In fact Karl Marx was German and his many great works had a significant influence on the German people.
I truly believe that Hitler was the free market capitalist solution to rising socialist and communist fervor against capitalism. Hitler was funded by the bushes/Prescotts and many other uber rich of the time. The uber rich in Germany thought Hitler would be the perfect choice to keep those radical leftist in their place. They couldn't have missed his race baiting of the Jewish people or his dictatorial desires. Yet the uber rich in Germany and the US funneled tons of money to Hitler to make sure he rose to power.
Follow the money and you find out who is really controlling the puppet. Hitler was never a deep thinker. His book struck me as very shallow thinking, much like Ayn Rand. Yet, he managed to mesmerize all these people. There is something else going on. It wasn't just Hitler's amazing abilities. Someone was funding him so he could hire some very deep thinkers to help him.
When I see the reels on TV of Hitler given speeches, everyone acts as if he's some wonderful speaker. But he's NOT. He's a funny looking little guy with a weird mustache and haughty manner. Nothing about him is nobel or admirable. Yet he was all dressed up with all the right trappings, saying the right things at the right time. He was doing masterful manipulation even though he had already revealed to the world what an evil little twerp he was. It was the money that made Hitler possible. It was the gobs of wealth the 1% dumped on Hitler that made him successful. It was NOT his abilities or speeches or amazing manipulation that allowed him to rise to power.
See how the 1% always provide a solution to ensure capitalism marches on, no matter what the consequences.
