Hannah Arendt IS a very interesting philosopher, and was probably the most insightful critic of fascism. Her teacher was Martin Heidegger, who held onto his fascist beliefs until his dying day.

And yes, I agree. As horrible as fascism was, it didn't rise from a vacuum. The Weimar republic that we imposed on them after WWI, along with the massive debt we saddled them with at Versailles virtually guaranteed the rise of fascism in that country. The allies of WWI are as much to blame for the rise of Hitler as the German people.
