The Story - and Lessons - of Fascism in Europe with Rick Steves

[@geeemm8028]

I am 35 mins in and am hoping there are answers as to how the fascists' spells over their supporters were broken. How will we recover from this phase in American history? I have sincerely wondered about this for the last seven+ years.

[@carlosblanco2967]

Thanks Rick! I come from a comunist country, Cuba. And back in 2016 I saw in Trump the auhoritarism I saw in Castro and Chavez. I beleive is not about left or right, trump just want absolute power and the right is giving him the platform. If comunism was good for him, he would have been more Marxist than Lenin. I hope democracy survives the trumpism.

TIMELY!!

[@sacroyalty]

Powerful video, thanks for sharing. After seeing swastikas in the old USA then going to Germany earlier this year and seeing the historical sites, many in your video, everything really weighing on us. As it looks like it is on so many Americans.

[@DawnMahaffey-d9k]

THANK YOU for your efforts

[@jeremycranford2732]

Great presentation. Thanks Rick!

[@philpatt970]

Thank you for this informative and very timely video.

[@MikeRogers-gt9vj]

Steve, This is outstanding. Thank you. IMy thinking agrees with yours, that this Presidential Election is about Democracy vs Authoritarianism. Thank you again.

[@thorstenkrell6038]

Thanks for that talk from a German who hopes that after the election there will still be the USA and not "Trumpland"!

[@Reconrick79]

Germans don’t need to have any say regarding the future of our nation. Furthermore a so called “trump land” as you say is exactly what we need. The Democratic Party is against what this country was founded on and we will 110% be in a global conflict if the Democratic Party wins this election.

[@CraigAnderson-h2h]

The future here is dark even if Trump loses. He will not just walk away and we saw what his supporters did in 2020. In other words, no win situation.

[@proseforpoets]

Your slovenly ignorance of how the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of our government actually work is appalling.

Brexit was basically a referendum on mass immigration, the people never voted for mass immigration and were never asked. Brexit was their voice, but the uniparty increased immigration post Brexit anyway..

I was born in Bavaria in 1926, went to ‘Volksschule’ In suburb of Munich and eventually enrolled at Munich’s university, where I took courses in 1:30:27 literature, history and languages.

[@jasonli9771]

I really appreciated for this “Special Topic_the story, and lessons, of Fascism in Europe”, even years before I had already watched your Episode_”Germany’s Fascist Story”. It refreshed my memory of some important histories.thank you very much again!

[@RedTalon902]

Thank you for speaking out! Love your show and now love you. God bless you.

[@jt98116]

Timely, relevant, important. Thanks Rick.

[@priscillawakefield8439]

It’s past time I realize that your travels have delved you into the political scene of our continents. 2 visits to Italy can spark the questions!!!

[@Miracle-td2if]

Thank you excellent

[@azdbuk]

I will watch this video later, love travel and the Steves shows. Ill just say this beforehand, there are a few lifetime GOPrs out there, right, religious, conservative, whatever, let's say on the right of most everything, that are stunned at how devoted some are to one of the candidates...hard to find, but some exist..there is no making sense with some devotees. It is ruining friendships, even family. It is all hype and emotion, zero intellect. Being poorly informed and isolationist (cloistered, sheltered), adds to this all hype no facts syndrome. I have not seen it to this level since my first election many years ago. Vote for whoever one wants but at least accept facts and good information.....is my take-but it does not seem to be happening. The aggregate intellectual level of our Republic has declined so much. Read Washington's and Lincoln's writings and compare them the orations of our candidates of today's culture. It is mindboggling how vapid we have become.

Travelled all throughout Europe and it helped me realize why we absolutely cannot turn into Europe.

[@pablosirois2647]

I think its too easy to focus on what someone says or what people say of him instead of looking at their actions

Trumpa -Leenee. God help us

[@proseforpoets]

Oh, the irony! Galicia, Stepan Bandera, Azov Battalion, Ukraine, your support of Ukraine, Russia,Russia,Russia, Trump,Trump,Trump. Etc… Such puerile drivel.

[@kek1287]

The comparison of DJT to Hitler is laughable.

[@DawnMahaffey-d9k]

Laughable how? Because you agree or disagree with this information. Your opinion is unclear.

[@azdbuk]

A direct comparison may be laughable, but the dynamics are similar. Poorly read devotees who hate the think independently and are driven by hype abound.

[@kursed34]

@@azdbuk So a Liberal, got it.

Autocrats who genuinely believe they lost the election do not step down from power voluntarily. Autocrats do not advocate for citizens to own their own firearms. Autocrats also don’t respect a court system that prosecutes them for political reasons.

[@burnsport1]

Thank you Rick for reminding us of the Fascist threat - and to never vote for Kamala!!!!

[@sheilah4525]

Stick to travel; you screw that up enough already and you are not a historian.

[@DawnMahaffey-d9k]

And, your opinion blinds you to facts. You are definitely part of the problem

[@jamesbenages649]

Now he’s involved in politics?

[@proseforpoets]

Do flys speck?

[@michaellemos6053]

Do you seriously think you’re changing anybody’s mind? How arrogant you are. You’re just a very successful travel guy who is making half his audience angry.

[@АлександрТараданов-р5я]

If you want to find a fascist regime, then take a look at Russia. Russia is the purest example of fascism.
