    This can only end well in the same way nazi g*rmany was dealt with. Fascists can’t be stopped by words, they don’t share basic ethical values and see other people as subhuman. It’s a shame, really. But what other way of stopping this social perversion is there?

      Nazi Germany wasn’t even dealt with. It was integrated into the US NATO apparatus. De-nazification is a myth, the Nuremberg Trials were a limited hangout only done at the insistence of Stalin.

      If you want to know how to actually decolonize and denazify, you instead have to look at how DPRK handled Japanese and American collaborators via the Songbun system. Those who betrayed the country are expressly blocked and forbidden from gaining any political or economic power for the rest of their lives, their families also blocked until they prove that they are loyal revolutionaries through service and deed.

        If you go to public school in Germany you are literally taught that one of the main factors for the rise of nazism was that pro-monarchy judges from the German Empire got to keep their government offices in the Weimar Republic and blocked all social progress they possibly could

        You are also taught that the Red Army Faction demanding ex-nazi officials shouldn’t keep their offices was unreasonable and evil shrug-outta-hecks

        You are right, I was thinking mostly about East Germany, the west was a joke. Thanks for providing the example of Korea, I didn’t know how it was handled in the north, only that occupied South Korea kept the same korean military police from the japanese era.
