What happened last time the Nazis were ignored?
3 comments

The last 70 years.
Look on the bright side. The last time they were banned - 1939.
You mean when the redshirts rioted and killed 24 people which pushed the public towards the brownshirts and ultra-nationalism? Was that when we're imagining the Nazis were ignored?
There's this event called the second world war.
He's referring to the fact that a major catalyst for the Nazis gaining power was German communists engaging in what was practically open warfare with them.
They sold themselves as law and order - in contrast to the civil war there militant wing fought with the communists in the street.

Thats the real danger here. A hysteric left and some right outliers creating the basis for continuously improving anti-terror laws. Oh.. too late.
