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.

Your point is that the political witch hunt and power grab after the original Reichstags fire was far more justified than the witch hunt we're witnessing right now in the USA.

How does this support your complaint about the "the left are the real nazis" 'bullshit'?

A witch hunt is a witch hunt because witches do not exist. A "domestic terrorist" threat from the Trump supporters at the Capitol does not exist. Communist terrorism within and bordering Germany did.
