Free thinking, however, cannot act on its own. It requires constraint and
Fascism is definitely an extreme constraint. I mean, look at the technical
advances that Nazi Germany made during World War II.. the development of
ballistic missiles, atomic weaponry, jet engines, etc. Their scientists
and engineers provided the world with some of the most important
technological advances during the century.
Which opens a whole other can of worms about the US government's dealing
with these post-fascist scientists..
