Is there anyone who admires Adolf Hitler?
Q : Is there anyone who admires Adolf Hitler?A : Even the blackest black has some white in it and the whitest white has some black in it.Today no one will advocate Adolf Hitler because he lost the war, however when a person from ordinary family that does not have any background or connection with active politics reaches those heights definitely he must be having some thing extra or unique qualities. Now, discussion on the way he used those qualities, the final outcome and the consequences of his decisions will be discussed till there is another Hitler [by whatever name].Adolf Hitler become President and transformed German economy which was in absolutely pathetic conditions. The unemployment just vanished and Germans had a better standard of living. When other nations were busy on paperwork of preparations of plan for coming out of the great depression, Germany had achieved full employment. When he came to power, the GDP growth rate was negative, however within a very short span it touched double digits. Is it not an achievement?He enacted many laws which affected social life of average Germans, like overtime pay, weekly off, compulsory education, physical training in schools, ban on tobacco consumption, etc etc. He also passed laws against cruelty towards animals. Is it not an achievement?1936 - Berlin Olympics is great success story. Germany was on the top of the medal tally. This had happened never before 1936 and never happened after 1936. These games had participation of maximum number of countries, male and female players, maximum games and still Germany headed the medal tally.The thing that like most is that his defeat was obvious. His party workers celebrated his birthday celebration on 20-April-1945 and he also participated that function. Hardly a weak after that he got married to Eva Braun and registered the marriage. Thereafter, both of them prepared their testaments and registered the documents. Hitler registered his personal as well as political testament and next day both of them committed suicide. This makes him different than other dictators in the century - Idi Amin Dada of Uganda or Muammar Gaddafi of Libya or Saddam Huissen of Iraq or Kim Jong-Un of North Korea.I can go on and on. The point I want to make is that every person is bound to have some good and at the same time some bad qualities. There is no harm in admiring him for the good qualities.
Could Trump become the same type of leader like Kim Jong-un if he wanted to?
Other things would have to happen: the Republicans would have to [expletive] harder on the Constitution, and Trump would have to get the same indoctrination tricks.I have no hope at all that Trump is far above Kim morally (except the "doesn't actually want to murder people" bar, and he may end up with people's blood on his hands due to natural disasters/climate change and his pro-corporate approach to environmental and chemical safety), nor that he doesn't want to rule the same way. He told Kim (and Xi, and Putin, and, I think, Duterte) that he admires his strong government. He doesn't want to leave at the end of his term (although it's likely he'll have to, if not before). Like Kim, it looks as though he's trying for a dynasty, although in Trump's case it's largely due to incompetence. In the revolving door of his administration, where people are brought in with glowing praise then sacked a month later on Twitter, he can't sack his family, so the positions of "First Son-in-law" and "First Daughter" have a certain longevity shocking when one considers how little training they had.Trump may be worse than Kim on race, or at least I've never heard Kim trying to whip up racial indignation as such.We need a T-shirt: TRUMP: TOO CRAP TO BE HITLER.
If Hitler was alive, would he have an alliance with Donald Trump?
If you’re going to post a question, try being serious. This has the smell of ‘Republicans are fascists, Trump must be fascist, therefore he’d be cool with Hitler’ thing. Some people on the left have a real inability to distinguish between political people they dislike and Fascists, Nazis, etc.But to answer your question, no. The closest he’s even been has been to deal with the leader of North Korea in order to hopefully denuclearize the peninsula and then demilitarize the border between the two Koreas. Kim Jong-Un is most definitely guilty of some bad things, done to his own people just like his father and grandfather are guilty of. Concentration camps for political dissidents or even people accused of thinking ill of the regime. And forget that for a moment, North Korea is guilty of spreading nuclear technology and know-how to Iran and elsewhere, although that can also be laid at the feet of Pakstani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. North Korea kidnapped people from both South Korea and Japan, if I’m not mistaken, for purposes of teaching lifestyle, etc. to would-be undercover agents. All kind of things have gone. And yet..in order to deal with a problem you need to talk to all parties involved if possible.
Why wasn’t Adolf Hitler as smart as Kim Jong-un?
Q. Why wasn’t Adolf Hitler as smart as Kim Jong-un?(1) HitlerHe started out with zero pedigree. He was a nobody.He navigated the German political machinery snake pit to get to absolute power.He fought a multi-fronted world war, notwithstanding he lost.(2) Kim Jong-unGramps Kim Il-sung was founder of North Korea. Godly aura. Dad Kim Jong-il cut his teeth.The young un had massive bloodline pedigree leverage. He inherited power.So far, he has been emanating noises. He has been calibratingly annoying people.To-date, he cheekily appears to have the upper hand in the nuke calculus chess play. But, this can change quickly.His smarts, if any, remain to be seen in the coming 6–18 months.Related:Sam Qwato's answer to What is Kim Jong Un’s personality?

What's the friendliest/kindest/most humane (recorded) thing Hitler ever did, in a non-war situation?
They initiated a strong anti-tobacco movement .. when smoking being injurious to health was unheard of.It was the first public anti smoking campaign in history. The National Socialist leadership condemned smoking and several of them openly criticized tobacco consumption. Research on smoking and its effects on health thrived under Nazi rule and was the most important of its type at that time. Adolf Hitler's personal distaste for tobacco and the Nazi reproductive policies were among the motivating factors behind their campaign against smoking.Now, considering the statistics, Tobacco causes 6 million deaths annually. [420 million if take around 70 yrs since the end of the war]The World War II claimed 40 million lives in the European theatre.After the collapse of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II, American cigarette manufacturers quickly entered the German black market. Illegal smuggling of tobacco became prevalent.In 1949, approximately 400 million cigarettes manufactured in the United States entered Germany illegally every month. As part of the Marshall Plan, the United States sent tobacco to Germany free of charge; the amount of tobacco shipped into Germany in 1948 was 24,000 tons and was as high as 69,000 tons in 1949. The Federal government of the United States spent $70 million on this scheme, to the delight of cigarette manufacturing companies in the United States, who profited hugely.Per capita yearly cigarette consumption in post-war Germany steadily rose from 460 in 1950 to 1,523 in 1963. At the end of the 20th century, the anti-tobacco campaign in Germany was unable to exceed the seriousness of the Nazi-era climax in the years 1939–41 and German tobacco health research was described by Robert N. Proctor as "muted".I guess the Nazis could have saved a lot of people if they could impose their will on tobacco companies.Anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany
