Doesn't work. Nazis operate by active not passive methods.
Big point is that everything the Nazis accused the Jews of, democracy is doing.
@monarchist @freepatriot I'd rather replace "the Jew" with "the Nazi".

The pioneer spirit valued realism
Pragmatism often means too much acceptance of the situationa s it is.
Realism means enforcing the reality principle even when unpopular.
If you take a copy of Mein Kampf and replace "the Jew" with "democracy," it starts to make sense.
@monarchist @Palky55 @heretical_i @freepatriot This is true... but many times, this leaves out the questions "beacause", which then brings to light differences in goals, values and method.
Focusing on what works I think is one of the major contributions of the US to philosophy in the 19:th century, pragmatism.
