In his book Hitler: The Definitive Biography (2014), John Toland showed how impressed Hitler had been with the system of Indian Reservations, the extermination of the indigenous peoples, the epidemics and starvation policies. According to Toland, when speaking to the German leaders, the Führer frequently “extolled the efficacy of the American extermination of the ‘red savages’ by starvation and in unequal combat” (here, p. 802).
He could have just looked closer to home and seen how the soviet's managed to eliminate millions through starvation and in unequal force
Does that justify America's behavior? They're evil so our evil is not evil.
@lawrenceblair no, not justifying anything here (don't know how you leaped to that conclusion). Just pointing out the fact that it happened closer to (Hitler's) home. Many civilizations have done similar things in the past and it will happen again - who does it, how and why doesn't change the fact its immoral for me.
What Hitler and the other socialists fail to realize is that the evil perpetrated by Americans on the Natives was mostly done by the private citizens who harbored ill will to them, not the government. The failure of the government to "control" the people is a symptom of a republic with democratic institutions. When a treaty was made to grant the Natives peace from US government violence, it was almost always violated by greedy individuals who are not employed by the government.
The PTB are not employed by the government but they do run the government.
