Nazi History

8/3/09
Nazi is a short term for the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP). The Party took over the German government in 1933. The new government installed a totalitarian dictatorship in a series of measures in quick succession (from Wikipedia).
I encourage you to concentrate on the terms "worker's party" and "socialist" in the NSDAP name. Workers parties are a group of workers whose primary objective is increasing their wages and benefits. Workers parties are by definition socialistic. Note also that the socialistic aspect lasted only for a very short time as Hitler quickly became the totalitarian dictator. Once Hitler had the support of the people, the German Reichstag no longer had power.
There is a clear analogy of the German history with the present US political situation. Pres. Obama by his personal charisma and his ability for oratory has the clear support of the American public, as did Hitler in Germany. Pres. Obama has also passed a series of socialistic measures in quick succession.
Will the U.S. Congress become a football for president Obama, as did the German Reichstag for Hitler? There may be time for Congress to do something about it, while they still have some power.
50 million people died in Europe, many of whom were Americans, to wipe out the "worker's socialist program", but 60 years later it is again rising in a slightly different form much like the many heads of the "Hydra" of Greek mythology.
