Subject: cyber-nazis: Hitler as Mystic


Hitler may have been a mystic but that doesn't detract from the fact that
the Nazi state was a bureaucrat's dream and that the bureaucratic framework
greatly facilitated the exercise of power.  Bauman has written eloquently
on the relationship between modernity and the holocaust.  Focusing merely
upon Hitler's personal characteristics is to see him as the 'King;'s Head'
in Fcldn terms.  There's now evidence to show that the German military had
been planning their rearmament policies in advance of Hitler taking power.
