Re: AC question
OK, arguing about how democratic the Nazi regime was is getting kinda boring.
The essential point can be made without any historical controversies:
Imagine if, say, the UK (which I think we can agree is democratic to any required extent) tomorrow elected a government based on a manifesto dedicated to the extermination of all the Jews in the country. In your opinion, would that government be acting legitimately in carrying out its democratically mandated policy? If yes, then congratulations, you're crazy; If no, then why not? What are the limitations of democracy, and how exactly are these limitations decided?
