Of course, no one responded because it's either common knowledge and not worthy of addressing (not likely), didn't want to put in the work to actually understand in the concept (more likely), or weren't interested in the subject (most likely).

Mike, if you took the time to examine this back when I posted it, you wouldn't be saying such stupid things like, Nazism is a mindset and/or trying to rehash why I believe that Nazism and Communism close on the political spectrum.

You specialize in tedium and endurance, like a good blowhard.
