I was watching a video on soccer hooliganism in western Poland. Many of these hooligans are neo-Nazis or sympathetic to Nazism. They expressed their admiration to Hitler and the SS. I find this astonishing, especially that this takes place in Poland. I would imagine that Poland would be the last place on earth that the ideas of Nazism or Communism (both being similar ideologies) would find any audience. Any return to such a government in Germany would mean Poland would be in grave danger.
@michael112254 I do not think there is any danger of the Nazis taking power in Germany and as for a few soccer hooligans saying they support Hitler, one they are very small amount of the population and two they will grow out of it when the brain appears!
@alanheath You may be right. I believe that these difficult times are presenting extremists a chance to be heard. Over here we are seeing increased polarization of our politics. We cannot solve our problems due to a lack of common ground. Also our educational system does not teach history to our young people in any meaningful way. That makes many of them receptive to radical ideologies. I suspect that this seems to the case in Poland where the young do not understand their history.
