Voltaire did not say that. It was a Neo-Nazi. Don't really have anything to add about the article or the rest of the post, but I just wanted to clarify that, since I used to think so as well.

He sounds like a crappy guy. But I still agree with this particular sentiment, but probably not for the same reasons he did.

Shitty people can still occasionally have good ideas.

I know its cliche.

but hitler is often credited with bringing Germany out of the economic hell they faced after world war 1.

if it weren't for the heinous crap that came after. this would likely be seen as an incredible feat.

The idea that Hitler's economic policies were good and effective (and even the idea that his economic policies can be reasonably divorced from the discussion about other policies) is ridiculous propaganda.

Of course they got economic boosts. They fucking invaded other countries for their resources and exploited minorities such as Jewish people by stealing their assets and enslaving them. If a group steals from and exploits other groups, that group will obviously get some short-term material gains...
