I have over the years participated in threads showing the correlation between Nazi Germany and today's Left.
Off the top of my head, here is the tally.
1. Hitler was an ardent environmentalist, passing cutting edge Progressive legislation to create nature parks and protecting endangered plants and animals and was appalled at the thought of building a damn to generate electricity, because he did not want to negatively effect nature.
Were the Nazis radical environmentalists?
2. Hitler love animals more than people. Hitler loved animals so much he was a vegetarian, and passed cutting edge Progressive legislation to protect them from such things as scientific experimentation. Instead, he used Jews whom he considered beneath animals.

3. Which leads us to Hitler and mass genocide. Hitler simply took away the humanity of the Jew by saying they were vermin and not really people, much like abortionists today saying that the fetus is not really human, until the Birth Fairy waves her magic wand over them as they exit the birth canal, that is.
4. Hitler hated capitalism more than Bernie Sanders. Hitler once said, "We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
Sound familiar?
5. Hitler created the first fire arm regulations in Europe. Hitler once said, "This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
6. The Nazi's were self identified socialists. This is what the Nazi party said, "We ask that government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living. The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within the confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand: ... an end to the power of financial interest. We demand profit sharing in big business. We demand a broad extension of care for the aged. We demand ... the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments. In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education.... We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents.... The government must undertake the improvement of public health -- by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor -- by the greatest possible support for all groups concerned with the physical education of youth. [W]e combat the ... materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good."
7. Hitler insisted on controlling the freedom of speech as they would stand around burning books they disagreed with or murdering people who were vocal against them. Today in universities around the US that have been taken over by the Left, we have "safe zones" where you are not allowed to "offend" Leftists with offensive thoughts. In fact, thanks to Leftist driven public education and higher education about half the country now believes in repealing the First amendment that gave us free speech, just like they wish to repeal the Second amendment to bear arms. Today, the Left is training a generation of our leaders to want to curb free speech.

8.But today I have found another correlation. Drug use.
https://www.history.com/news/inside-the-drug-use-that-fueled-nazi-germany
Is the use of illicit drugs by a totalitarian regime key to controlling the populace.
After all, the drugs that the Nazi regime used, including Hitler, took away their humanity. It also helped make them superhuman in some ways, as they did not require sleep during military campaigns and they were drugged to the point of having zero empathy for anything or anyone. And imagine facing an army without a fear of dying, or a concentration camp of guards without fear of facing retribution for their war crimes.
Was such drug use key in destroying the humanity of Germany so that they could engage in mass genocide and world conquest?
