    Hitler was defeated on the market place of ideas

      This ironic statement is what is known as a thought-terminating cliche.

          Quite. Obviously Hitler was defeated by the combined military might of the allies.

          But the important take-away is not, “violence is always the answer”, the important take-away is, “what socio-economic conditions in Germany lead to a fascist like Hitler rising up to dictator power”.

            I see now where you are coming from but I never meant to say “violence is always the answer”. The comment above mine was about how incompatible capitalism and fascism are and if that were the case, Hitler would have been defeated by the market place of ideas
