why do people still speak of Hitler these days?

[Zebra]

should he not best be forgotten?

should he not best be forgotten?

/---/ As a philosopher, Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

The question should be is why is he singled out over the other Despots of the 20th century, Stalin, Mao, and Pot?

Thanks for making this thread. Now I will not forget him.

/---/ One reason is the Left has a soft spot for communist dictators who slaughter their own people, like Stalin, Mao, and Pot. Fascists and Commies hate each other.

From the "true communists" I know they always make excuses about "poor execution" of Marx's ideas.

Hitler has become the symbol for the worst human being in world history.

He is an example of just how bad right wing governance can go if left unchecked.

I'm not. I'm dispensing advice.

And it's good advice too, but you won't take it.

because a lot of the history and media lean left, and while they may hate the people like Stalin, Mao and Pot, they have a soft spot for the source of their systems.

Again, to them it's not that Marxism sucks, it's that it has never been properly implemented.

People still speak of Cleopatra, Alexander the Great and many others. Hitler isn't going to go away. He's synonymous with evil.

/---/ Another dodge.

He's the ultimate monster.
Fits well into demagoguery.

If for no other reason so people could understand what Hitler did,
Which I'm pretty sure they don't.

I don't think the Democrats realize how slapstick they sound.
Emboldened &
Enchanted by the sounds of their own
Collective voice,
Including their own journalists.
