- From the page: "There are Jews who have repudiated their own ancestors in order to become â€oeHonorary Aryans and Nazis”; there are full-blooded Jews who have enthusiastically entered Hitlerâ€s secret service. Nazism has nothing to do with race and nationality. " Enthusiastically my fucking ass. This was a means of survival and it didn't work most of the time; they were still sent to labor and concentration camps...or shot in the streets like dogs. And the tone in which she wrote "full-blooded Jews" makes me want to go back in time and kick her in the face.

- Thanks "Jedencorrell." I loved your review so joined the fun. This is an accurate depiction of present day America. I have always said that complacency is the worst plague of our country. The majority think war and chaos is the norm, but we will likely get to see the results of karma this time.

writtenpublished in 1941.
"Mr. B has risen beyond his real abilities by virtue of health, good looks, and being a good mixer. He married for money and he has done lots of other things for money. His code is not his own; it is that of his class -- no worse, no better. He fits easily into whatever pattern is 'successful.' That is his sole measure of value: success. Nazism as a minority movement would not attract him. As a movement likely to attain power, it would."
This is the problem with trying to categorize ourselves within something so imaginary as the political world. Politicians stand for nothing in common with an "average" American. Yet it is so god damn important to fall in fucking line with what the majority opinion is?
You'll have to excuse me. My blood is still boiling from debating withdrawal from Iraq with my "liberal" aunt and uncle over the weekend. On the surface they view it as a "business transaction". Ooh, I was hopping. - I, too, am surprised this was

- I might start playing this game. Surprising and chilling read, a little piece of 1941 that really communicates the perspective of the era.

- From the page: "It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times' in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

- An excellent Harpers article from 1941.

- An extremely interesting article about one person perspective of the Individual politics of a given group with a twist of psychology mixed in. A little unnerving considering my similarities to some of the characters.
