"Hitler wasn't always Hitler"
Don't forget that Hitler wasn't always Hitler, he had to grow into it. Don't forget he didn't start out with all those powers.
That's quite an important point, Bowser. In two sentences you explain why it's necessary to use references to Nazis from time to time as a powerful caution for a democracy on how to lose it all. It's never about accusing somebody of being a Nazi, it's about warning somebody that they're on the road to becoming like the Nazis by borrowing their tactics to win at any cost. It's about pointing out the subtle traps of power and its pursuit; how you can incrementally slide from freedom into tyranny; it's about how a little power leads to more power and how absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Fine insight, Bowse.
