"...which is why everything today seems to be ‘like the Nazis’."
Except the things that are. The same media that writes as if the Nazis were the worst thing possible and happened yesterday have amnesia when it comes to, for example, the communist Pol Pot who, on a per capita basis, murdered more of his population (between 1.5 and 3 million in tiny Cambodia) and more recently. And basically got away with it.

Excellent and thoughtful article. One of the best ever in Substack.
Your point about Bonapartism is brilliant. I always thought Juan Peron was the model but your framework is better.
Thank you 🙏
