Does non-violence win against Hitler? This should be interesting.

Do you believe the civil disobedience methods of Gandhi and MLK would have worked against Hitler?
Like most of you, I love MLK and Gandhi, but I don't think their methods would have worked against Hitler's efficient death factories.
I think violence was the only way to stop them. What do you think? 


I agree. Violence was the only way.

10. This was a different situation.

A significant number of Germans, those who were acceptably Aryan that is, were on board with Hitler, like all the goobers who cheered Bush on and wanted to have a beer with him.

They really cannot help themselves.

99. The closest thing to Hitler's Poland invasion during the last decades was the invasion of Iraq.

In today's world people who claim wanting to "prevent another Hitler" are a bigger threat to world peace than actual "Hitlers".

Is Cleita stuck on "Beer Summit" ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

11,000,000 meekly walking into the gas chambers finally brought Hitler down. :whatever:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
