The sad truth is that at the time fascism rose in Germany, it was not objectively so barbarian at all in comparison with the the current practice of nearly all surrounding empires. It was barbarian only in comparison with the expectations set forth by the Weimar Republic as for the kind of democracy or social democracy they aimed for, but those expectations had never materialized and were clearly proven to be impossible to materialize, the main of them being the lack of physical resources to give a decent life to all as the traditional Hinterlands Germany traditionally used as de facto colonies, mainly Russia, had all of a sudden disappeared. The Nazi Régime was not more barbarian than former Bismarck’s régime, the Nazi régime was not more barbarian in any way than the British Empire’s, it was not any more than what the US had become too and were becoming more and more with the depression. Even the first Nazi racial laws were paler copies of the US current practice of then. Even the first Nazi concentration camps were the mere reproduction at a smaller scale of what was the current French practice of then, an empire that was lavish with forced labour as a way to enforce social discipline, and the British Empire, where permanent internment camps were the norm to settle colonial disputes with unruly provinces or ethnic groups. Germany, for want of any real possibility to make the Weimar Republic utopia come true, just opted for a more realistic solution, going back to the best of pre-war Wilhelmian imperial normalcy, and behaving like any other unashamed colonial empire in Europe, and it seemed to work. The Nazi political rhetoric was barbarian but not any more so than the British Empire’s. The news were at last seeping out of USSR that it was indeed barbarian beyond the worst expectations set by the worst bourgeois analysts and this dealt a mortal blow to the hopes of German socialists and communists which had been the power engine of hope for a better future Germany : the communists had clearly nothing to propose but a bloody revenge against all people living to well and the installation of a regime of eternal breadlines to the benefit of a tiny elite of state management professionals, and the social democratic movement could do nothing but to to do what the lenders and the sponsors of all political parties told them to do, right like as of now with EU social democracy. The Nazi movement did not look like the worst alternative at all, and most of its barbarity was up to WWII rhetoric and limited to the cultural sphere, Hitler’s awful ceremonies of pagan personality worship were seen as a kind of series of rap concerts for Whites and very little else.
