Did Free Speech Play A Role In Hitler's Rise To Power with Chris Trotter
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Get ready for some hardcore history as Free Speech Union member Daphna Whitmore talks to political commentator par excellence Chris Trotter about the conditions that gave rise to Nazism. Despite Hitler taking power after being banned from public speaking - and the Nazi party itself being outlawed for two years - many today see censorship as vital in the fight against the Far-Right. But are they ignoring the social conditions of post-WW1 Germany? And are our would-be censors running the same risk by ignoring the social conditions that are leading to alienation today? Chris sets the scene simply and clearly in what a challenging and informative episode. https://www.fsu.nz/mallard_must_go
