> Even if we fully mirrored the rise of the Nazi party (in the political sense), it would not necessarily imply that we would mirror their actions (genocide, etc). It's a debate within historians if this is true. Some people contend that racism was so inherent to Nazi ideology that you can't have Nazis who don't commit genocide (if they can), and that the Nazis (and Hitler) always planned to commit genocide. And some claim that the Holocaust sort of evolved, and there was no original plan. So you can't be certain that you can have nazis without genocide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionalism_versus_intentionalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionalism_versus_intention...
