Think as you wish, but don't run around stating that Hitler was a wise man cause he had some great plan for worldpeace
Well I never stated that. Yeah but anyway...
I don't anyone stated what he suggested. He has been reduced to putting words in peoples mouths and stating "so what".

You are a bunch of funny guys who argue for hitler's genius, hitler's insanity, hitler's syphillis etc. but fail to see that theis syphillismadmangenius is responsible for one of the biggest crimes etc etc.
Come to your senses. You can never paint the crimes in any other light than pitch black. That's my only point, whether he had syphillis or not.
You may say, ah, there is more to it than that. Well, next time think about that, when you flame a guy who dares to defend some suicide bombers...
edit: Sure he was insane. So what? Nevertheless he is responsible

"Genius is the inborn predisposition of the mind (inge- nium) through which nature gives the rule to art"
Fromm believed that freedom was an aspect of human nature that we either embrace or escape. He observed that embracing our freedom of will was healthy, whereas escaping freedom through the use of escape mechanisms was the root of psychological conflicts. Three main escape mechanisms that Fromm outlined are automaton conformity, authoritarianism, and destructiveness. Automaton conformity is changing one's ideal self to what is perceived as the preferred type of personality of society, losing one's true self. The use of automaton conformity displaces the burden of choice from the self to society. Authoritarianism is allowing oneself to be controlled by another. This removes the freedom of choice almost entirely by submitting that freedom to someone else. Lastly, destructiveness is any process which attempts to eliminate others or the world as a whole to escape freedom. Fromm said that "the destruction of the world is the last, almost desperate attempt to save myself from being crushed by it"

Ah Hitler, the poster child for abortion. I don't care how much of a Genus the man was, he was a homicidal genocidal madman that should have been put down like a dog before he breached his mothers womb.
The only thing Hitler has done for this world is point out what NOT to do.

Jesus?
Originally posted by Wachstum - If you really take the time to meditate, or at least think deeply about the visions i tried to paint in my first post, you will understand, that these cruelties can hardly be committed by some sane minds. Actually, there are psychological studies that allege Hitler, Goebbels and the german population some complex psychic disorders.

My opinion is he was a Genocidal Madman and a genius. Who else using the power of speech could have a whole country going for the "final solution", who else after 5 or 6 decades could have groups sill dedicated to his failed beliefs?

Even after this new release, many of Jaeger's rare color photographs have yet to be published.
