RE: Collectivism: When are we going to learn?
Politics is not something that I usually get involved in, even if its historical and based in fact. With that being said, I think its important to point out how Hitler was able to rise to power and to do the things that he did with so much support behind him so that we don't have a similar incident happen. We should always look to history to learn from past mistakes so they aren't repeated. Unfortunately, he was an excellent speaker and told people what they wanted to hear so they followed him blindly in the beginning. We should be mindful of those that tell us what we want to hear or things that are too good to be true. You have made some good points here.

Thanks for your comment, you are very kind.
Indeed, Hitler was an excellent speaker and everything always rely on the education we received, although some intellectuals remain there and supported Hitler much flight away from there because they knew what was coming. Hitler is a lesson to everyone and collectivism and mob society are the consequences of not being really aware of what's happening.
We learn history not to know meaningless facts, we learn history because in that way we learned from what was done and how we could avoid it.
