I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, and thinking you used "Hitler" as some kind of extreme example.
But it appears that you not only agree with his tactics, (and those of Communist China), it also indicates that you are an advocate of authoritarian Socialism.
I am from the USA, and I adhere to the principles of liberty established not only by our Founders, but by all the great thinkers in History.
Those who advocated for the greatest individual freedoms, with the lightest government controls possible needed to maintain citizen's individual rights. As well as to protect such rights from enemy threats both foreign and domestic.
So I can't agree with your ideological positions....nor your ad hominem attacks on fellow citizens who are trying to freely express their disagreements with government exercise of power.
Let me tell you something. We have no freedom and democracy in Germany. That's just a facade. With tricks and underhanded methods, democracy has been undermined. The citizens are massively manipulated by the mass media and this undermines democracy. Germans have to pay 8000 million Euro every year for the mass media with compulsory fees.
These mass media are extremely one-sided. According to studies, almost 90% of journalists are green-red. Conservatives and right-wing parties are hunted down with the worst of methods. This is not a fair democracy! This is a sham democracy! One can also observe the problem with the topic Donald Trump. The German mass media systematically report negatively about Trump. Every day there is some news that emphasizes some negative aspect. Often completely insignificant details. But everything that can be used negatively against Trump is built up into a news item.
The big problem of democracy is party democracy. I had already written it somewhere in the forum. There are about, say, 100 important topics. There is party a and party b and party c. Each of these parties has, let's say, the same opinion as me on 30 important issues. No matter which party I vote for, I always vote against my own opinion by a majority. That is a joke, not a democracy. The Swiss do better with referenda. But that's only democratic if the citizens can obtain comprehensive, objective and neutral information. That is not possible with the mass media, which in Germany povide very one-sided information and are financed with EUR 8000 million in compulsory fees.
We have no democracy, only a sham democracy. Nor do we have freedom, but only the appearance of freedom. And I say this to them. The Chinese are more honest! They do not cheat the population with tricks. Their dictatorship works very well, at least at the moment, and the country has been able to make great progress in a very short time. The Chinese could have chosen. They'd have been manipulated too. Maybe they would have believed Western propaganda, maybe incompetent people would have come to the government. If the Chinese regime hadn't put down the student uprising at the time, would it have been better in terms of development and prosperity? Probably not! The regime did indeed quell the protest. But at the same time they took responsibility for the construction of China and did their best! Today, after decades, they have justified the defeat as being right one has to say that fortunately the student uprising was crushed.
And as for Germany, National Socialism had a lot of potential to be a sustainably successful social system. Much of what was good and right in National Socialism is today very neglected and that is not good. There was the persecution of the Jews, but the genocide would have happened only once anyway, that is the nature of the matter. For example, I think it is right and important that hereditary fetuses are selected. So that the body of the people remains healthy. The socialism of the National Socialists was also very good and just. The Volksgemeinschaft, all brothers and sisters who build together and create progress. This has so much positive potential...
I see a lot of degeneration and bad developments today. In former times there was the mother cross, today only the Arabs have enough children in Germany. We have no democracy, because the people who see the degeneration and want to counteract it are massively suppressed. They are deprived of the majority who could convince them. If there were true democracy, then the AFD would form the next government in Germany. Because most citizens still think like the AFD. But against it the mass media stand those with 8000 million Euro per year, which educate people to the wanted degeneration.
Democracy does not work! What is good about democracy is suppressed and prevented. We also have nothing else than in China, see the reality! But our regime is not as good as the one in China. Because we in Germany are degenerating on many levels.
