      1923, not 2023

      I would hope most readers here could infer that from the fact I was talking about the NSDAP.

      The ban was of course lifted later, but there’s nothing right-wingers love more than being able to say they are a persecuted by a political elite, so the ban was very good for them.

        No, the ban was good for them because it was removed shortly after, giving them a quasi-revolutionary painting without suffering the consequences. Don’t be their aid by arguing against the efficacy of a ban, thus watering down any action.

          I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future. All I can do is look at past mistakes and try to avoid them.
