Well of course through a failed phenomenologically reduced/deconstructed world, a world of signs, and postures, a world of bad faith, or irresolute hypocrisy, (the cynics were right), to today: Dan's edge, the very edge, gasping for relatedness, through attempts at escape through a door marked no exist, into the illusion of virtual reality of a faux enetertaining world of silent screens, and robbed souls. This is what the ubermensch is all about. A Buddha/socrates, a simple man, non deceitful, and brutally gentle, pre conditionally wise.

Yeah, plus there's birth control, and all kinds of other inherited genetic disorders that we treat. If you disagree with any of these things then make a case against them for goodness sake, stop slandering everything you don't like by calling it Naziism. At least give me a reason to think there's anything more here than that.

Wasn't communism the greatest enemy of Hitler?
And no, we do not just "treat" genetic disorders. We kill babies which have genetic disorders. Use the right words and the answer will come to you.

No. The German people were afraid of the Russians because of German atrocities against Russians. The Nazi government was more interested in eliminating Jewish people, Polish, Russian, German, as both an ethnic race and as a religion. But racial 'cleansing' was the more important thing to Hitler and his government, not Communism.
People in Greece may kill babies with potential genetic disorders, but not everyone in the US does. Children are born every day with no arms, legs, eyes--the evidence is there, if you look for it. Angelina Jolie and her double mastectomy was making a statement and using her name in the process. There are a lot of women who've gone through the same surgery in order to save their lives so they can care for the people around them. The actress has several children and a great probability that, without the surgery, she could have faced--along with her children--a slow and lingering death. That's a choice many women face.
As for German technical superiority, you haven't done your homework. Werner von Braun was one scientist among many from many countries who helped develop guided missiles for the US--after the War. During the war, the British developed an airplane that knocked the buzz bombs off course by diving down and hitting the bomb's wing with its own. It was the Hawker Tempest, Mark 6, and was very successful against the Nazi attack on the UK. The Nazi government didn't develop a 'guided' bomb--it developed a very early drone--a bullet that was aimed and fired. It's taken over 60 years for scientists(?)--technologists--to develop a piloted drone. The drone isn't pilotless--it's controlled by a pilot who just so happens not to be in the cockpit. This goes way beyond technology of 60-70 years ago.
It's really nonsense to believe the Nazi ideology "won" anything.
It's not that the 'FREE AND CIVILIZED' world is free of evil, but rather that it contains less evil than the Nazi world.We consider WWII as an event which resulted to the defeat of the bad, evil Nazis. Yes! We - the FREE and CIVILIZED world won the evil guys with the Hugo Boss uniforms! (yes, they were designed by Hugo)

The winners took what they considered to be good ideas and good technology. The fight against communism was a good fight (for the West). The missiles were good. Medical experimenting on prisoners is generally not considered good. Although there have been many examples of it being done in the West, the practice is condemned when it is revealed.
The communists were oppressive to their own people and to the people of the countries which they controlled. If they are not near you, then you have to wage the war elsewhere.The war against communism lasted for decades after WWII. I cannot see how fighting a was thousands of miles away from your home is "good".
There are no black hats and white hats ... all people wear grey hats and you need to decide what shade of grey is acceptable to you.I am against Hitler but I am also against every westerner trying to pose as a "good man" against all "evil" in the world.
Trying to manipulate the people is always bad.Trying to manipulate the people was bad when conducted by Goebbels but it is good when conducted by CNN. The first is "propaganda", the latter is "information"...
The Germany of the EU is not a Nazi Germany with its particular ideology. If Germany pursues a policy of gaining living space in the east and enslaving the Slavs, then one might consider it a Nazi victory.And finally, which is the country dominating the EU today? It is Germany, and in fact, if this presentation may hold any water, then indeed, the OP's assertion may turn out to be correct one.

He was also reluctant to attck the UK on race based adn then practical military concerns. He assumed that given their racial closeness they should be allies. Further this doesn't mean the Nazis won. We have more dogs as pets than we did before WW2 and Hilter liked dogs, but this does nto mean Hitler won.skakos wrote:1. Communism was finally crashed into oblivion (the MAIN political goal of Hitler - he always considered communists his greatest enemies and that is why he was so reluctant to attack UK and he even tried to offer them a truce!)
Then the US 'won'. Russia had the first satellites. Did that mean the Nazis lost?2. Modern space program continued based on V2 missiles and we finally got to the moon with the lead NAZI scientist leading NASA.
I have a tiny bit of sympathy here. I do think there is something sick in the way genetics is being conceived,b ut it isn't, for the most part, being conceived as a set of tools to create a victorious Aryan race.3. Medicine followed the example of Mengele to the full extent: We are every day bombared with news about how genes control our behaviour, how genes are responsible for who we are, how genes can change, how the genome can be manipulated et cetera. The experiments of Mengele were not an exception in the scientific community. Mengele was one of the many, working as an assistant professor at the famed Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Genetics. After WWII no one from this Institute was accused for anything... wrong (!!!) and the scientific academia did not find anything "weird" about these experiments. You may know the insitute in its current name: Max Planck. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Wilhelm_Institute_of_Anthropology,_Human_Heredity,_and_Eugenics] The dream of the Nazis for creating the new Arian race is going on. We are the heirs of that plan.
I think it would have been better to start with this last idea. It is not well supported by your post. The Nazi were a radically nationalistic, racist party skeptical about internationalizing forces. They would be horrified by the world today. The EU for example which directly affects German sovreignty. How much the races mix in all sorts of ways, black presidents, decadent media, postmodernist art - he was already shocked enough by modernist art, imagine how he would feel about MTV and performance art. The world is less like the one the Nazis would have wanted, much less. That certain memes are present in the present that can be found in Nazi Germany - but also in many other places - does not mean that the Nazis won.Every time I consider WWII I think about all the above. And I realize that WWII was like the case of Romans and ancient Greeks: Romans conquered the Greeks, only to be conquered back by their civilization. But in this case the West is not conquered by any "civilization" but by the terror of inhumanity...
Your thoughts?

The Nazis would take physical space. They intended(and partially succeeded) to deport the people from the land, kill them or enslave them. That has the key foreign policy in the east.
Is that what is happening in Greece?
So, if we redefine the standard meanings of war, enslavement, deportation and murder ... then EU Germany is exactly like Nazi Germany.Germany is the leader in EU and actually exploits it to its own purposes. In a way it has succeeded to conquer Europe but with economic means. And no matter what the problems tody, it just does not want to give up any of its powers no matter what. Wages in Greece have fallen about 30% in the last 3 years and yet our debt is still rising. Modern wars do not need to have blood...
