Interesting. So even if the swatsika is protrayed as a bad thing (to the point of practically being a bullseye) it's banned.
So...can you have swastikas in Textbooks? Perhaps 100 years from now the Holocaust will be forgotten. Of course, that'll make Tim May happy because then it could happen all over again.
Nonsense. The problem with the Holocaust was not because people were expressing their opinions about Jews, their habits, etc., or having "un-PC" thoughts about their neighbors. In fact, the so-called anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1920s and 30s was less pronounced than in other European countries, notably France. The issue with the Holocaust, as with the suppression of the Kulaks in Soviet Russia, as with the forced starvation of entire provinces of tens of millions of people by Mao, was directly attributable to STATE POWER. In other words, the problem was that Hitler, Eichmann, Goebbels, etc. could have their bureaucrats meet at Wansee to implement the Final Solution. In a decentralized political system, one with constitutional protections for speech, movement, association, gun ownership, property accumulation, etc., such "purges" and "pogroms" and "final solutions" are much more difficult to carry out. And had the Jews spent more time on self-defense, on matters martial instead of matters Talmudic, they might not have been such easy pickings and gone so readily into the cattle cars headed east. By the way, practically speaking, banning the swastika and outlawing any expression of admiration for Hitler just makes these things more attractive to young kids. Duh. --Tim May, who counts more on the Constitution to limit the power of government (though these limits are falling, year by year) than he does in some ban on putting swastikas in books or on armbands
