I don't agree with how dismissive the author is of Goebbels. I don't think people are overreacting comparing him to Bannon. 

Joseph Goebbels was active with the NSDAP as early at 1924, a full 15 years prior to the opening of the second world war. His early speeches talked about 'bolshevization of Germany' and 'Jewish system of exploitation' very mild language in comparison what was to come.  

If you can't see how our current president elect and the mutants he has surrounded himself with couldn't devolve our country into something that might not repeat but absolutely rhymes with the Nazi's, you simply do not have much of an imagination.
