Key Notes
Madison Grant's Nordic race theory influenced Nazi eugenics policy, including the murder of disabled and handicapped people.
The later Nazi impulse to suppress divisions is framed as a reflection on Germany's World War I defeat and internal pluralism.
In Jiang's account, Weimar Nazism is a pagan solution to German national humiliation: find a leader who represents collective will.
Jiang says Rousseau's line of thinking gives rise to communism and Nazism, while Locke's gives rise to the U.S. Constitution.
