The Nazi Experiment Defined
- The Nazi experiment was a response to Germany's post-WWI crisis and aimed to solve social, economic, and political instability.
- It ultimately failed disastrously, serving as a warning against extremist solutions in similar conditions.
Nazis as Ultra-Progressive Movement
- Nazis positioned themselves as an ultra-progressive force to clear away traditional chaos and stop Marxism.
- Their rhetoric eerily resembles that of modern 'woke right' movements claiming to fight a corrupt elite.
Corrupt Democracy vs Nazi Faith

- Nazis sought to replace this with a rigid, emotionally charged political faith that unites and motivates the masses.
