One of the most deplorable actions in metaphor world is comparing
Hitler's actions to that of somebody else's.
The next is talking favorably about Nazis, and the next one is
comparing an organization to Gestapo.Especially in today's world.
This is mostly done by those people who seem to be ignorant
about the deeds of Hitler and his cohorts.People seems to have
forgotten so quick that Hitler was an ultimate devil, his actions
epitomized the extent of non-humanism and his existence in itself
remained the symbol of evil incarnation.
It is in this perspective, when somebody compared Janet Reno to
Hitler in last year's Elian saga in Miami that I told him: don't
underestimate the plight of those Jews who had to fled their
native land, don't underestimate the death of those old men and
children who had to be killed in concentration camp just because
they were born Jewish.
Again in this perspective ,when one communist friend of mine told
me about the selective layoff of communist sympathizers in civil
service of Nepal by the then Girija government after the
unsuccessful and wrong strike(harital) in 2048,comparing those
actions to that of Hitler, I said that he was wrong.The plight
Jews sufferred were incomparably higher than those people.Girija
P Koirala might have been too hard and vindictive in his actions,
but he was not against humanity and also not a Hitler.
We might have witnessed mini-Hitlers in Indira Gandhi, Mao, Polpot
,Idi Amin, Bokasa, Duvelier, Milasevic,Marcos,Saddam,Mccarthy,
Stalin(who ironically was himself a great antiHitler), and the
traits of Hitler might have been reflected in several of
current leaders of this world, but what Hitler did was an ultimate
of monstery.
Let's keep Hitler in his position, let's scorn Nazis and Gestapo
because they deserve this.They shouldn't be quoted any where
as paragon.
That's how we learn from history.
