Quote:In Germany it most definitely is.I've heard that, "Under German law, performing a Hitler salute, wearing Nazi uniforms or displaying the swastika can carry a penalty of up to three years in prison." Also, denying the holocaust is a crime I believe in most of Europe.
I understand why they did that in Europe, however, I think the cauterizing light of truth is a better cure for wrong minded ideologies. The literate, and well educated philosopher should be willing, and strong winded in denouncing such things as Nazism, fascism, and totalitarianism. Of course, when the revolution comes, the intelligentsia are the first up against the wall.
