America Is Rapidly Becoming More Like Nazi Germany

The final nail in the coffin of democracy and justice was hammered into place with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. NDAA allows for the U.S. military to arrest, imprison, and torture American citizen without due process of any kind. Contemporary America has adopted the identical police state, economic military imperialist policies and operations that Nazi Germany did--though the enactment of those policies differs to some degree.My opponent wants to quibble about contemporary America being, in essence, identical to Nazi Germany, pointing out that there are at present no known extermination camps in the United States. By saying that America is now identical in essence to Nazi Germany, we're acknowledging that not all features of the two societies are identical. The reason the international capitalist scheme does not yet find it necessary to create extermination camps for surplus population workers is that capitalists are murdering workers worldwide rapidly enough and in sufficient numbers for the scheme's purposes: to maintain a sufficient "army of unemployed" to be able to pay the lowest possible wages and to maintain a sufficiently low number of persons on any kind of social safety net.Germans in Nazi Germany were forced to spy on and betray their fellow workers. Americans in the 21st century are now encouraged to spy on and betray others through new cellphone apps that make it easy for any idiot to report to government agencies any behavior by others he believes without any evidence might be suspicious(Trayvon Martin ring a bell).To illustrate the identity between Nazi Germany and present-day America, I will show three examples:(1)Leaders in both regimes seized dictatorial, criminal powers by using the pretext of responding to terrorist-led catastrophes.(2)The Nazi regime required the shutting down of all mainstream newspapers and radio outlets and the establishment of a propaganda bureau, to make certain that all news sources supported the regime's policy of invading foreign nations. In the twenty-first century, the predatory scheme finds that capitalist news sources (radio, TV, and Internet sites) are willing collaborators, supporting the present strategy of attacking foreign nations to bring about regime change.(3)Hitler had his collaborator-film-maker Leni Riefenstahl and the capitalist scheme has its own collaborator: Michael MooreThe following signs that America is rapidly becoming more like Nazi Germany....(1)Nazi Germany was a totalitarian Big Brother police state that constantly monitored everything that German citizens did.Today, the bureaucrats that run things in the United States are also absolutely obsessed with constantly trying to monitor us.(2)Nazi officials often used their positions of power to force others to do dehumanizing things.This is exactly what the TSA is doing today.(3) In Nazi Germany, education was nationalized and God was kicked out of the schools.Unfortunately, the exact same thing is happening to U.S.public schools.(4)Under Adolf Hitler, society became very highly militarized.Of course we are seeing the same thing in the U.S. right now. Sadly, this is even happening to our public schools. According to blogger Alexander Higgins, students in kindergarten and the 1st grade in the state of New Jersey are now required by law to participate "in monthly anti-terrorism drills".(5)In Nazi Germany, the prisons were absolutely packed. Right now, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world by far and the largest total prison population on the entire globe by far. In the United States and the world today, we still can stop this escalating descent into total tyranny. We can learn to face up to the political, economic, and social oppression that is rampant; learn to think critically about what our leaders are doing, and join together to safeguard and re-establish our freedoms. But we must not delay, we cannot simply do nothing or we'll be plunged into the same terror that destroyed Nazi Germany.We like to delude ourselves that the 1930s German citizen was some special case. But Nazism didn't arise because a few maniacs somehow got into power and did something unique to the German people's minds. Those myths have been exploded once and for all by our more recent understanding that those same tactics have been used and are being used to enslave the minds of people in many different societies.
