I hope that in future episodes you get to Hitler’s other dog whistle, the Jews as interest capital, etc. and Hitler’s belief that the Jews were both the global capitalists *and* the Bolsheviks squeezing ze poor innocent aryans in a vice (made explicit in Mein Kampf). It is necessary to understand this and the role the antisemitic propaganda, especially the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, played in their own propaganda such as the 25 point program and the pseudo-socialism of eg Strasser. It’s amazing how easily duped modern conservatives are by this propaganda.
Wow... So you got a useless education and you assume Hitler was on the right, and in addition you started looking into it with a preconceived notion... Yea no wonder you compare Trump with Hitler.
I started studying this topic after reading Hayek’s Road to Serffdom and with the assumption that he was right about Nazis being leftist. Turns out Hayek was wrong. Maybe read books by actual historians?
Another must-read, extraordinary, and compellingly unconventional, book on the rise of and horror wreaked by Hitler is “All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days” by Rebecca Donner.
While most book reviews have tended to focus on the underground resistance of Mildred Harnack after Hitler assumed supreme authority, the first half of the book offers astonishing first-person, lived, lay accounts of of Hitler in the early 30s and his meteoric rise to ultimate power by the mid-30s. The NYT review does mention these early days covered by the book.The book’s emotional and intellectual impact cannot be overstated.
The written version has photos of journal and archival fragments scattered throughout, which are fascinating and offer a glimpse of the range of sources author Donner investigated in putting this book together.
Outstanding article. I'd be interested in your opinion...I think the current arc of democracy in US is following the 1850-1862 model...same again Red States VS Blue States...caused by Religion not slaves
Great start, I had already read his book.
