freedom to persuade and suggest.

Goebbels was using my book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me.

The eugenics movement was embraced by “progressives” everywhere at about the same time.
