You then use two examples of this "creeping" Hitlerism.
That Australians are now peasants, and the Iraq invasion.
The first one is rubbish. Australians have had, and still do, possess a very high standard of living compared to most countries. (Funnily enough, when Hitler came to power he raised the standards of living for most Germans, so your comparison bums out in two respects here).
The second was, I admit, based on lies. But, politicians lie frequently, so your Labor buddies here too would be "creeping Hitlers." Additionally, the end result in Iraq was supposed to be not a fascist military state, but a liberal democracy. Two very different political doctrines.
The problem here is your vain attempt to, no matter what, link your political opponents to Hitler in some way or another. In doing so you over look empirical evidence that goes against your position. Like all ideologues, you are blinded by your emotional attachment to your beliefs. But, by all means, keep pumping out the false analogies, and I'll be there to show you the contradictions and inconsistencies in your positions.
I believe that i placed rising Naziism off the agenda when i gave it at least 1000 years of rest and rather offered you the word "GREEDISM". I see it quite different but none the less capable of very destructive social and ethical consequences. The issue that i repeatedly reinforced to you is the similarity in that the slow creep of these things hits without people realising. Such as the pure business position that banks take to interest rates, they see no reason to consider community good or the interests of the customer, and the community allow it when only 10 or 15 years ago they would have been guilted into action.
Australian dependancy on middle class welfare has eroded our self reliance. Many people in the middle class would collapse should the welfare be withdrawn and you can be sure it will be withdrawn in time. There are those who both socio-economically and financially have been left behind due to a variety of reasons, the opportunity for these people to succeed is very limited and a sense of finality in their situation can be very destructive. This situation is affecting a larger group of people who truly depend on welfare just to survive, what for them.
And lastly, please do quote where i identify this as a Liberal thing with big cheers for Labor. You are getting very lost in your own self justification. I did not identify any political party and around the world if you want to play politics both sides have played their part, fed and supported by the fear of the community.
