Holy cow! A fourth Reich? No sir! The rest of the world would not allow it.

As I understand it, Hitler used the term "third reich" to discribe Germany as he wanted it to be. He never achieved it! He never concoured enough land to claim that Germany was the third reich.

So that would mean that before there can ever be a fourth, there first has to be a third.......

As to Germany being ruled by Nazi's again, I think there's a bigger chance of the US being ruled by the KKK.

OK maybe it can't be the Fourth Reich, but all is not in the name. Is it possible that another radical faction (not nececerily rightist) rises in Germany. After all the economy is in recesion as it was in 1933

No way! Our ' dictatorship of democracy' will never allow any form of anti-democratic mass-movements. No matter if it's nationalism, communism, monarchy or anything else. The only chance for those people would be some sort of revolution or civil war or whatever you would call it.

Exactly.

Hitler was a big loser, he was completely devastated by his enemies in a couple of years, in no way to compare against real Emperors like Chenghis Khan, in no way to call Nazi Germany an Empire.

i will raise a glass to ghengis khan! that was one awesome leader of men!

course, he did have that rape, pillage and burn the town fetish.....

How about Kublai Kang?

How far did he go?

Kublain and Ghengis Khan were two very interesting personalities, but please stay on topic.

Feel free to start some new threads about them if you want to..

Of course, the French will not allow this to happen!

Thank you for allowing me to feel safer while I sleep tonight because France is watching my back.

I think there will always be some wacko(s) out there who want to rule for a thousand years, conqure the world, drive people out into the sea and make them their slaves almost. But I think in this climate it would be impossible. We already have terrorism, dictators, gung-ho militas and skinheads.

People will always want to bring back Facism, there are groups in Germany who march every year just like in Moscow, they march to bring back the Soviet Union.

If I wasn't mistaken wasn't communism also suppose to last forever?
