Just a shame that the leave campaign never respected a democratic vote.

Lies and lies, used fear to push its agenda.

Think this might be winning for dumbest post of the day.

Are you sure.
It has some serious competition

Hotel California.

All you have said there is an extension of the fact the Nazis hated them. Why that was I don't know. Had there been the same number of blacks and Asians prevalent in Europe as there is now it could very easily have been those races, or maybe all 3. But it was the hate that led to them being targeted. Make no mistake.

And please feel free to educate me as I know so little. I look forward to it.

I think the fact that the Jews controlled the banking system in Germany in the 20s and 30s was one of the main reasons Hitler despised them.
I may be wrong but that is what I recall from my schooldays

If you're not sure then it's going to be difficult, think my post is quite clear.
I am aware the EEC morphed into the EU but what the EEC was still exists within the EU.
How strong our position is within the EU is up for debate, hence the entire Brexit fiasco, which makes me curious as to how things would have panned out had it been Germany or France wanting to leave.

I'd imagine, if Germany or France wanted to leave, they would have lobbied the EU with their grievances and given their size, the EU would have seriously compromised to keep them in the union.
The UK could also have done this but for Cameron playing Russian roulette.

Not sure it was an actual fact but it was certainly a widely held belief which Hitler traded on.

Austrian branch
Main article: Rothschild banking family of Austria

Grüneburgschlößchen, Frankfurt, 1845, one of the Rothschilds' many German garden-mansions. This particular estate was destroyed in an Allied bombing raid, 1944.
In Vienna, Salomon Mayer Rothschild established a bank in the 1820s and the Austrian family had vast wealth and position.[41] The crash of 1929 brought problems, and Baron Louis von Rothschild attempted to shore up the Creditanstalt, Austria's largest bank, to prevent its collapse. Nevertheless, during the Second World War they had to surrender their bank to the Nazis and flee the country. Their Rothschild palaces, a collection of vast palaces in Vienna built and owned by the family, were confiscated, plundered and destroyed by the Nazis. The palaces were famous for their sheer size and for their huge collections of paintings, armour, tapestries and statues (some of which were restored to the Rothschilds by the Austrian government in 1999). All family members escaped the Holocaust, some of them moving to the United States, and returning to Europe only after the war. In 1999, the government of Austria agreed to return to the Rothschild family some 250 art treasures looted by the Nazis and absorbed into state museums after the war.[42]
hitler was Austrian by birth.
As I said I am not 100% sure but his contempt for jews was to a degree based on their wealth and influence in the banking industry.

Using some of your unfortunate language Joe.

There are many who are/were perfectly happy with the EEC as a body that oversaw economic integration among it's member states. It's role as one which largely governed trade is acceptable to people that don't want to be aligned to a more federalised or a politically unified Europe.

There is, with good reason, a concern that a more centralised Europe, as a capitalist entity, with an ideology of 'European Nationalism' accompanied by the means to enforce that, through a centralised armed forces, bears all the hallmarks of a Facist state.

There is well documented philosophical commentary on the structures and ideology of Totalitarianism, the likes of Gramsci, Lefort, Arendt, Schmitt (offering a range of perspectives) and there are factions/individuals within the EU that want or at least aspire to move in a direction which could be considered or are persceptively, less liberal. Nazism and Facism have courted, particularly in the decades following WWII, the idea of a Nation of Europe and with greater centralised control it's easier to achieve.

Personally, I don't prescribe to that train of thought, as I tend to believe that the EU seeks to limit and reduce Facist elements where they emerge and it largely promotes/favours liberalism through it's legal processes and judgements. But I recognise the concern.

Finally you are beginning to understand......
