  When people think fascist, they think Germany 1945. They need to think German 1933.

  So German corporations gave Hitler power because corporations wanted even more power and more money. F*ck that sounds familiar..<br><br><br>Update: Corporations support democracy only when it is profitable, switching to dictators when democracy costs them too much. Dominant corporations often act as extractive elites in these situations.<br><br>In 1933 democracy cost was perceived as to high and they gave absolute power to Hitler. The goal was to eliminate trade unions, stop labor strikes, and secure state contracts for rearmament. Twelve years later Germany was in ruins, literally, with eight million Germans killed.<br><br>The 1930s &quot;economic miracle&quot; was a rearmament bubble built on hidden debt; without invading other countries to seize their gold and resources, the Nazi state would have faced total bankruptcy by 1939.<br><br>Capitalism is the best economic system we know of, it incentivizes innovation through creative destruction. But this can only work if the country has open and inclusive institutions. If institutions instead become corrupt end extractive, capitalism becomes a tool for corruption and evil.

  Fascism didn’t come back. It was simply never gone.

  I think that this a great example of how history does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

  As an Italian, I want to inform everybody that implementing Fascism is cultural appropriation. We invented it!

  I&apos;m stunned. &nbsp;This has got to be the video that has pulled together the most understanding for me about what Hitler/Mussolini/fascism etc. was all about. &nbsp;I&apos;m sure that there is a lot more understanding that could be presented but not in a one hour presentation. &nbsp;It&apos;s also very scary how 2 well located evil people could manipulate so many people. &nbsp;Well done and thank you.

  You forgot to add to your list: the control of speech, the control of ideas, the rewriting of history, and the redrafting of governing documents.

  &quot;Illiberal Democracy&quot; sounds kinda like fascism with a better PR department.

  One of your best videos ever. The use of actual primary source footage and documents of fascist speeches, rallies, etc. is so impactful.
