You idiot really believe that the people who voted the nazis in, and celebrated them were like “Oh nooo we did a big bad~~” after they lost? People wanted hitler back after the war. Antifascist consciousness arose only in the late 70’s. The whole living memory thesis remains to be horseshit.

You mean that the people who were shaped by the conditions that caused people to become Nazis, remained being Nazis, even after conditions changed? And you think this proves that events being in living memory don’t influence people’s views?

This is not what I am saying and I do not agree with that.

So then you don’t agree that material relations shape people’s thoughts and ideas, and you are not a materialist.

A genuinely unsympathetic and cynical approach to politics

Moralist.
