The Nazis in the article remind me of the political class in Croatia, where I live.

Once socialist one party rule collapsed, the whole ruling class divided itself into political parties and participated in the whole political spectrum, like nothing happened. Some of them became ardent anti-communists, despite being active parts of the old regime.

After ten years of center-right rule, some even switched sides and former nationalists (and before that communists) rebranded themselves as Christian democrats, Europeans, clean shaven centrists.

Some people are simply made for all regimes. They're the Nazis the author talks about.

I think it's that people tend to just go with their group. And when good people don't rise to oppose evil it snowballs into tragedy.
