Nazis were totalitarian control freaks.

Can we get serious? One of the painful things today is the massive
failure of history teaching in the schools and colleges, so that kids
confuse Hitler's Nazis with the people who fought for freedom against
them. Stalin and Hitler forged an alliance in 1938. Had Hitler not
gone mad and invaded Stalin's Soviet Union, the Nazis and Soviets
would have gone to war against the West together. And they would have
won.

The Nazis were totalitarian romantics. That is why Hitler imitated
and glorified Richard Wagner, the Siegfried mythographer who marked
the very height of German Romanticism. That is also why the Nazis
hated both Jews and Christians, and promoted a neo-pagan religion
based on the Nordic gods and the glorification of killing and war.
The Nazis were romantics -- just like the hippies in the Sixties.
They loved going "back to nature," "the noble Savage," nudism, and
the destruction of marriage and traditional families.

Obama's former good buds Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn

are prototypical anarchist Romantics, people who are quite willing to
kill for their cause. Hitler's Nazis were emotional revolutionaries
with an endless craving to attack, subvert, control and co-opt all
the existing structures of society. Oh, and yes, they had a Mass Cult
of the Leader not unlike the idolatry whipped up for Barack Obama
today. Obama's "Citizens of the World!" speech in front of 200,000
cheering Berliners had that very familiar look to it. That was not an
accident, but a deliberate PR stunt.

The best explanation of Nazism ever written is Peter Viereck's
Metapolitics: The roots of the Nazi mind. If you only give your kids
one book this year, that should be the one. Viereck's Metapolitics
was written in great fear and passion during the early days of
Hitler's rise, when the author was still a graduate student of German
history, and then revised two decades later. But it's one of those
books that remains relevant because it hits the nail on the head. You
can't get more accurate than Viereck did. A few years later Thomas
Mann wrote an Epilogue to Viereck's book, endorsing its main
conclusions. They both understood how deeply the Nazis were rooted in
German history.

"Metapolitics" is the name the Nazis gave to their brand of politics,
because in their minds they were trying to change the entire world,
not just be another political party. Marxism is metapolitics; Nazism
is metapolitics. And yes, some of today's political fantasists dream
the same dreams. (Hint: Who do you think wants to revolutionize the
world today?)

Metapolitics was very controversial even after World War Two, because
it criticized European Romanticism, beloved by European and American
scholars and writers. But Peter Viereck was right and his critics
were wrong. German Romanticism of the totalitarian variety survived
the Nazis, and just re-emerged as the [Socialist] Green movement in
Europe. Nazism was always a "back to nature" movement anyway. After
the Nazis were defeated, all the Wagnerian Romantics turned into
Socialist Romantics. Often they were the very same people, like
Martin Heidegger, Paul de Man, and even Jean-Paul Sartre. The 1968
student riots in Europe, which ultimately brought the Greens to
power, were run by anarchists identical to the Nazi rioters of the
Munich beer halls. Some of them have realized as much since that
time.

Post-modernism is an attack on Western rationalism, democracy,
capitalism, free speech and free thought. It's called
"Post-Modernism" because it wants to kill modernism. Modernism stands
for science, technology, democracy, medicine and yes, bourgeois
capitalism: The keys to modern prosperity and well-being. That is why
"Post-Modernism" became so popular in our college English and History
departments. That is also why we have the "global warming" fraud, the
anti-science movements, the anti-nuclear power campaigns, the
"post-modern" media -- run by propaganda artists who were taught in
college that lying for a "good cause" was better than telling the
truth. Those are the mediots who are running our media today.

Culturally, the Nazis would have felt right at home with that attack
on Western rationalism, capitalism, and freedom of thought. It was
exactly what they wanted. The Nazis were Post-Modernists. Modernity
was their enemy. Hitler characteristically called Albert Einstein's
relativity theory "Jewish science." Back in Moscow, Jozef Stalin
promoted an attack on science by peddling fraudulent agricultural
genetics. Stalin thought he could discipline his marching ranks of
wheat stalks to grow taller by force, encouraged by his fraudulent
"geneticist" Trofim Lysenko. Both Hitler and Stalin hated real
science. They had real scientists sent to concentration camps.

The reason is of course that real science is about telling the truth.
That is why "global warming" is also a totalitarian scheme; it's
fraudulent science. It is also why the Left cannot openly debate the
pros and cons of Central Planning in American medicine. They are not
happy with searching out the truth.

And I'm afraid, that is also why Nancy Pelosi has to imagine "people
with swastikas" flooding the Town Hall meetings in America, to fight
against all the Good and Noble people like herself. Nancy is a
certifiable airhead, but the beliefs echoing in her head come from
decades of ideological indoctrination -- of the Totalitarian Romantic
kind. People like Ms. Pelosi have been given all the answers by the
ideologues of the Left. That is why their minds are shut so air
tight.

Let's not call them names, our Totalitarian Romantics [Liberal
Fascists] of today.

But let's not forget their historical antecedents either.

Hint: It's not Washington, Madison, Jefferson or Lincoln.

HEIL HITLER! [get used to it.]

Who really cares? Babble,babble!!! WHAT does any of this crap have to
do with amateur radio??? Stay on topic,huh? N9ZAS.

About as much as it is a 'shortwave radio' group anymore. If it weren't for John Plimmer, Brenda Ann, and sometimes
you Steve, there wouldn't even be an on topic post in this wasteland.
