\u201cIt might be interesting to consider what fascism might have been without Hitler, but suggesting that Hitler without fascism would have become a coprophiliac speed-freak is absurd.\u201c

This sentence was written by an actual historian in an article in an academic journal\u2026. King

It’s absurd cause like, you can have senses of what “fascism without Hitler” would be but what does “Hitler without fascism” even mean?

Like, he’s a WWI veteran who rises within a nationalist postwar party to become authoritarian chancellor but doesn’t draw inspiration from Mussolini-inspired-by-d'Annunzio’s pageantry and mixed-economy post-neofeudalism?

Like Mussolini never happened to draw inspiration from? (And instead the Italian precedent was\u2026?)

Like the Central Powers won WWI and Adolf Hitler was a painter-orator reacting to their attempts to consolidate rule?

C'mon here
