Addendum -- What Conditions Gave Rise to Power of the German Nazis?

I could add ten more items as to the conditions that gave rise to power of the German Nazis, but that is not my intention, as I like to keep my commentaries brief and just cover important points. However, I missed a very important point. That is, the rise of the radical left element within Germany apart from the threat of Communism posed by the Russian Revolution of 1917. These radicals are motivated to radically change the society as it has existed for a long time and challenge the long established traditions, including the religion of the majority. They are never content with the way things are, or with changes made slowly, and have an attitude of change for the sake of change and change now.  Obama is the most recent example of a radical in American politics. Obama's election on the main promise of Change exposed ignorance and immaturity of the American voters more than ever before. They fall for the false promise of change for the better, which is rare. Other notable radicals in news are Paul Krugman and Elena Kagan, both are more like Communists but have taken the garb of socialism, or liberal, or progressive, because Communism is no longer popular among Americans and one would get very little support. Many of the former Communists, or leftist radicals, in America turned into neo-cons, in politics, and neo-Keynesians in economics. Economics profession, as it relates to the public policy, is dominated by habitual liars, or manipulators, Greenspan and Bernanke being fine examples. "Oh, but I couldn't have known" is how these liars explain their major failures that many had fully known and warned about.

 

The system of the Crooks in America is operated by liars, both on the left and on the right. I don't know the current state of radicalism in India, but America is infested with radical left at the top levels of economics and politics. The danger of the reaction against it is far greater when minorities form the dominant part of the radical element, left or right. On the other side of the isle, Republicans had major boobs as Presidents in Reagan and GW Bush. Obama is reaction to the bad economic policies under the later boob. Yeah, yeah, tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. Aren't Americans easy dopes when it comes to choosing a President? The two parties work very hard to breed dopes, at a young age, and then keep them doped. Propagandist Rush Limbaugh makes a good income doing that. Doping, or propaganda, is one of the best businesses in America to make money and gain fame. The ground could not have been better prepared for a Hitler like leader to be elected the President once the depression, very likely to be the worst in US history, cannot be pushed farther into the future as Bernanke & Co are desperately trying to do with short-term policies that aren't working. This should also give you an idea as to why Krugman is so worried. Depression is coming to America, coming to India, and both countries are prime candidates for Nazi-like (nationalistic, rightwing) regimes. Sorry, I don't have a solution, as someone has asked, and I am not in the solutions business. I leave fantasies to others. People should focus on personal issues under the conditions that I foresee.

Something for Americans and Indians to Ponder: What Conditions Gave Rise to Power of the German Nazis?

1. Democracy! Under no other form of govt would Nazis have gained political power in Germany.

2. "Communist" threat!! Is there a large Communist country that poses economic and political threat to these two "democracies?"

3. Reaction against the bankers and financiers, especially, against those fanning speculation via stocks and commodities exchanges at the expense of the producer class, specially, the working class. In particular, German intellectuals were against the Anglo-American system that was controlled by the moneyed interests at the expense of all other interests including the lives lost in wars fought for the sake of "moneybags," e.g., the Boar War. Historically, the control of the govt passed from the landed and military aristocracy to the moneyed interests of traders and industrialists to bankers and financiers, exemplified by Rothschilds in England and J.P. Morgan in the US. Over the past 15 years, the bankers and financiers in the US have turned into pure crooks by introducing widespread fraud into the system itself. With the control of the govt and the regulators these banking and finance crooks were able to turn what were essentially fraudulent activities (I warned so at the time!) into legal activities, which in the case of American legalism is anything that is not strictly prohibited is by definition legal, or allowable. This leaves door wide open for financial innovation whose real harmful nature people don't find out until after the damage has been done. The Crooks go scot-free.

4. Economic depression, as the Great Depression in the US spread to Europe.

5. Large number of dissatisfied people among the majority, especially, material, or economic, dissatisfaction, but also the feeling of an ineffective government. The majority in the case of the US is white Christians and in the case of India it is the "upper" caste (excluding the untouchables) Hindus. The politically correct environment in the two countries is a horrendous practice that exacerbates the dissatisfaction of the majority.

6. Diversity!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thorstein Veblen, a famous American sociologist, predicted troubles in Germany based on the greater diversity of the population in terms of cultural habits and temperament. I can list, but I would not!, at least six significant groups whose temperaments and cultural values are sufficiently different. Some of these groups insist on playing by different rules! America is ripe for ethnic explosion because of the imprudence of certain politically active minorities. Ethnic politics in America is growing because it pays! Obama is a big beneficiary.

7. New electronic media, i.e., radio that was used in propaganda that is central to success in a democracy, especially for a charismatic personality. Now, of course, we have not only the TV but also the Internet. Things have never been better for a charismatic figure, a demagogue. There is nothing like bad times to bring a charismatic leader to the fore, especially, in very large population countries like America and India. America and India are too big to be able to correct the multifaceted problems that affect different geographies and different groups disproportionately and in different ways. Central Planning is more likely to fail in a larger country than in a smaller country. Big is ugly!!!

 

Now that all the govt interventions to postpone the long awaited depression (depressions, like recessions, are part of the modern capitalistic system) are due to exhaust themselves within a few short years the Made-In-USA, once again!, Greater Depression would engulf the world economies. This is more so because the American banking and finance system has been copied by India and many other countries. Most importantly, the system has been controlled by the crooks who have already cashed out trillions of dollars with the households and taxpayers laden with debt. Crooks have no incentive to risk their trillions and they can easily take that capital to any country that they feel safe in and leave the rest high and dry. It is a sad commentary on those Americans who are proud of the current system, and show that pride by voting election after election after election, and in essence agree to be ruled by liars and cheaters. That is what lifelong brainwashing can do to an otherwise intelligent person.

 

The reasons listed above more or less guarantee that Nazi-like (not the same as the German Nazis) regimes are likely to come to power in America and India via the vote once the global depression sets in. Actually, there is a working model now in existence that would be copied closely! I would cover this in the next commentary on this subject. Prepare for safety as best as your circumstance permits. Forewarned is forearmed!
