说德国在任何方面类似于在欧洲仍象征毁灭民主（甚至是文明本身）的纳粹政权是在为纳���政权开脱，是在安抚和鼓励今天的新法西斯主义者，让他们有意无意地回到公众辩论之中。
To say that it resembles in any way the Nazi regime – which in Europe still stands for the destruction of democracy (indeed, civilization itself) – is to exonerate that regime, and to reassure and encourage today’s neo-fascists, allowing them, whether intentionally or not, to reenter the public debate.
