Please stop with this "the left are the real nazis" bullshit. When you use coy indirection like "publications not considered 'friendly' to the Nazi cause" you're obfuscating that the target of the ban was communist propaganda. None of the ascent of the NSDAP happened in a vacuum. It happened in an environment of domestic and external threats created by communists, who had twice attempted to overthrow Germany before the NSDAP even formed. The KPD terrorized Germany for a full decade with the fey acquiescence of the liberal party before a fascist alternative emerged. This is what fascism is: resistance to bolshevic terrorism. Get this straight, please. The hour is getting late. We're not witnessing a repeat of the Third Reich, we're witnessing a repeat of Leninist tyranny. If you refuse to orient yourself to face the enemy who is actually attacking you, fine. We'll do without you. But don't keep misdirecting others with this garbage.

EDIT: And what, by the way, is at all comparable to the Riechstag fire? No fires were set. There was a peaceful demonstration in which the people occupied the offices of legislators who are supposedly only there at the pleasure of the People. Nothing was destroyed. The only violence occurred when a cop murdered an unarmed Air Force veteran. And, to reiterate, the people inflating this into a pretext for political repression are the left.

Why are you commenting to the Reichtag-fire?
It must have resembled something, as it seems to trigger you.

OP: "The Reichstag Fire ..."

Are you lost?

It is a historical event explained on wikipedia.

So why are you connecting it to any political sides.
Any political group can copy events from history.

Just like the Fascist behaviour of physically attacking opposition or burning their businesses.
OR like politicians copy speeches from history.
Any political organisation can do that.

Never think that only the same people can do bad things (they are dead btw).
Check "collateral murder" from wikileaks.org and check who the "bad guys" are in that case.
