1. La Hiperinflación de Weimar y el Ascenso Nazi.
La República de Weimar en Alemania es frecuentemente citada como un ejemplo crítico de cómo la inestabilidad económica extrema, particularmente la hiperinflación, puede erosionar la confianza pública y crear un terreno fértil para el extremismo político. Las reparaciones de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la impresión descontrolada de dinero llevaron a una devaluación monetaria sin precedentes, afectando profundamente a la población.
- At least germany had hyperinflation before the nazis took over getting inflation under control was, as here, a big motivator for people to vote for them.
- When i was young, my mom told that her mother fled from germany after the inflation reached a point that people would need wheelbarrows of money to pay for bread and milk.
- I know. I was specifically talking about inflation and the harm it caused. By the reparations demaded by vers.treaty. With astronomically high inflation rates, it is difficult for the population to cope. In this case, a factor leading to the rise of fascism.
- Story time. This one was my grandfathers but i think it needs to be heard now. It was post wwi germany. The country was saddled with war debt and inflation was rampant. The story you may have heard in history class about a wheelbarrow of marks wouldnt be enough to buy a loaf of bread was reality 1.
- Money is all relative. Once they start creating money without anything to back it except handwaving, well be in the wheelbarrow stage of inflation. Weimar republic and third reich all rolled into one.
- The german people on the whole were lied to, in a desperate state, with runaway inflation. If you were to count anyone who joined a federal political party as war criminals, youd pretty much be eradicating most of the population of germany.
- My history pet peeve is people linking german hyperinflation with the rise of the nazi party. Hyperinflation happened in 1923, a decade before the nazi takeover. By 1933, they were suffering from deflation. This matters because german fear of 2 inflation caused a lot of suffering in the eurozone.
- This was what adolf hitler did. The german people had horrendous inflation where money was worth so little it made sense to burn it to keep warm. A postage stamp was 30 million marks. Germany was humiliated and scoured out by war reparations. Hitler promised pride, re-armament and jobs. 2.
- The nazis rose to power legally. They were voted in by fearful and angry germans, fearful of communists and angry about war reparations and the resulting runaway inflation of the weimar papiermark.
- Hyperinflation affected the german papiermark, the currency of the weimar republic, between 1921 and 1923, primarily in 1923. The german currency had seen significant inflation during the first world war due to the way in which the german government funded its war effort through borrowing, with.
2. La Inflación como Catalizador del Fascismo y la Desconfianza.
Más allá del caso alemán, la inflación es vista como un factor clave que debilita la confianza en las instituciones gubernamentales y el contrato social, empujando a las poblaciones hacia soluciones extremistas. La inestabilidad económica puede ser explotada por líderes autoritarios que prometen orden y prosperidad.
- But theres not a direct causal link between hyper-inflation and the rise of fascism. Hyper-inflation and currency instability definitely weakens trust in the liberalsocdem led government, the great depression really seems to be the one where the nsdap starts winning elections and doesnt stop.
- Unfortunately as we learned, this was not the case. Fascism does not generally produce a prosperous economy and authoritarians frequently call the shots over the central bank, leading to out of control inflation.
- Not trying to be too much of an economist, but fascism is also weirdly effective at creating inflation. Something about buying all those guys helmets and guns.
- I hear you, but why should we choose between inflation and our rights. This is not a good bargain - i want both price stability and freedom. I am not sure what is the lesser evil inflation or fascism. Historically they are connected. Inflation often leads to nationalism and dictatorship.
- Unemployment harms democracies, but inflation kills them.
- This group is screwing it up. Hitler and mussolini rose to power during a time of immense economic turmoil, the citizenry deflated by devalued currency and runaway inflation. The people needed a strong man, and it had to be someone different from the rest.
- Inflation lead to fascism not weak opposition. It was inflation. Inflation erodes the trust in government institutions. It breaks social contract between people and the government.
- The recipe for fascism. Add jackbooted thugs murdering people in the streets and comprised elections, stir with anti-socialist propaganda, garnish with stagnant wages and hyper-inflation, and voila! fascist oligarchy facilitated by patriarchal white supremacy with a side of kakistocracy.
- Fascism shattered europe a century ago historians hear echoes today in the u.s. With their economies shredded by inflation unemployment, italy germany turned from democracy to dictatorships. Scholars see troubling parallels in contemporary american democracy.
3. Paralelismos y Advertencias Actuales.
Muchos observadores contemporáneos trazan paralelos entre las condiciones históricas que llevaron al ascenso del fascismo y las tendencias actuales en diversas naciones, incluyendo Estados Unidos. La preocupación por la inflación, la deuda nacional y la polarización política son vistas como señales de advertencia.
- Now look at the conditions that the current us regime seems dead set on recreating. See it now?
- In response to rampant inflation from segregating from the rest of the world to rebuild their military, germany started printing fun money that only made inflation worse. 100 years later in the us, oh its the same but for intelligence scraping electronic warfare bull.
- We are doing an excellent job of repeating post weimar germany in our actions and deeds. What is coming next, hyper inflation.
- I used to say that german politicians were afraid that inflation caused the nazis and that inflation was the thing that would bring them back. I owe them an apology because clearly they were more right than i thought.
- If we do not pass a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, the us will eventually collapse financially. When it does, there are now neo-nazis inside the gop that are preparing to take full advantage of it. Think it cant happen here? hitler came to power mainly because of inflation.
- Propaganda is much easier to spread these days. I am terrified by what is happening in the us. Germany was at least dealing with economic failure, pst war reparations and out of control inflation. Many people were desperate. But the us economy was pretty strong. Greed and entitlement did this.
- We are the new shithole country hopefully will still be one in a few years to welcome people back. None of us feel safe here, anyone not from here should feel even more at risk. Aside from our inflation, we have nazis running things.
- American economic genius at work ignore the feds independence, print money like confetti, and voilà weimar republic 2.0. Turkeys 80 inflation wasnt enough warning, apparently.
- Our hope is that our conditions arent as bad as pre-wwii germany yet. Were headed the same way as them with unemployment rates, inflation, etc. This time is precious for us to act.
- I was very skeptical of the weimar inflation causes hitler story but ill be damned if it didnt go pretty much exactly the same way in this century too.
- We were all so worried that trump was going to turn this country into nazi germany that we all forgot that probably meant hed have to turn us into weimar germany first rampant inflation, dysfunctional legislature that cant legislate, political fistfights in the streets, the whole schtick.
