Comment on Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban?
NathanielThomas@lemmy.world 1 year agoI mean, the question would be who qualifies as a Nazi? The Nuremburg trials did execute the leadership. Others who were in the SS or SA were imprisoned.
But you couldn’t kill the rank and file or that would be potentially killing soldiers just following orders.

Nah, they should have killed anyone and everyone in the party in germany, and anyone that had beem supporters here in the US, or anywhere. Some things have to be stomped out regardless of the cost.
If they had been less gentle, we wouldn’t have to deal with the resurgences that have happened over the years. If it did come back, it would have been weaker, andn the symbols with less power.
It’s the one extremist thing I am convinced of, that the only acceptable nazi is a dead nazi

Hate rhetoric takes many forms, even if you killed each and every Nazi regardless of whether they truly believed in that crap or were just following orders, it would still probably be revived as something with a different name.

Sure!
But it wouldn’t be the same, and it wouldn’t be the rallying point.
