I think you will understand how analogy works by watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fI3KEgy6c

edited to add: Beware, for history repeats itself. Just because heinous crimes were documented in the past is no guarantee that they will not be repeated by spineless authoritarians.

Ah, I seem to have given you more credit than you deserve. I watched the video but it's not related to any part of this discussion.

Just because an analogy has been made does not make it a good one.
