“Here’s the thing,” Robinson said. “Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler, whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao, whether you’re talking about Stalin, whether you’re talking about Pol Pot, whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba, or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the globe, it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”
This is the Lieutenant Governor of a state (North Carolina) saying we can get gems from the quotes of genocidal maniacs. This is where we are now.
Sure, I was only half joking. As an academic matter of understanding the history and recognition of early-to-mid 20th century German fascism, it’s a useful learning tool. But, as a tome of intellectual philosophy (which is what nazis like Robinson seem to be implying it might be), it’s little more than garbage.
