I found this interesting and prescient: &quot;Hitler&#x27;s Program&quot;, by Leon Trotsky (1934). “Hitler has been widely regarded as a demagogue, a hysterical person, and a comedian… It takes more than hysteria to seize power, and method there must be in the Nazi madness.” <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.marxists.org&#x2F;archive&#x2F;trotsky&#x2F;1934&#x2F;xx&#x2F;hitler.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.marxists.org&#x2F;archive&#x2F;trotsky&#x2F;1934&#x2F;xx&#x2F;hitler.htm</a>
