Unfortunately you can’t kill an idea. The West dabbled in white supremacy for most of modern history (see race based caste in America and South Africa, race based chattel slavery, phrenology etc) and still does to some degree so Nazism was inevitable in many ways.

Leopold Amery, the empire’s secretary of state for India appealed Churchill for aid as British engineered famines devestated Bengal (such famines killed 100 million people during the colonial era). The great hero of the West responded by calling Indians a beastly people, blaming them for “breeding like rabbits”, saying the diverted grain was better kept for “sturdy greeks” and wished death upon Gandhi.

Amery wrote in his diary: “Naturally I lost patience, and couldn’t help telling him that I didn’t see much difference between his outlook and Hitler’s, which annoyed him no little.”

If these are the people we venerate and we continue to teach incomplete histories, is killing every Nazi going to be enough?
