Where did you see the Holocaust though
I only mentioned the Huelocaust
Granted, they didn't do any of it themselves, but it was a genocide in spirit

Wait Huelocaust?

Holocaust was certainly a genocide
Great Leap Forwards was not a genocide
Part of Stalin was genocide
Leopold could be considered a genocide
Armenian Genocide was a genocide
I would not count Nanking as a genocide

Fair enough.

6 million (Holocaust) + 3.89 million (Holodomor) + 10 million (Leopold) + 1.5 million (Armenia) = 21.39 million people dead between 1900-2000 from just a small number of the things dictatorships and monarchies did in the 20th century. Regardless if something classifies as genocide or not, the death toll from dictatorships and monarchies was higher in the 20th century than the death toll from democracies.

Tfw you make three pages worth of debate from changing your motto to "Authority is liberating"

At least this was constructive and pretty clean. 2015 RMB debates were not the same. :P

The ones I've had previously were pretty intense. Heavens knows what doubting the climate meme or disliking the way the west handles the refugee crisis can cause. Oh and thinking socailism doesn't work is a speedy way of getting a massive arguement

As heated as those debates get, they've got nothing on the mess things used to be before your time. Our RMB was pretty toxic for a while.

I mean, hell, look at Germany and France during the buildup to WW2
The Weimar Republic was somewhere between pitiable and laughable, but as it shifted away from the republic and towards the dictatorship it started getting its act back together and Hitler went from ordering an evacuation of the Rhineland if they so much as saw French troops during the reoccupation in '36 to overruning France with ease in '40
France, meanwhile, was not exactly doing the best in part due to their insistence on staying with the old ways of war (e.g. cavalry instead of tanks) and partially because the country was so politically divided
inb4 blasted for using Hitler as an example of why dictatorships can be good

Honestly, the "Nazi Economy" is really just a myth of Nazi propaganda that managed to survive into the mainstream. The Nazi economic reforms were incredibly unsubstainable and fed only into the military, leaving Germany with no way to survive except launching a hopeless war of conquest that they felt certain they could win because their ideology told them that all others were inferior. The early successes of the Blitzkrieg could not and did not last once they reached the more challenging grounds of Britain and Russia.

Wait so if of the ones that was mentioned was the holocaust. Germany want a democracy at the time

No it wasn't, after Hitler consolidated power all parties other than the NSDAP we're banned, and previously it only ever won 32% of the vote.
