The 1930s was a disgrace to the USA.

Nearly 1,000 uniformed men (click here) wearing swastika arm bands and carrying Nazi banners parade past a reviewing stand in New Jersey on July 18, 1937. The New Jersey division of the German-American Bund opened its 100-acre Camp Nordland at Sussex Hills. Dr. Salvatore Caridi of Union City, spokesman for a group of Italian-American Fascists attending as guests, addressed the bund members as "Nazi Friends."

These men organized after WWI. The second world war would begin with the election of Adolph Hitler in 1933.

...After becoming Chancellor of Germany in 1933, (click here) Hitler swiftly consolidated power, anointing himself Führer (supreme leader) in 1934. Obsessed with the idea of the superiority of the “pure” German race, which he called “Aryan,” Hitler believed that war was the only way to gain the necessary “Lebensraum,” or living space, for the German race to expand. In the mid-1930s, he secretly began the rearmament of Germany, a violation of the Versailles Treaty. After signing alliances with Italy and Japan against the Soviet Union, Hitler sent troops to occupy Austria in 1938 and the following year annexed Czechoslovakia. Hitler’s open aggression went unchecked, as the United States and Soviet Union were concentrated on internal politics at the time, and neither France nor Britain (the two other nations most devastated by the Great War) were eager for confrontation....

The history of this disastrous movement began long before the radical right wing of the Republican Party discovered how fear can capture votes.

The most important promoter of racial ideology in Europe (click here) during the mid-19th century was https://www.britannica.com/topic/race-human/Gobineaus-Essay-on-the-Inequality-of-Human-Races, who had an almost incalculable effect on late 19th-century social theory. Published in 1853–55, his Essay on the Inequality of Human Races was widely read, embellished, and publicized by many different kinds of writers. He imported some of his arguments from the polygenists, especially the American Samuel Morton. Gobineau claimed that the civilizations established by the three major races of the world (white, Black, and yellow) were all products of the white races and that no civilization could emerge without their cooperation. The purest of the white races were the Aryans. When Aryans diluted their blood by intermarriage with lower races, they helped to bring about the decline of their civilization.

Following Boulainvilliers, Gobineau advanced the notion that France was composed of three separate races—the Nordics, the Alpines, and the Mediterraneans—that corresponded to France’s class structure. Each race had distinct mental and physical characteristics; they differed in character and natural abilities, such as leadership, economic resourcefulness, creativity, and inventiveness, and in morality and aesthetic sensibilities. The tall, blond Nordics, who were descendants of the ancient Germanic tribes, were the intellectuals and leaders. Alpines, who were brunet and intermediate in size between Nordics and Mediterraneans, were the peasants and workers; they required the leadership of Nordics. The shorter, darker Mediterraneans he considered a decadent and degenerate product of the mixture of unlike races; to Gobineau they were “nigridized” and “semitized.”...

It is a paradigm worth recognizing in other cultures, but, never has it ended humanly or without ethnic cleansing or racism.

The country of India there has been a Caste System that oppresses people into poverty while maintaining the elite in their roles.

Manusmriti, (click here) widely regarded to be the most important and authoritative book on Hindu law and dating back to at least 1,000 years before Christ was born, "acknowledges and justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society".

The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Many believe that the groups originated from Brahma, the Hindu God of creation....

Probably one of the more deadly paradigms that adhere to difference in a person as important to discriminate in governance is that of Islam. In the 21st Century, that entire jihad thing is grossly wrong and available yet today for radicals to harness and bring hate and fear to people to justify atrocities. Why is it that mass murder is viewed as necessary to anyone?

...The division (click here) between Shia and Sunni dates back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632. This event raised the question of who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation.

Sunnism is the largest and most orthodox branch of Islam. The word Sunn, in Arabic, comes from a word meaning "one who follows the traditions of the Prophet."

Sunni Muslims agree with many of the Prophet's companions at the time of his death: that the new leader should be elected from among those capable of the job. For example, following Prophet Muhammad's death, his close friend and adviser, Abu Bakr, became the first Caliph (successor or deputy of the Prophet) of the Islamic nation.

On the other hand, some Muslims believe that leadership should have stayed within the Prophet's family, among those specifically appointed by him, or among Imams appointed by God Himself.

Shia Muslims believe that following the Prophet Muhammad's death, leadership should have passed directly to his cousin and son-in-law, Ali bin Abu Talib. Throughout history, Shia Muslims have not recognized the authority of elected Muslim leaders, choosing instead to follow a line of Imams which they believe have been appointed by the Prophet Muhammad or God Himself....

Hate and fear go hand in hand. Where hate becomes justifiable within the politics of any form of governance, what will ultimately result is a judgement of one authority to solidify ultimate control of POWER.

The Rwandan Genocide is well known (click here). There was a power shift in the country and within 4 days hundreds of thousands of people were dead for no other reason, except, the desire for ultimate power.

FOUR DAYS.

FOUR DAYS.

FOUR DAYS.

This type of ideology is extremely dangerous. No one thought for a moment that Vladimir Putin would be so ruthless to achieve the end of every Ukrainian in the 21st Century. It may not have achieved the numbers of dead as with Rwanda, but, it has been vastly dangerous resulting in the deaths and displacement of nearly an entire race of people. 

This is not to be tolerated in American politics. The only movement within the USA that should be tolerated is the goal of peace and prosperity that equates happiness. The poor has opportunity to upward movement. The Middle Class has the ability to educate their children and improve their lives with real happiness within families and communities. The Middle Class is America. It is where wealth takes place to the wealthy. The Middle Class has to succeed to bring about a vibrant economy. Economic exploitation and the viciousness of capitalism to deliver exclusive wealth is not part of a healthy America.
