Fascists Are Attempting to Win Followers by Rebranding as Antiwar

10. Nazi sympathizers here were aggressively isolationist in the 1930s-40s.

America was already a world power, and Germany's success in taking over Europe depended on America not entering the war as nation after nation fell to Germany. As we did. It almost worked -- the UK was essentially fighting alone by the time Japan attacked.

And for the first couple of years communist Russia and Nazi Germany were allies, creating significant far-left support here, though the earlier purging of socialists from power and from Hitler's National Socialist Party had dimmed support for that. But -- far left and far right support for isolationism with lots of high-flown anti-war rhetoric from both.

History often rhymes.
