Giving mobs of unemployable thugs bums a way to vent their anger since 1920
HITLER WAS NOT ELECTED!!!!!!
not directly but they loved him... Watch.
‘Black Lives Matter’(tm) is ‘Occupy Wall Street’ version 2.0
At least the Nazis are better dressed.
Most went along out of fear in the beginning. Yes, Hitler had a sizable fan club, but I don’t think they were the majority in Germany at that time.
The assertion that "the German's (sic) were and have always been to this day a fascist and regimented people" is absurd. Germany has, in fact, been a highly pluralistic society throughout most of its history, and today, despite the growth of welfare-state socialism since the '60s, it remains a thoroughly free country.
Big government can kill historically.
I always wonder how different things would have been if the name of the party was the "Socialist National Workers Party of Germany".
They would have been called "Sozis" instead of "Nazis", and the concept of Nationalism wouldn't have been so tarnished with that brush.
I believe he was elected to the Reichstag.
But I’ve been wrong before (an ex-wife as evidence).
Tell it to the victims of rapist refugees who face imprisonment if they speak out against their rapists because they are a protected group (MUSLIM JIHADIS) Tell it to the victims of bank seizure and job loss.
You may say well it happens here and everywhere true but much of it got its start in Germany.
German Socialism dates back to at least Bismarck in the 1880’s. Kaiser Wilhelm I was the monarch, but the government was socialist.
No, he was appointed Chancellor, he never was a member of the Reichstag.
The socialists never held power during Kaiser Wilhelm I’s reign.
No German Chancellor was elected. His party won a parliamentary majority, and he was appointed by the President.
Nobody voted for Margaret Thatcher outside of her parliamentary constituency of Finchley, either.
If you go to the basic history from 1919 to 1929....you had three central themes to German politics.
1. There is disbelief that they lost (at least a hundred years of continual victories is central to this disbelief).
2. The reparations business forced onto the Germans by the English and French made this period very negative and bitter to the working class German society.
3. The threat from 1919 on...was the Communists. This is why gun laws were enacted in the early 20’s, and continual talk about the fear of the Communists staging a coup or getting enough votes was the number one threat in the country.
If you look at the election in 1932....the NAZIS had 37-percent of the national vote. That’s all they needed in order to establish a coalition government and run the country. I’ll also point out in the 1932 election....there were 40 parties in the running, and almost 10-to-15 percent of the national vote went to parties that amounted to nothing in the big picture.
The Nazis were the largest Party in the Reichstag, but they didn’t have a majority.
Hitler was appointed Chancellor on Von Papen’s suggestion, as a way to get back at his rival, Von Schleicher. Hindenburg despised Hitler, but by then was too senile to care.
From there, Hitler engineered the coup that put the Nazis into power.
Thanks for the post.
