The rise of fascist in pre-WW2 Germany has to be seen in its cultural context. The country was a mess after WW1 and the attitude of neighboring countries which amounted to let's kick 'm while they are laying down. The German population was desperate enough to welcome everybody promising some kind of solution. At that time that was the communists or the fascists. If you're hungry and the fascists promise bread, you're going to look away a little if a few of them are nasty. History has shown neither choice was very constructive. But that's today. A new kind of desperation is growing, and a new kind of assholes are feeding off it. So please let's find a way to find common ground with the other side of the political spectrum. 'Their' solution might seem wrong, but the problems they point to is real and needs urgent solving. If 'we' are sitting on our high horse, pointing out their flaws, without providing our own real solutions, there is no reason for them to even take notice of us. And we do know form history what happens next.
