Question about the Nazis in power. How much did they have to purge government? Was it at the level of the red terror? I guess is that since Germany is a high-IQ country the level of purging wouldn’t have to be extreme as in the USSR, ie, more middle-management types wisely went along to get along. Still there must have been major centers of resistance within the German bureacracy which had to be purged. Trump’s 2nd term is going to be over soon because he didn’t put together a mob to do the Project 2025 purges, a the result of that error is becoming clear. It’s not a 1-to-1 comparison because German culture was much more unified at the time and Hitler benefited from the Kaiser Cult, and Trump is just a reality tv star. Still, I bet it’s the brown shirts facing down the communist mobs in the early days is what invested Hitler with the actual power necessary to effectuate the purges and gain real control over the country,.
