Lost: No longer known or practiced, unable to function, not
used, unable to act or make progress, spiritually or
physically destroyed.  AHD

Yes, the power, that was both political and economic was
taken away. 

The Nazis brought to power an an ideology that purported to
champion the common man, whom they portrayed as  victimized
in a world controlled by Jews. Anti-Semitism and notions of
German racial superiority were at the core  of this
ideology, which, in its particulars, was also a catalog of
resentments that had accumulated in German
society since November 1918. Heading the list were the
humiliations associated with Versailles, but not far behind 
were resentments of big business, big banks, big department
stores, and big labour, as well as resentments of the 
divisiveness and inefficiencies seemingly being fostered by
political parties. Britannica

In any event, I agree with davemark here, the analogies on
both sides,  are not very good ones. Toss them out and we
can make some progress, but if we keep them, same old same
old BS. 

I still don't see how Disney, even given the connections
Dave Monroe posted and the one's I have read about in other
sources, is a Nazi. I'm curious, have list members read
Sasuly? I don't see how P's muck raking is any thing like
the blame game.
