Corrections:
1) Hitler, though he ran for election, his position as Chancellor was appointed to him to appease the Nazi Party. The larger argument that he took power through through political means rather than through revolution holds, but many folks have pointed out that "Hitler was elected" is Nazi revision of history. I apologize for the mistake.
2) I have also been informed that historians draw a distinction between "death camp" and "concentration camp," so "the first death camp was created to throw communists in" is also inaccurate; Dachau was a concentration camp where many died, but is not considered a death camp because it was not part of the Final Solution. Again, the larger argument stands.
Bit of a long one, but another nice look at the nature and appeal of fascist ideology and the nonsense of racialism, goes into a bit more detail than John Oliver and is a touch more specific.
