It's a cult that is only lacking its personality to lead and unify it. It's a generation looking for its Great Orator.

People forget this: Hitler didn't create the NSDAP. It already existed. But it was just a kind of social club that consisted of maybe a half-dozen armchair political philosophers who liked to get together to talk once in a while. Before social media, this is what you had to do to "meet people" - create or join clubs, groups, political parties, churches, service organizations. But because they registered as a "political party", that made them subject to being infiltrated by the German Army in the upheavals after World War 1, which is where Hitler came in. They decided to look for more members, so they decided to let the mole give a speech ... No one knew Hitler could speak. Word got around (there was no television yet), so people went for the entertainment and joined for the politics.
