Hitler actually says in Mein Kampf that, as his Party grew, he needed an economic stand, too. Almost all the other parties were, as they are today, about the government’s role in the economy, from socialists and communists to a few libertarians.

Hitler explained how he found a philosopher to put one in his platform, though I forget for now who it was, and Hitler said he didn’t care either.

The Depression lasted a decade in America, and wasn’t half over when WWII broke out. Hitler ended the German Depression in a couple of years. This was because the New Deal was mostly an economic program, while Hitler just ended the problem and went on to other things.

The more your philosophy deals with economics, the worse your economy is going to be. Marxism says economics is everything, and the Soviet Union was still going down that road when it finally collapsed.

Hitler did what it took the United States thirty years to copy from him. He built a superhighway system and invented the VW that filled our first superhighways in the 1960s.

Hitler WAS fascinated by Lebensraum. He had a program for it. That, the thing he had a program for, destroyed him.

But Hitler adopted his economic program because he had to have one. So when he actually took over, and push came to shove, he just ignored that nonsense and went ahead and got the German people back to work.

Meanwhile, Roosevelt had two things going, his debt spending to end the Depression, and his Draconian taxes and regulations. Pretty well everybody now knows that high taxes and a lot of regulation make the economy go down. Every actual economist in the 1930s, contrary to what Keynes and historians have since said, actually advocated deficit spending to end the Depression.

When you put in a maximum income tax rate at 91%, the economy is going to suffer.

The British Labor Party had a program. One part of it was nationalizing industry. So when Labor won an election, it would begin to buy up the big industries and put the bureaucracy in control of them, and when the Conservatives won, the same nonsense would be repeated.

Libertarians want open borders. How long would an elected Libertarian Party last if the third world poured in? They are, after all, coming here to escape the results of their own politics.

No one today looks at the economic history of Britain in the generation after WWII because, while the Conservative Party won the elections, its program was much the same as that of the old Labor Party.

No one looks at Marxism or Democratic Socialism in Britain because just to recite it is hideously embarrassing to the left, and no one who did could get a job as a respectable conservative.

Just as you couldn’t get a job as a respectable conservative if you kept reminding people that every Communist country, and ONLY Communist countries, caged their people in with barbed wire, machine guns and land mines.

People were told to believe that the Berlin Wall was something special.

Every Communist country, and ONLY Communist countries, caged their entire population in.

No one asked why.

White leaders are not the first to reject an observation everybody knows about but no one says. They watched me pound many a Commie into the ground with it but it never occurred to them to use it.

What sells and makes the media choose one as a Spokesman for a protest is not the same thing that works.
