It occurred to me that Nazi ideology was entrenched in the German people from as early as the 1920s and officially since 1933 to 1945. You’d think that such a systemic worldview would be difficult to eradicate but it would seem Nazism was quickly removed after the Allies and Russians conquered them.
On the flip side, the Taliban have an entrenched ideology, but despite being occupied for over 20 years they returned to power overnight.
So, I guess two questions: Why didn’t the Nazis wage a guerrilla campaign to retake power? And why were we unable to destroy the Taliban the way we did Nazism?
By we, I’m assuming you mean the american military complex. Too echo others they didn’t stamp out the Nazis they hired them as “scientists” and higher ups in the intelligence agencies. And the ideology lives on around the world and is on the rise. The Taliban and Isis were essentially created by the CIA, u can read about it on Wikipedia. America isnt in western asia to stop the Taliban, America is there to extract resources. But even if America was in western Asia to stop the Taliban america did little to stop Nazi Germany they didn’t enter the war till close to the end and Soviet union had annexed the capital 3 days before the US military was there
