    These aren’t steps. These are loosely related topics that insinuate some nebulous point. Make a proper list:

    1. Blame a minority for the problem and exacerbate existing racial tension to persecute. A scape goat is always necessary because the problem was never internal.

    2. Use panic and surprise to pass wide, sweeping measures that circumvent or override existing social protections. Also carve out any internal opposition to allow smoother transgressions.

    3. Unite the people through social movements to be more involved in government while not giving them any direct access to government. Hitler youth and the broader Nazi party were great for this, some Nazis even showing such fanaticism that they would be given preference in placement, like SS in the army. Jingoism is how they advance.

      That’s more than a decade off from the nazis getting power, it was actually a deflationary period that helped them. (Deflation is generally even more destructive for society than inflation, its not just price going down but wages as well)

    1. If you don’t know what the term “radical” means, at least have the courtesy to not use it in sentences.

    2. Blamed by WHOM?

    3. "The Weimar Republic, Germany’s 12-year experiment with democracy liberalism, came to an end after the Nazis came to power

    FTFY. Liberalism is anti-democratic and inevitably leads to fascism when it fails to protect the capitalists’ precious status quo.
