    Yes, his plan is to be cruel.

    Hitler had a plan to solve the financial crisis by oppressing jews. Is it disingenuous to say the cruelty was the point? Should we actually be talking about Hitler’s terrible economic ideas?

      To be fair, it WAS a pretty terrible long term economic plan to attempt to systematically murder huge swaths of your citizenry.

      It is just that the moral, ethical, humane, etc horrors of that direction are much more important.
