I genuinely didn't think we'd so quickly reach a stage where 'Nazis are unacceptable' was a controversial position
I mean, 'Nazis bad' was supposed to be the self-justifying narrative of modern civilization.
The story went: Yes, industrial society is built on colonial horrors, but remember we defeated the Nazis. That's our redemption story, it wipes the slate clean and opens the gates to a morally neutral future.
Now that's all being dumped, as the Nazi taboo is broken, because it turns out things like short-term profits and political gains were more important all along.
@Loukas indeed, we are at much the same place we were before defeat of Nazism. https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1915/junius/ch01.htm
@grantbrookesnz Luxembourg may have never lived to see actual nazism, but I think it is indeed correct to see fascism as the general extension of that state of war into all parts of society.
