Hitler, Democracy's skeleton in the closet

This Op-Ed by The New York Times is centered around the link between democracy and Hitler's rise to power. In the article it states that Hitler's sudden leap into power was in part due to democracy and its liberal values. He says because of the economy crash in 1929 the people felt that democracy had failed them. They were looking for alternatives and Hitler was in a prime spot to tap into these upwellings of fear and anger. He also provide the Germans with an easy scapegoat to be blamed with all their troubles: the Jews. I think that this article has quite a few good points, on such being that in another form of government less tolerant than democracy Hitler may never have been able to place his Nazi party in opposition with the current government. Also, the Wall Street crash made people willing to listen to anyone who seemed to have a quick plan to fix the economy.
