How Does Fascism Take Root? A Classic 1961 Movie With an All-Star Cast About Real-Life Events Paints the Picture Quite Well.

Only the first movie I will address.

This is not the first time, nor the second time, but at least the third time I have watched it.

The first movie is well worth discussing, despite some minor inaccuracies, such as the translation of German. Vier und fünfzehn is not Vier und fifteen.

Yet, going beyond the movie, I have recollections of my parents' stories in Europe during that time.

Believe me, this movie was mild in comparison, and even that was inaccurate.

The horrors my parents went through were worse.

Yet, this movie makes abundantly clear the responsibilities of not only those in power, but also those who were behind the scenes, of those in power.

It is for this reason alone that this movie is worth watching.

It doesn't matter what type of government is in place—neither Communism, nor Socialism, nor Federalism, nor Republics, nor even Monarchies.

Those in power, as well as those behind the scenes, must be held accountable for not only their actions, but also their inactions. And they must be upheld to the strictest standards, far more so than their lessers.

I can't emphasize this enough.

A crime committed never justifies the means at any point. Yet, those who hold the keys to power, as well as those behind the scenes, must be held to a far higher standard.

I visited Nuremberg in 1974. Even then, parts of Nuremberg were still war-torn.

We watched it in highschool.

Only watched the second video:

Hitler's Fascism actually wasn't difficult to root. Germany was suffering from the loss of WWI. Two wheelbarrows of Dutchemarks for a loaf of bread when inflation was at it's worst.

MAGA, however, has no excuse. The United States of America is still the wealthiest nation in the world, so MAGA are literally a bunch of spoiled children.

MAGA IS NOT SUFFERING!!!

MAGA HAS NO IDEA WHAT TRUE SUFFERING IS
