Frightening Parallels Between Sark and 1930's Germany

 


1930's GERMANY

One autocratic leader who controls the
constitution and judiciary,
appointing his own Judges

Fascism

A one ruling party

No opposition party
and opposition not tolerated

No transparency and accountability

No democratic process

Propaganda and lies to justify the
one ruling party regime's policies

One ruling party controlling the economy

Fascist laws

No equality before the law

No protection under the law for the people

State officials enforcing the law
with no separation of powers between those
who create and those who enforce the laws

Law enforcement / policing not independent

Abuse of power by state officials

Intimidation, harassment and demonisation
of those identified as enemies of the
one ruling party state

Threats and acts of violence against
those identified as enemies of the
one ruling party state

Vandalism to the property of those
identified as enemies of the
one ruling party state

State officials closed
down free speech / the free press

Thousands forced to leave
