Regarding Fascism and Nazism. I think it is fair to say that the majority of Europeans who were conned into following tyrants agreed to go along with the con because the tyrants promised them economic prosperity. I could be wrong, but I feel that people trapped in the tyranny of poverty, especially when there is a lack of food, do not make good democrats.
This is why, 1n the 1930's, so many people opted either for Communism (labourers+political power) and/or Nazism (industrialists+political power)--both are forms of extreme socialism--wingisms. Left (proletariat--the poorer classes), or right (the rich elite upper classes who control the markets), both are the same, given power.
Germany, Italy, Japan and the like would not be the democracies they are today if the majority had remained poor when they became democracies.
THIS IS WHY I AM SUCH AN ENTHUSIASTIC NUT FOR THE FEATHERS--NOT WINGISM--APPROACH TO THE POLITICAL ECONOMY.
