The following, slightly edited, post is from another thread (Germany's search for home truths continues, 75 years on,  by Jonathan Steele), which I've decided to place here rather than create a separate file for it:

Far from learning from the Nazi experience, as most politicians and political commentators implore us all to do, they themselves are primarily interested in exploiting it to their own advantage, assuming the "moral high ground" for themselves in their self-righteous condemnation of it.

The biggest danger lies in our political classes (facilitated by the interests of state and capital in cheap immigrant labour) having embraced and imposed on society a racial ideology (of "race does not exist", or if it does, of having no social significance, except for "racists"), which is the exact, equally extreme, opposite of Nazi racial ideology. The danger being  (because race IS of great social significance, especially in respect to individual and group identity) that the pendulum will eventually, inevitably, swing back in the other, extreme, direction.

The assumption that the horrors which Nazi racial ideology led to can only be avoided in the future by demonizing, suppressing and denying (including to ourselves) racial prejudice, which, along with countless other prejudices, is inherent to human nature, is totally misconceived.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, we are making their return (or something horribly like them) virtually inevitable.

It is not too late, however, to become aware of where (and why) we have gone wrong, and to correct it.
