not all Germans were Nazis, not all Russians were communists and not all British were colonialists - concentration camps and prisons can tell you that story.
but today everyone needs to accept that every country has dark times in their history and while not personally responsible for the past, everyone should know enough about history that they know they are responsible for what happens in the future.
so if you vote for nationalism, fascism or communism today, you cannot say later you didn't know what happens when they come back to power. you are guilty.
