There's an old saying: those who do not learn history are condemned to listen

[struggle4progress]

as the latest farce rhymes with old tragedies

Or it's something like that, depending on who you quote: it really doesn't matter whether it's exactly right

The old nazis never really had any ideas -- they just had a playbook that the neo-nazis are still using a century later

The original version went something like this:

Riot in the streets and smash windows. Whine about the lack of law-and-order. Blame the Jews and the Communists

Murder Horst Wessel. Claim him as a sacred martyr and sing songs about him. Blame the Jews and the Communists

Burn down the Reichstag. Install a dictatorship and outlaw all political opposition. Blame the Jews and the Communists

And today they still have no new ideas
