So if you compare the U.S. and Nazis they are therefore foils of each other? While I agree that the U.S. falls short of being a true democracy for all of those three bullet points, I'm a little confused about Wolin's reasoning. His argument seems to be: * In Nazi Germany, the state dominated economic factors, in the U.S. corporations do * Nazis advocated political action, U.S. does not and does not advocate voting * Nazis mocked democracy, U.S. made it its ideology * Therefore Nazis and the U.S. are very similar Doesn't anyone see why this is problematic reasoning? He just made three points that showed how the U.S. and Nazi Germany have flawed political models, but the connections seem to be few and far between. I get that he's saying that they are both nondemocratic systems under the guise of democracy, but it seems a little farfetched using this argument.
