Every
nation which has allowed itself to descend greedily into economic and moral ruin
has eventually fallen prey to autocracy or dictatorship. There comes an eloquent “messiah” (e.g. a community
organizer) to fan the flames of nationalism (e.g. Der Nationalsozialistische
Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - NAZI). The
Leader (e.g. Der Fuhrer) focuses blame for the national dilemma ( e.g. high
unemployment; valueless currency) on someone else and the nation begins to
rationalize that it is (they are) owed compensation. This rationalization leads
to political chaos (e.g. present day Greece)… and often war (e.g. Japanese
invasion of Manchuria).
History
is screaming a warning at our Nation. But some do not understand the language
of history.
