Look up "yahoo dumbasses" in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of Hitler and his crew. Fascists don't win power on intellectual or strategic prowess, certainly not their own and not even that of the reactionaries and moneybags who help them into power thinking they can control these bumbling meatheads. This myth that Hitler or any other fascist leader is some brilliant mastermind has got to go. Don't underestimate the damage the blunt instrument of fascism can do.
