Who's the Nazi?

They don't write like this any more.

It is beautifully written. But wrong. "Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi"? Ha. At best they'll have grown up before the camps, and will regard them as an unfortunate fact of life. At worst they will join hitlerjugend before they are capable of thinking and be taught to see the camps as a necessity, and to force themselves to guard them as a service to their homeland.

She was talking about adults. Children are different.

Adults will go passive Nazi. That's when they are really too nice and too gentlemanly to hurt a man's feelings by mentioning publicly that his job as a camp director is somewhat vulgar.

Time will show.

I sincerely hope not.

I agree: Nazism is unlikely.

Fascism, on the other hand, takes on many forms. But it is such a vague notion that almost anything done collectively can be called that.

Or at least it's unlikely in these United States in the next twenty years or so. I hope.

Yes, I was talking about the US too. I am not sure about other countries.

At least there's now hope for Haiti ;) I'm rooting for Wyclef Jean.
