I have seen this over and over, both on the left and the right, but I guess it does bother me more on the right. On the left, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnist/wickham/2005-03-07-byrd-filibuster_x.htm" rel="nofollow">it tends to be more</a> like "Destroying the procedural checks and balances of democracy is what enabled Hitler to commit so many evils," whereas on the right it seems to be "Nazi Germany had universal health care, ergo universal health care is evil."<br /><br />My understanding is that Hitler and Stalin were evil because they deliberately killed millions of civilians, and because of the lesser violations of fundamental rights that both accompanied and made these genocides possible: the loss of due process, of free speech, of freedom of religion, of the right of free movement. With regard to Hitler, he is invoked because of the particular disgust we now feel for the idea of trying to wipe a particular ethnic group out of existence. Whatever else they did -- socialized industries, created cults of personality through youth groups, had mustaches -- is not why we find them so particularly awful above and beyond other evil dictators.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
