“It resembles Nazi Germany more than anything.

You can own stuff, but the government can seize it at any time on a whim, if you are deemed a threat.”


That’s not Nazi Germany - that’s absolute rulers ever since man started ruling man. What’s unique about Nazi Germany is its insistence on killing entire ethnicities in the absence of universal armed revolt. Hitler was one of a kind. Most kings try to expand the numbers of their subjects via conquest, regardless of religion or creed. To not be harmed, all you had to do was not insult the king or otherwise be in opposition to his rule. Few men like Hitler establish long-lasting empires - they simply draw too much opposition from people who have nothing to lose, since they are targeted for extermination anyway.

Were the Chinese that far off with what they did in Tibet?
