Only if we win...
Who's we? The fascists?
Lol, no. If the fash win, you only get Riefenstahlic circlejerk histories.
Why would current fascists write a book paralleling Hitler's rise to power about their own successful rise to power?
I am legit confused. In order to have a book written about a rise to power, one has to have risen to power. So to suggest that the only way to have a book written about a rise to power of american fascists is if "we win", is to suggest "we" are the fascists. Like, it seemed like a wild comment, but maybe they meant only if non-fascists win because otherwise they would not allow the book to be written
I’m not speaking for them, but I’m thinking they meant that Hitler won the battle for power, but the Allies won the war. The book would look a lot different if Hitler won the war. In this context, “we” are the allies.
