      Yes and no.

      Many people weren’t racist pieces of shit, but capitalist opportunists or poor people that just wanted to survive

      Many positions are still in conservative hands like the police, judges or many employers, pretty much anything involving money or power

      Most of them at least have fascist tendencies.

      But that’s not a German problem, that is end stage capitalism for you.

      Fascism is a protective mechanism for capitalism
