That's a wiki entry that relies heavily on this work:
Here are some more listings from the entry.
I've read Dave Crew's book, but not Gellately's, but I would suspect that we would find the same thing.
It's a pretty well researched fact of history that the German people did not go kicking and screaming into NAZI fascism but rather wholeheartedly embraced it after a decade or more of financial collapse, monetary collapse and social upheaval.
Which is why, after all the arguing and discussion that I've had with our anarchist brothers, I cannot embrace the concept as being practical.
You throw Boobus into a state of true anarchy, suddenly, with no one around to tell him where to shit and squat, and within a year the vast majority will literally be begging for a dictatorial hard ass to come along and "make the trains run on time" and "set things right".
And God almighty help the poor motherfuckers that Boobus fixes his sights on as having caused all the problems.
No, I'll remain a minarchist and work toward a minimalist structure of government.
Because when it comes right down to it, would Boobus be better off paying a small tariff on his purchased goods or risk getting his face blown off because he decided that I was the source of all his problems and maybe we'd all be better off if we turned ol' Anti Federalist into a bar of soap or a lampshade?
