It might have been Howard Zinn who said "We didn't write the book on Ethnic Cleansing. But we contributed a few of the more colorful chapters." What Europeans did to Native peoples in the Americas is a series of crimes whose monstrosity can not be overstated. There was a conscious half millennium campaign of displacement, theft, cultural extinction, genocide, rape and enslavement. All you can say for the Nazis is that they didn't have quite the time or resources to do as thorough a job. But they worked at it with Teutonic efficiency.
The same can be said for the Japanese and their treatment of the Koreans and extermination of the Ainu, the rise of the Zulu Empire, the elimination of the Neanderthals, Australia's "Abo Hunts", the genocides against the Kurds, the way China has always treated its minorities, and on and on. The victors write the history books. But if we want to rise above the level of howling murderers the books have to do something besides self congratulation.
Back to Herr Schicklgruber and the Nordic ideal.
A joke at the time ran "The perfect Aryan is as slim as Göring, as tall as Goebbels and as blond as Hitler." In fact, the closest thing the Party had to that was the biggest bull-Nazi of them all the tall, good looking, athletic fanatic Reinhard Heydrich. And he was a self-hating Jew who gave up a promising career Navy career to become a throat-slitter and join the Party. I guess my Tribe's National Socialism can beat up your Tribe's National Socialism
