Wait, so being a Nazi would be okay if they had won the war?

Might makes right and censorship of political opponents was Nazi canon. I thought you were saying their ideology was defeated.



Well, they had their chance to show what they'd do while in power, and it was very very bad.


We wouldn't be having this conversation if they had won the war - my family would be dead and I would never have been born. Excuse me for not protecting their right to speech (which leads to action).

Nazism isn't a point of contention anymore. We know what their rhetoric leads to (because they were allowed to rise and showed the world what the consequences are). That's why I said they lost the war. It's imho a pretty strong argument to draw the line right there, to ensure the sacrifices were not made for nothing.
