It reminds me of the Palestinians wanting to go back to 1948. They don't any more, at least not for now.
Who wants to go back to 1948? No NHS, no housing after the war, food rationing, an enormous debt and all the other issues in Social History.
We have to learn from history, not want to bring it back. However, there has been so much distortion of the past (probably caused by teachers with their own views impressed on school students, that there has to be some teaching of the use of words.
Hitler introduced fascism to the world. He started off after the Great War, peeved at the outcome, when the defeated Germany was made to pay the price for that war, Hitler determined to get his own back. From 1920 he already knew what he wanted to do. Soon, got rid of the Chancellor, whose position he took, and passed a law which said he could not be opposed and could not be voted out of office.
Long before the start of WW2 he had already killed the mentally and physically disabled. Almost all the children in children's' homes died of 'measles'. Thousands of disabled people were forcibly made sterile so that the diseases could not be passed on through generations. He didn't just incarcerate Jews. He incarcerated and killed any group he didn't like and want in Germany, including gypsies, Romanys.
That, folks is what fascism means. He killed anyone he didn't like, race by race. His Germany would only have people of pure race, sort of like a modern dog breeder, breeding only the best dogs to have pedigree puppies. I suppose like today's Cruft shows.
That is fascism. There is nothing like it today except the persecution of women by the Taliban and the Ayatollah.
Like terrorists now who want to control all other creeds and colours, and the women. 60 years ago muslim women were not covered up like that. It is something only seen in Saudi. Suddenly, by the end of the 1980s more and more women were seen covered up, hiding their faces, under the control of men, being denied education, being denied jobs because they went through a monthly ''uncleanness'' and men could not risk them working at certain days of the month. They were married off as soon as puberty kicked in.
The Taliban now even denies women windows in their houses so that the men do not have to see them. They cannot go out in the sun and get the benefits of sunlight. They cannot go out unless a male child or adult is with them. Can you imaging a pregnant Afghan woman coping with misery and stress, inhumane rules, giving birth to babies with rickets because they are denied benefits of vitamins and sunshine?
The Taliban has other measures of forcing women to be subjugated under men. They openly admit to stoning and lashing women in public arenas, like a human sacrifice ceremony.
Women are incarcerated in prisons in Iran for showing a lock of hair.
THAT, folks, is fascism, and those people who stand outside the hotels with banners saying ''help the immigrants'' ''let them all in'' ''we welcome immigrants'' ''we should be tolerant and love them'' and similar banners, should think about what they are doing.
The are supporting single men of maritable and military age who sexually assault your girls and women, because they are taught that any woman who shows a bit of flesh must be prostitutes, because they are not covered up like muslim women.
The freedom of women in the west is imprinting on muslim women who want to be as free as their men.
That is fascism.
