According to what I've read, Nazism was a "hollow" philosophy -- control
for the leaders, ceremonies for the followers -- and nothing else.  I'm
not satisfied with this explanation, BTW.

Obsession with symbols instead of realities is not limited to those
funny ferriners.  See http://www.cfa-inc.org/about/cfafaq.htm for an
American example.

In the 1932 elections, one of the head Nazis, I think Bohrmann, was asked by
a reporter, "Yes, we all know what you are against, but what are you in
favor of?"  And the guy answered (my words in precis) We don't need to be in
favor of anything.  People will vote for us just because we are opposed to
the things they are opposed to."  Cute, no?
