The ideological dam built around Hitler — which has blinkered our understanding of fascism and dehistoricized the Holocaust while exonerating imperialism from comparable crimes that both preceded and followed it — is breaking.
In fact, there is a clear thread that runs through the colonization of the Americas, the enslavement of the African people, the US's vision of "manifest destiny" and its racial caste system, the Nuremberg Laws and Germany's project of "lebensraum", and the Zionist vision of "Greater Israel" today.
They are all part of the same blood-soaked Euro-Atlantic colonial tradition. The better we understand this, the more powerful their assault on our memory will become.
