MISCALCULATION
MISCALCULATION MISCARRIES
Our disproportionate focus upon Adolf Hitler's Nazism is blinding us to the fact that Hitler and Benito Mussolini both learned, borrowed from the United States of America.
Here in America, fascism/racism, being elements of Nazism and white supremacy were historically applied to Africans and Indians well before either European leader was born. Doubtless such knowledge emboldened their conquests of Europe. Surely, America given its racist history would identify with De Fuhrer and El Duce's minions!
But alas ! They miscalculated and their blitzing European conquests miscarried, thanks in great part to the very same descendants of the Africans and Indians who fought for America and its allies against the Germans and their Italian cohorts.
History informs more than ideology. Moreover, what may seem to be so, may not necessarily be so, in the dynamics of historical movements.
