From my understanding of history, every time communism started it started with the young being influenced into thinking it was a new wonderful idea that would bring about a wonderful new world. Every time, the same people were the first to realize how wrong they were and how it NEVER turned out the way they thought. It was usually too late by the time their eyes were opened.
We have over 100 years of historical evidence to understand how communism and its derivatives first gain social appeal, how it then leads to class divisions and resentment, then to the end of innovation, productivity and effective commerce, and finally to economic collapse. It is indeed shocking and confounding that every generation or so, we erase our historical memories and repeat the same self-destructive mistakes all over again, all in the name of enlightened progressivism.
The Hitler Youth was the youth organization of the Nazi Party in Germany. It was set up by Adolf Hitler in 1933 for educating and training male youth in Nazi principles. Under the leadership of Baldur von Schirach, head of all German youth programs, the Hitler Youth included by 1935 almost 60 percent of German boys.
