This Day in the History of Evil


On this day in 1921 Adolf Hitler became the President of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, National Socialist German Workers' Party, known to the Germans at the time as the NSDAP but known to the rest of the world as the Nazis. They were lefties, national socialists as opposed to the international socialists of Marxist-Leninist thought, the Communists. Like all lefties, the Nazis were not adverse to totalitarian rule and were directly responsible for the political murder of millions, most of them Jews. During the 20th Century, the left murdered well in excess of a hundred million, the right barely in excess of a hundred thousand. No one has yet provided to me a benign reason for such a one-sided butchers' bill. I am left, in the absence of any other rational explanation, with the inescapable conclusion that lefty thinking is inherently dangerous and can far too easily become wholly evil.

I'm glad to see that there are others besides me who have to endlessly correct the simple-minded who have imbibed the "Nazis are on the right" meme.

I am a daily reader, love the sayings/latin quotes/and days in history, as well as the movie reviews.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback. I used to see the Nazis as a yin-yang balance to the Communist totalitarians. Realizing, thanks to Diomedes, both were socialists was the first step to seeing things much more clearly. I'll try to do more movie reviews.
