National Socialism is politically applied biology — Hans Schemm

German fascism may have been a disaster but it has always intrigued me that politicians over a hundred years ago were far more knowledgable about ecology (and concerned about the environment, and their people's future) than anything we have today. During the Third Reich the average child would be able to clearly articulate why flooding your country with immigrants is a bad idea. Today's leaders less so.

"We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the whole of life, leads to humankind’s own destruction and to the death of nations. Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger. That is the fundamental point of the biological tasks of our age. Humankind alone is no longer the focus of thought, but rather life as a whole . . . This striving toward connectedness with the totality of life, with nature itself, a nature into which we are born, this is the deepest meaning and the true essence of National Socialist thought." — Lehmann
