And The arian
agenda in the 30's and 40's was championed by a short, brown-haired,
brown eyed Austian who was 1/8 jewish.

That last is not true. Hitler was not 1/8 Jewish. As far as historians
can
trace, Hitler had no Jewish ancestors. IIRC, the claims that he was part
Jewish come from the fact that his grandmother became pregnant while
working
as a maid for a Jewish family. However, no one in the family fathered her
child.

The irony is that Judaism is a major world religion and not a race! I wonder
how many of Hitler's "Jews" were Atheists, Agnostics, Baha'is, Catholics,
Protestants, etc. only sharing a familial tie or crude Semitic resemblance?
It is mind-boggling how ignorant a people can be when so collectively angry
that they need a shared "enemy" just to cooperate with eachother, or so
desperate to raise money for a "cause" that they'll consider anything...

With fascists, I think the issue is neither religion nor race, but minority
exploitation. If Mussolini's take on fascism is anything to go by (complete
suppression of individualism for the benefit of society), fascism is centred
around the idea more recently expressed as "the good of the many outweigh
the good of the few" in absence of classifying good into "rights", "needs",
"wants", "whims", etc. This seems to result in the wealthiest minority being
the first to be targeted for robbery and mass murder.

Only this kind of economy is not sustainable because the fascists
effectively butcher and cook the magic goose after stealing the last golden
egg and so they must pillage the next wealthiest minority - and on and on it
goes until viable minority groups are thin on the ground and the fascists
are forced by their own economic mechanism of robbery, to invade another
country to keep the dollars rolling in. Never mind the crap about the glory
of battling it out for the father/mother/holy land. War and persecution boil
down to crude robber baron economics, regardless of the "cause" cited as
justification.

In the case of Hitler I believe that his physical attributes alone would
have made him a "Jew" in the eye's of his fellow Nazis had he not been
"great leader" & that had Hitler not been "great leader" I believe he too
would have been stripped of assets and shipped off to a death camp. It is
well known that this was the nature of Nazi law. If memory serves; in the
event that a familial relationship could not be established with a target
minority, physical characteristics of the individual were examined in minute
detail for evidence of that target minority. It takes a lot of money to
build a vast cutting edge army.

This has been said so often before that what you are about to read from me
is but cheap cliché...

The lesson of fascism and fundamentalism is simple; Beliefs centred on
personal integrity are fine, but "causes" cited for the purpose of
re-engineering society not in it's own image but in the image dictated or
otherwise suggested by an individual entity (person, organisation, or
corporation) not being the whole of that society, are always fraught with
danger:

1. to the sanctity of human life & rights as upheld by any legitimate
community
2. to individual lives and livelihoods through no fault of their own
3. to the personal integrity of individuals - what some would call the soul.

....Cliché or no, communities cannot afford to forget that more than 60
million human beings including 6 million "Jews", and 5 million people from
other minority groups were murdered during WWII at the hands of persons
acting for a "cause" over and above their own personal integrity.

Never sacrifice your personal integrity for a cause,
no matter how "good" or "great" it claims to be...
