Amazing!
Neocons exposed, as is their agenda, and unilateralism.

I like the animation.

But, and I hate nitpicking, but Hitler wasn't technically a fascist.

It's just that fascism implies a capitalist economy with corporatism. Hitler was anti-capitalist and had no corporatism, from what I understand at least.

Atleast I'd give him then, he was National Socialist - but STILL, Hitler was a bastard despite that politics ;)

Hitler was a dictator and Germany at the time was under 'fascism'. It was a dictatorial government that practiced repression of the opposition, strong nationalism, and elements of a totalitarian state.

From Wikipedia


Nazism and Fascism
Nazism may be considered either a type of fascism or a notable offshoot of fascism. It differed from Italian fascism in the emphasis on the state's purpose in serving a racial rather than a national ideal, specifically the social engineering of culture to the ends of the greatest possible prosperity for the so-called "Master Race" at the expense of all else and all others. In contrast, Mussolini's fascism held that cultural factors existed to serve the state, and that it wasn't necessarily in the state's interest to serve or engineer any of these particulars within its sphere. The only purpose of government under fascism proper was to uphold the state as supreme above all else, and for these reasons it can be said to have been a governmental statolatry.

While Nazism was a metapolitical ideology, seeing both party and government as a means to achieve an ideal condition of its people, fascism was a squarely anti-socialist form of statism that existed as an end in and of itself. The Nazi movement, at least in its overt ideology, spoke of class-based society as the enemy, and wanted to unify the racial element above established classes. The Fascist movement, on the other hand, sought to preserve the class system and uphold it as the foundation of established and desirable culture. This underlying theorem made the Fascists and Nazis in the period between the two world wars see themselves and their respective political labels as at least partially exclusive of one another.

I'm not knocking Wikipedia, in fact that's my primary source for information nowadays, but you can't trust it 100% on everything.

I've seen the animation before, and I really do like it. Not only is its message one that direly needs to be spread these days, but it is visually outstanding.

Agreed, Wikipedia has displayed incorrect information frequently,

I was showing an example to back up my point.
