Economic collapse. Germany was under punishing levels of reparations to the WW I allies. Their currency was subject to massive inflation. The US right now is in exactly the opposite condition with rising inflation (not seen since Reagan when he did massive federal spending increases). And I dispute #9 and 10. Nazi's rose to power by representing the interests of the working class over corporations. Only AFTER they took power did they suppress the labor unions and empower the corporations. The GOP is not yet in total control.
