Their ideology is reviled throughout the western world…
Is their ideology really reviled, or is their name? I would argue only the latter.
The entire western world united against them and allied with the communists to do so.
Ok and what happened next?
No need to answer though, I’ll just tell you:
“Ex-”Nazis were put back into positions of power all over the western world. Calling yourself a Nazi will certainly and rightfully get you punched. Getting called a Nazi is absolutely an insult. The ideology lives on, however, not just in groups that openly call themselves Nazis, but in a far more insidious way as well. In the interest of opposing any and all leftist ideals, the seeds which lead to the same monsters as the Nazis were not only not discarded by the west, but sewn intricately into the fabric of how they built their post-war societies. Yes, the ideas of the Nazis have been around long before the Nazis themselves, but the specific framework to streamline oppression, extermination, and exploitation were laid bare more clearly than ever.
Yeah like you cannot just leave off with the ending of WW2, the sequel puts everything into context. We right away started killing communists, put fascists in power every place we could. It is not just supremacy that lived on, the actual regime continued It laid the foundation for stuff like the Phoenix Program and Gladio, it is continued and backed in Italy and Greece, eastern europe post-soviets, Southeast Asia, Latin America, etc. Fascism specifically made the world we live in, they got to design the alignment of power. We are not fighting a rise in fascism, fascism never left, it never left Greece or Italy or Hungary, etc.
