That’s Nazi fascism – This fascism is different
If you love irony, you will love this. In the name of promoting diversity, Germany forces conformity in education.
The ‘schuhlpflicht’—the laws that require school attendance—are on the books in the German states, and have been traced back to the ‘Reichsculpflicht Gesetz’ [federal compulsory attendance laws] which was passed in 1938. Except for the removal of references to the Nazi party, these laws are identical or substantially the same as the laws passed by Hitler’s government, criminalizing parents who keep their children home for school.
However when this fact was introduced in court the state said:
“All those Nazi laws have been suspended, and this one is democratic, and you’ve got to accept it, and that’s it.”
Or in other words – that was Nazi fascism. This is good democratic fascism.
The irony of German court decisions is their position that the state must teach ‘tolerance for diversity’ by forcing children into public schools and stamping out a diverse form of education recognized in all other Western democracies as a legitimate educational approach. Pluralism is supposed to stand for distinctive groups living peacefully together.
Tactics -- it's how you implement strategy. You use tactics all the time and they are being used against YOU too. You want to get out of the store quickly, so you make tactical judgments which line to get in, or to ask the manager to open another lane. Or it is bigger, like how you fire someone, or force them to quit. Some tactics you find ethical, others you may think are sleazy -- I'm not asking you to use a tactic, but being ignorant of a tactic doesn't make you virtuous; it just makes you a victim.
