"Chris Doss "  says to Joanna: : "Careful, Joanna. You are dangerously close to saying that fascists are human beings. That is taboo. Fascists are evil monsters programmed to kill. The same thing goes for Stalinists. My grandfather was supported the Nazis not because he had any particular political views whatsoever beyond a vague sense that Germany should whup ass, but because he came from an extremely troubled family and found more support in the Hitlerjugend when he was a child than he did at home. Very banal. He had a very sad life actually."

I agree with much that Joanna & Chris are saying. To say that "fascists are [NOT] human beings] - & that all germans were fascists, comes close as i see it to the thing that that Daniel chap was saying. Clearly many German soldiers went unwillingly to be slaughtered in S'grad. Further, if fascism = the petit bourgeois who are in the midst of desperation & see no solution in capital & are possibly able to gravitate to either the communists or the fascist 'socialists' - then they are not die-hard fascists. The germans themselves were wary of the SS etc. But is anyone on the list that pc that they are supporting Daniel What's-His-Name?
