[kj] (OT) Singing rule Britannia

[sade1]

I also read that at the start, that the people were not as anti-semitic as people think they were, 
but that the anti-semitism didn't really go bonkers until some years later. Kinda like here with the 
whole anti-immigrant thing. Kinda.

Yes, I've read that too-that the Nazis had quite a big base of support among doctors, teachers, and groups like that. Any one read the book about the Nazi doctors?

> The Nazis were ushered into power 


   Curious fact about those guys that, contrary to what alot of people think of extremist political types, them there Nazis were, on average, about 30yrs. of age, white, male, with a college degree and of the professional class.

Good points Bette. I think that the business class NEEDED the Nazis to survive (and they got what they needed--a fusion of corporations w/the government, complete social control, lowered wages, blaming the victim, etc). The Nazis were ushered into power w/the cooperation of the "liberal" social democratic parties. THe big issue is not so much how many voted for Hitler, but that the rich class slipped them into power to serve their economic/political needs. If the German  Communist Party had actually tried to lead armed opposition to the Nazis (which they didn't), history might have been different.

The "people did not start listening" en masse, as we are led to believe.  Hitler won about 32% of the "popular vote".....correct?  he then, like so many fascists, offed the opposition.  I mean, his relationship with the Catholic Church is a case in point.  Used until he could abuse.  I just am being a stickler about this because everyone thinks that Hitler got into power with this sweeping majority after the Weimar Republic.  World War I, and its economic repercussions, also seem to be the elements that "paved the way for Hitler".  But it is an unfortunate fallacy that so many want to blame the rise of Hitler on the "debauchery of the Weimar Republic".

Yeah man (sorry, I'm listening to Big Youth), the advanced democracy that was the Weimar republic pathed the way for the Nazis. Things were fine until the economy started going tits. Then more people started listening to what uncle Adolf had to say...

Didn't Germany go thru some level of success/prosperity during the Weimar period before the Nazis came up?

I can't see how the circumstances are similar. Germany was fucked after
WWI, they also were forced to take the blame for what was essentially a
european arms race that culminated in a war, and pay large reparations
(although I don't think they ever paid much). The UK is in a much
different position now....isn't it?
