Being an idealist excuses nothing.
Hitler was an “idealist”. He was also a socialist, an animal rights advocate, a vegetarian, a teatotaller, an antichristian who espoused a preverse, self-serving form of Christianity, a non-smoker, a drug abuser, a hypochondriac, an avid of follower of unconventional medicine, childishly sentimental, a dilettante and a sexual deviant. He was enthralled by a superficial and superstitious naturalism. He was a technical illiterate fascinated by the fruits of technology he never really understood and upon which he made sweeping generalizations and pronouncements, while loathing and envying its creators. If he were alive today and living in Wisconsin, he’d be on the liberal arts faculty of a third rate community college and a Democratic Party activist
My Jewish penpal tells me, that years before Hitler's rise, a Rabbi saw how some Germans are so obsessed with animals on the expense of regard to humans... the Rabbi said [something along the line] 'a culture that prefers animals over humans is bound to perform great atrocities...'
In moderation and proper proportion is the key!
You seem determined to misunderstand my intentions. I am in no way defending Hitler or any of the rest. I am condemning them as Evil Men! I simply said they hid behind high-sounding ideas. The Communist Manifesto? It sounded great to a lot of people but it was unworkable BS and millions died because of the Evil Men behind its propagation.
I don’t remember exactly what Hitler was selling other that a restoration of Germany and race superiority but he used those as a jumping off point to gain power. Do you think most Germans who voted for him foresaw a conflagration and the murder of millions of Jews? Do you think most Germans supported that? Most didn’t even know about it. It was the Evil Man, Hitler, who took their trust and betrayed it.
How hard can this be to understand? If you don’t get it take it up with someone else. I have said it as plain as I can.
