No one, no one, said anything about a 'perfect analogy'. But the Native Americans or even the indigenous Australians make a BETTER analogy that the Nazi thing, and it has the bonus of putting judgment toward your own society as opposed to veering toward the bigoted. If one says something rather bigoted and naff in order to avoid admitting guilt for land theft and cultural decimation I find that to be telling.
So you claim that it is nothing like the American analogy? America did not kill, move and force onto tiny patches of land millions of native peoples? Really?
