So were the Fascists, National Socialists and the Bolsheviks essentially correct about a predatory, international, capitalistic elite in the 1930s?
>>18446146You'd have to go back even before the 1930s. Bolsheviks, Communist, and Socialists saw capitalism in the 1900s and 1910s as the cause of WW1. Facism being an offshoot of these also kept this same idea.
>>18446172Do you think they had a real solution for any of this stuff?
>>18446177 The 1800s was already full of questions, on every aspect of life (scientifically, economically, socially, etc), and WW1, with the collapse of 5 nations, kind of "opened the gate" for thinkers, do-ers, and politicians like Stalin or Hitler to try to answer those questions. Some people thought Hitler had all the answers, some people thought Stalin did. The reality was that the USA and the UK/its commonwealth were more adapted to tackle those questions. It's hard to say what the "solution" would be, if there even is one, or if something like WW2 was just inevitable. Those questions just had to be answered somehow, and so maybe WW2 was inevitable. The real question was what could power through
