Could the Nazis ever return?

Post by Lozzer » Sun Feb 13, 2011 4:32 pm

The National Socialism thread got me thinking: suppose the conditions were so, and the horrors of the past forgotten; could Nazism have a resurgence? Cults and religious sects occasionally arise from complete dormancy, so why couldn't fascism? It would only take one country, one charismatic figurehead and many enthusiastic neo-Nazis to manifest a modern Nazi state.

If such a regime existed in the future, and had a greater 'liberalism' and the 'progression' of the human race at the core of its policy, would you support it?

Evil always returns. It will hide. It will mutate and adapt. Then when the time is right. It returns. And the form it takes will appear reasonable necessity at first as always. The only protection is vigilance.

I suspect not in quite the same form. But there are loads of examples of totalitarianism of course. Imagine a victorious Iranian state trying to invade and impose Islamic theocracy on all its neighbours with nuclear weapons to back it up..

Of course it could return. Because it's a part of human nature, and that's unlikely to change. Unless the Nazis get in, and decide to "improve" it.

I would vote (maybe only once :funny: ) for a Party that was a lot more Nationalist (about both protecting and enhancing Britains self interests - i.e. if invading somewhere make sure we come back with more cash than it cost :fp: ) and a bit more socialist (on spreading the money) amongst the masses.

To be blunt am very tired of those who think I should be paying for the Rest of the World, whether by cheques sent overseas or in cash as and when they get off the banana-jet over here. and I am a supporter of immigration!

Folk overseas want support from UK Plc?? - send 'em a Xmas card :biggrin:


I think the name Nazi is beyond any PR revamp.......Maybe call it Liberal Democracy - and we all get to wear socks with sandels.........whilst gassing Jews. No, no - this time no jew gassing. promise :whistle:

Thinking about this a bit more..........

.......I don't think the Nazi's will return - given how we treated them last time.

Unless it's a really good apology.

Humans being humans, such humans still exist and if any of them are ambitious enough and charasmatic enough and have resources enough, of course but under a different name. And it isn't so much that such people exist, it's that the general populace are so fucking gullible and easily swayed.

Just wait until the Tea Party have scores a few political successes and see how their rhetoric changes.
