A Ministry of Fear Rules America
Commentary
Back in 1943, the British novelist Graham Greene published “The Ministry of Fear,” a thriller set in World War II London involving mercy killings, exploding suitcases, seances, Luftwaffe air raids, outright murder, insane asylums and undercover Nazi spies. It was successfully made into a movie the following year starring Ray Milland as the troubled protagonist, and directed by Fritz Lang, himself a refugee from Hitler.
Both novel and film capture the paranoid atmosphere during that troubled time, with danger lurking even in something as innocent as a cake. Whom or what can you trust? As the world falls apart, and the future is shrouded in threat and mystery, society devolves into a dog-eat-dog struggle for survival, in which neither the old verities nor the old pieties obtain any longer.

Today marks 100 years since Hitler assumed the leadership of the National Socialist German Workers Party, better known as the Nazis, giving rise to millions of debating points accusing anyone right of centre of being a Nazi .
We ve had plenty of arguments on this forum about whether he was a socialist or not, and no arguments that he wasn t evil, so at least we an agree on something.
In this article Larry Reed makes a very persuasive case that Hitler was a socialist http://fee.org/articles/what-the-nazis-had-in-common-with-every-other-collectivist-regime-in-the-20th-century/. Ask yourself this: Does the following statement sound like something a socialist would say or something a free-market, capitalist advocate would espouse?
