    Hitler’s activities within Germany at his arrest were those of a street agitator akin to someone like Enrique Tario. The liberals in government liked that the fascist movement was wrecking the socialists in the streets and taking their rhetoric and twisting it towards right-wing projects.

    Hitler didn’t get his minimal punishment to avoid a war.

    And the Allies joined the war because they realized it would be devastating to their empires if they let the Axis take whatever they wanted.

      It doesn’t make sense to universalize that moment into some kind of lesson about liberalism and fascism though. And the USSR only joined the war when attacked after havjng conspired to split Poland with fascist Germany.

        Liberals always seem to be the first to ally with fascists against the left.

        This was my original claim, which I really meant to apply to fascists taking over within a society: it seems to be universally true that when this occurs it’s because the liberal governments acquiesce to fascist creep because they’re seen as a useful tool against the left.

        I did enjoy discussing the wider context of this, but it’s not really what I meant; I was emphasizing the first in the sentence.
