“[Nazis] would be the rocks against which the growing wave of revolution might be shattered.

Soon money began to flow to Hitler and the Nazis from those threatened interests. The Junkers and the industrialists believed they could control this strange leader who, they hoped, would help them keep their power over the masses. They were not disturbed by Hitler's anti-capitalist program. They believed it was only a trick to get the attention of the people.

Little did they know the true nature of the man they had decided to support. They had grabbed a dragon by the tail.”
Louis L. Snyder, Hitler and Nazism

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The dignity and beauty of the room he and Efor were in was as real as the squalor to which Efor was native. To him a thinking man's job was not to deny one reality at the expense of the other, but to include and to connect.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
