It's ironic, the American left is always going on about cultural imperialism, but they are always always trying to impose their values on other cultures around the world.

That's absolutely true. The only difference is that one group claims it's morally wrong and does it anyway, the other group at least claims they think they're doing the right thing.

World War 2 became the new founding myth of the boomer generation, and in particular the American empire's boomer generation. Prior to that, I'm sure they'd accuse you of being a satan worshipper, it's a catch-all for "bad person" rather than anything meaningful.

I use personally use Nazi imagery as a shorthand for the same reason -- everyone knows Adolf Hitler wasn't a very nice chap, he was an authoritarian dictator who did some pretty bad things a lot of people went out and fought against, and certain world leaders are not very nice chaps who are out there doing some very bad things. I agree that you can't compare national socialism to anything we have at the moment except through vague historical similies.

One thing I think is really important is that a lot of those young men who are now our grandfathers and great grandfathers went out and fought for a freedom we obviously are seeing deteriorate in many western countries. I keep the fact that my grandfather became very disillusioned as he watched what happened right up until he died close to my heart.

This is a great video by a guy from Ontario Canada that reviews a lot of the primary sources and analyses thing from a number of different viewpoints.
