With the goings on in Wisconsin we have seen union protesters carrying signs comparing Governor Scott Walker to Hitler, claiming that one of the first things Hitler did was do away with the trade unions. Followed by the disgraceful words of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown claiming that Republicans were just like Hitler in that they don't want unions.
Well its simply NOT TRUE.
Simply read Hitler's own words (from Mein Kampf, Vol II, Chapter 12):
In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of social policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere. For when the great masses of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade unionist movement the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby.
Before everything else, the trades unions are necessary as building stones for the future economic parliament, which will be made up of chambers representing the various professions and occupations.
