Definitely more il Duce than Hitler. Still, most fascists start out in similar ways...

I agree or Putin for a more modern example. Erdogans destruction of Turkeys democracy is a how to formula Trump seems to be following. It is worth studying. Erdogan completely shut down the free press and has more journalists in prison than any country.

And he used religious support to get rid of democracy. Just like Trump uses the Christian right. It is an age old formula dictators have been using forever based on human gullibility. .

But I was referring to Trumps political strategy and personality. I have heard he read Mein Kampf and look how similar Trumps behavior and ideology mirrors Hitlers.

Right now Trump has ordered the pentagon to start constructing prison camps.

Analysis[ edit]In Mein Kampf, Hitler used the main thesis of "the Jewish peril", which posits a Jewish conspiracy to gain world leadership. [7] The narrative describes the process by which he became increasingly antisemitic and militaristic, especially during his years in Vienna. He speaks of not having met a Jew until he arrived in Vienna, and that at first his attitude was liberal and tolerant. When he first encountered the antisemitic press, he says, he dismissed it as unworthy of serious consideration. Later he accepted the same antisemitic views, which became crucial to his program of national reconstruction of Germany.

Mein Kampf has also been studied as a work on political theory. For example, Hitler announces his hatred of what he believed to be the world's two evils: Communism and Judaism.

In the book Hitler blamed Germany's chief woes on the parliament of the Weimar Republic, the Jews, and Social Democrats, as well as Marxists, though he believed that Marxists, Social Democrats, and the parliament were all working for Jewish interests. [8] He announced that he wanted to completely destroy the parliamentary system, believing it to be corrupt in principle, as those who reach power are inherent opportunists.
