Seems like a good day for a history review.

February 27, 1933
Reichstag (German Congress) catches fire and destroyed the building’s main chamber. A member of the Communists Party (primary political rival to the Nazi Party at the time) was blamed for the fire.

February 28, 1933
President Hindenburg, at Hitler’s urging, issued two emergency decrees titled, “For the Defense of Nation and State” and “To Combat Treason against the German Nation and Treasonable Activities”. The two decrees suspended, until further notice, every part of the constitution that protected personal freedoms. The Nazis claimed that the decrees were necessary to protect the nation from the “Communist menace.”

March 5, 1933
National elections were held for control of the Reichstag. The Nazis won 288 seats (43.9% of the vote). The Communists won 81 seats (12.3%), even though their representatives were unable to claim those seats—if they appeared in public, they faced immediate arrest. Other opposition parties also won significant numbers of seats. The Social Democrats captured 119 seats (18.3%), and the Catholic Center Party won 73 seats (11.2%).

March 21, 1933
Reichstag (with Nazi Party majority) passed a new law on March 21, 1933, that made it a crime to speak out against the new government or criticize its leaders.

March 24, 1933
Reichstag passed what became known as the Enabling Act by a vote of 141 to 94. It “enabled” the chancellor of Germany to punish anyone he considered an “enemy of the state.” That same day, Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler, then police commissioner for the city of Munich, held a news conference to announce the opening of the first concentration camp near Dachau, Germany. According to Himmler, the camp would have the capacity to hold 5,000 people, including Communist Party members and Social Democrats “who threaten the security of the state.”

June 1933
Hitler outlawed the Social Democratic Party.

Summer 1933
More than 100,000 Communists, Social Democrats, union officials, and other “radicals” were imprisoned in concentration camps.

Socialism and segregation have been on the rise for years. Not surprised if we see it back in full swing soon

The seeds of National Socialist party (or Nazi, for short) we’re sewn by the socialist thinkers and intelligencia of the early 1900s and post WW1 doctrines. The elements on the right that come into play much later, we’re only possible due to the socialists and their insistence on totalitarianism and government involvement of all aspects of life.

Bolshevists killed 100 million, they were fighting for their lives.

I’m not arguing that Bolshevism is good. It was awful. I’m just pointing out that nazis were literally based on socialist thinking. Bolshevism is Lenin’s extreme and deadly/revolutionary expanse of Marxism.

It's okay, all the Democrat Socialists want to do is prevent "insurrectionists"* from public office.

* Please don't notice that insurrectionists is anyone who they want the label to be.

Boy, I can't wait to go to Covid Camp once it opens!

Point?


Majority political party accuses minority political party of bad thing (with minimal proof they actually did anything).

Majority political party declares government is in danger of insurrection.

Majority political party demonizes minority political party.

Majority political party criminalizes minority political party.

Seems familiar somehow.

You're leaving out how bad the German economy was in the Weimar Republic. Rapid inflation(much like we're seeing here now) and Hitler actually turned it all around. It was refereed to as the German Miracle.

Hitler, and the other authoritarians, were afraid of an ethnic cleansing like Russia got

National Socialism and International Communism was like two horns of the same totalitarian goat. National Socialism attracted droves of formerly communist youth in its rise to power.

His big “mistake” was getting the Germans off the globalist bank tit. That wasn’t acceptable. The commie Jewish bankers got the world to boycott Germany. Kind of escalated things

Not just in Germany but the Bolshevists were attacking and killing ethnic Germans in Poland. One of the reasons Hitler wanted to invade.
