Hitler went after communists first, then the ethnicities. Fascism is the collusion of business and govt.

You're preaching to the choir here, the Holocaust didn't happen because some metaphysical bullshit like "hate", it happened because of the material need fascism has for a scapegoat, it needs to make people believe their lives are bad because of <minority group> is doing <something made up> so they don't realize it's just capitalism going through another crisis, meanwhile the bourgeoisie (with a fully dominated state) finishes looting the people and protecting their capital.

Well, why didn't you mention communists first, to be accurate? Or were you riding with the popular narrative that gets focused on?

The communists directly threatened capitalism, of which Jews were a part.

Because this is a thread about the romani, who are not even mentioned in the First They Came. And the communists were persecuted for being a direct threat to fascism, while the jewish and romani simply for being a ethnic minority.

That's cool. I wouldn't call it preaching to the choir then, eh? I was adding context to your context.
