It was clearly taught in World History that nazis were far-right fascist authoritarians, which branched off from Mussolini far-right fascists. They were hate filled christians and catholics that put their fictional race above all others as a reason for genocide, theft, power, and control. With their god at their side, they aimed to take over the world, and subjugate or exterminate all others they found inadequate based on religious or non-scientific reasons.
That's what our leaders learned as children/teens, too. But the same thing that was wrong with the nazis is wrong with them. Hate, power, money, in combination with addiction to hard drugs deletes all empathy. There aren't enough checks against power hungry maniacs with money, power, or threats attempting to control everything.
We were also taught that people would violently rise up against a tyrannical government. In the American Government part of American History class. 2nd Amendment. Even in America. Especially in America. See movie: "Red Dawn" (1984) for 80's vibe check about military occupation of America. There we also learned that the Civil War wasn't entirely settled, with the North 'taking it easy' on the South and not forcing immediate slavery, and civil reform. Which results today in remaining pro-slavery, and ultra-conservative southern remnants of the confederate states of traitors. And their eternal quest to destroy the American federal government in any and every way possible.
