Fascism and the Sith

[Gorth]

That's why I own six differnt consoles and multiple computing platforms.

I buy a lot of my consoles, or games used. It keeps investment costs down. I maintain a fairly high-end system pretty cheap. My recent 2ghz system with a Radeon 9000 was dirt cheap. Old computers allow me to play old games, and by having multiple computers, I can lan party. Or, I can build one really expensive 3.2ghz System with a Radeon 9800 Pro, but I try to look at the "bang for the buck" factor, and it doesn't seem worth it. I think the next jump for me (in 3-6 months) will be a Pentium 4 2.8 with a Radeon 9600.

 

The Sith as a "nation" comes largely from comics books, and the Episode 1 novelization which tells the story of Darth Bane.

 

Before Hitler truly seized power in Germany, the Nazi's were nothing more than a small militia.

 

Personally, I rather enjoyed Palpatine's subtle machinations in Episode 2.

Actually the Nazis had some strong support ... not enough to win elections but they were supported.

 

The SA were acting as security for Nazi political rallies (with was needed since communist and even anarchist tend to disrupt those rallies) with was the closest to a militia but not really one.

 

And Gorth you are thinking of Crommwell but a better example would be Napoleon that managed to turn the French Republic in to the French Empire with him as emperor.

Yes, and yes

Actually, the Nazis did win elections, as (I can't recall the entire, German spelling) the National Socialist Party (shortened to Nazi).
