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.
