The beginning of the end - history repeating itself

[JP_]

100 years ago Europe was divided, right wing fascist groups were either in control of countries, or growing in popularity. The media was fuelling hatred and division. Millions were sent to concentration camps. All of this is considered a bad thing today.

But, it's all happening again. News from China, in case you missed it. Although it's been talked about since August, if not before.

Maybe Russia it's middle eastern allies will form an alliance to free eastern China ... that could be the beginning of the end.

You mean Hitler and the Nazi party.

No, the British newspapers that supported their ideology and published stories (note, fictional) to support what became the holocaust.

We know when the right goes too far but people don't seem to know when the left to too far.

Extremism is bad whatever way you go.

Still, we'll be alright - with our power and influence no longer hampered by being a member of the largest single market and second largest economy in the world, and our custom so vital to the economic well-being of China, and our strategic importance to the USA even greater than it was before, what could possibly go wrong?

So what do you consider to be 'when the left to too far.'
(whatever that means)

Capital H in the Holocaust, try not to trivialise it.
