The Case against Nazi ideology
From Wikinfo
The case against Nazi ideology is made by refuting some of the arguments made in its favor, such as that totalitarianism benefits the state, that a nation must expand to be strong and prosperous, and that one race is more "evolved" than all the others.
The horrors of the Holocaust are obvious evidence that Nazism causes harm. The harm that happened during the Second World War is similar. Another argument is that Nazis have never shown any reason why one group of humans is more “evolved” than another, however evolved is defined.
An alternative argument is that favourable mutations happen in all human populations. Racial mixing can benefit mankind because favourable mutations occurring in one population can spread to other populations.
Totalitarianism can weaken a nation because it puts power into the hands of a leader or bureaucracy which have human weakness as everyone else does. Too frequently powerful rulers are surrounded by flatterers and pointing out that the ruler is wrong can put the critic’s life in danger. A bad or misguided ruler can bring his nation to disaster as Hitler did. Democracy is in this case stronger because criticizing a bad ruler is easier.
If the size of a nation were significant, the Russia and China would be the greatest nations as they are the largest nations. The Russian and the Chinese people would be the “greatest” people as they are from the largest nations. This type of inconsistency is typical of totalitarian ideologies when opponents cannot point out what is illogical. Switzerland, for example, is strong for its size despite being ethnically and linguistically diverse.
